Never use a “pressure washer” to clean your plate compactor. Water can penetrate tight areas
of the unit and cause damage to spindles, pulleys, bearings, or the engine. The use of pressure
washers will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability.
Checking V-belts
To ensure optimum power transmission from the engine to the eccentric shaft, the V-belts must be in good condition and operate
under proper tension.
1. Turn off engine. Engine must be cool.
2. Remove the belt guard to access the V-belts.
3. Check the condition of the V-belts. If any V-belt is cracked, frayed, or glazed, it should be replaced as soon as convenient.
4.
Check the V-belts tension by squeezing them in the center. The normal deflection on each side should be 9 mm (3/8”) to
13 mm (1/2”) with moderate pressure from your thumb or finger.
On new machines or after installing a new belt, check belt tension after first 20 hours of operation. Check and adjust
belt every 50 hours thereafter.
Tensioning V-belts
Proper belt tension is critical to good performance. Proper adjustment will assure long belt life. Too much or too little belt
tension will cause premature belt failure.
1. Remove the metal cover or water tank.
2. Loosen 4 engine mount bolts (do not remove) only enough to move the engine forward.

MAINTENANCE
Maintaining your compactor will insure long
life to the machine and its components.
Preventive Maintenance
Turn off engine. Engine must be cool.
Keep the engine’s throttle lever in its
SLOW position, and remove spark plug
wire from spark plug and secure.
Inspect the general condition of the
plate compactor. Check for loose screws,
m i s a l i g n m e n t o r b i n d i n g o f m o v i n g
parts, cracked or broken parts, and any
other condition that may affect its safe
operation.
R e m o v e a l l d e b r i s f r o m t h e p l a t e
compactor with a soft brush, vacuum,
or compressed air. Then use a premium
quality lightweight machine oil to lubricate
all moving parts.
Clean the bottom of the compactor base
as soon as it begins to pick up soil being
compacted. The unit can not do a good
job if the bottom surface is not smooth
and clean.
Replace spark plug wire.

When adjusting the belt(s), make
sure that the clutch pulley is in
alignment with exciter pulley.
Loosen the jam nuts B, leaving enough
space between the nut and bracket.
When the V-belt tension is correct, tighten
the jam nuts B against the bracket.
Tighten the engine mount bolts.
Replace the belt guard.
Push engine toward the back of the plate
by turning the adjustment bolts A to
remove any slack in V-belt(s).
Remove the metal cover or water tank.
Loosen 4 engine mount bolts (do not
remove) only enough to move the engine
forward.
