1. To check  the V-belt tension, remove the  bolts that secure

the belt cover to the frame as shown in Figure 8.

3. A loose V-belt will decrease the power transmission output,

causing reduced compaction and premature wear of the
belt.

4. If the V-belt becomes worn or loose, replace it .

1. Place the MVC-40Gplate compactor horizontally on a flat

surface. Make sure the compactor is level when checking the
oil in the vibrator assembly.

2. Check  vibrator oil level by removing  the plug  (vibrator  oil gauge)

as shown in Figure 10.   The oil level should be up to the oil plug.
If oil is required, replace using only SAE 10W-30 motor oil.

NEVER attempt to check the V-belt with the engine running.
Severe injury can occur if your hand (Figure 7) gets caught
between the V-belt and the clutch. Always use safety gloves.
