7. Inspection Before Operation
Clean each part of the machine well to maintain
dirt and dust-free condition. Pay special attention
to the soil attached to the bottom of the compact-
ing board, engine cooling air inlet, and the carbu-
retor and air cleaner area to keep those parts clean.
Check each part for any looseness of bolts. Vibra-
tion causes bolts to loosen, which might result in
unexpected accident or malfunction.
Inspect the guard hook, belt cover and anti-
vibration rubber to check the function of speed
adjustment wire and speed adjusting lever.
Check for oil leakage from the hydraulic pump and
hoses.
Check the V-belt tension. (See p.19.) The belt
should have about 10–15mm of flexibility when
pushed strongly with a finger at the mid-point
between the axes. If the V-belt is loosened, power
is not transmitted well, which reduces compacting
force and shortens the life of the V-belt.
Set the engine on a level surface to check the oil
level. If the oil level is low, add oil. Use the follow-
ing engine oil.(Fig. 1)
Set the machine on a level surface, then remove
the oil gauge of the vibrator. Check the oil gauge
to see if the oil is at the specified level. Use engine
oil SAE10W-30 as lubrication oil.
Recommended oil quantity for MVH-R60 is 200cc
and MVH-120/150, 350cc. (Fig. 2)
Refueling
-Do not expose to open flames while refueling.
-Do
not fill to the rim because the fuel might spill.
-Wipe off well if a spill occurs.
Use clean automotive gasoline or automotive light
oil appropriate for the engine. Let the fuel run
hrough a filter when refueling.

OPERATIONAL CAUTION
Check engine oil and fuel level.
If not enough, add to proper level.
To START engine:
1.Warm up engine at low speed for 3 to 5 minutes.
2.Operate machine always at full speed to avoid
incorrect clutch engagement.
3.Use travel lever for forward and reverse motion.
Do not push or pull lever strongly.
To STOP engine:
Move stop switch to "OFF' position.
To LIFT machine by using lifting hook in center
To STORE machine covered with plastic sheet in a moisture.
