GENERAL INFORMATION  
DEFINITION OF PLATE COMPACTOR  
FREQUENCY/SPEED  
The Mikasa MVH408GH is a reversible plate compactor  
designed for efficient compaction of sand, graveland  
cohesive soils. This plate compactor is a powerful  
compacting tool capable of applying a tremendous force  
in consecutive high frequency vibrations to a soil surface.  
Its applications include compacting for road, embankments  
and reservoirs as well as backfilling for gas pipelines, water  
pipelines and cable installation work.  
The compactor's vibrating plate produces a vibration  
frequency of 4,400 VPM (vibrations per minute).  
The travel speed of the compactor is approximately  
82 ft/minute (25 meters/minute).  
ENGINE  
This plate compactor is equipped with a Honda  
GX390UT2SMXC air cooled, 4-cycle gasoline engine.  
The engine drives an eccentric weight at a high speed to  
develop a compaction force.  
VIBRATORY PLATES  
The vibratory plates of the compactor produce low  
amplitude high frequency vibrations, designed to compact  
granular soils and asphalt.  
CONTROLS  
Before starting the plate compactor identify and understand  
the function of all the controls and components.  
The resulting vibrations cause forward motion.The engine  
and handle are vibration isolated from the vibrating plate.

INSPECTION  
V-BELT INSPECTION  
VIBRATOR OIL CHECK  
Visually examine the V-belt (Figure 8) and determine if it  
is full of tiny cracks, frayed, has pieces of rubber missing,  
is peeling or otherwise damaged.  
1. Place the plate compactor horizontally on a flat surface.  
Make sure the compactor is level when checking the  
oil in the vibrator assembly.  
Also, examine the belt and determine if it is oil soaked or  
"glazed " (hard shiny appearance on the sides of the belt).  
Either of these two conditions can cause the belt to run hot,  
which can weaken it and increase the danger of it breaking.  
2. Check vibrator oil level by removing the oil plug (vibrator  
oil gauge) as shown in Figure 10. Clean the oil gauge  
and re-thread back in.Remove the oil gauge again and  
confirm oil level does not exceed the cross hash of the  
oil plug. DO NOT OVERFILL  
If the V-belt exhibits any of the referenced wear conditions  
replace the V-belt immediately  
OIL SOAKED  
3. The vibrator holds approximately 20.3 oz. (600 cc).  
IMPORTANT, if oil is required, replace using only SAE  
10W-30 motor oil.

STARTUP  
3. Place the choke lever (Figure 14) in the “CLOSED”  
position if starting a cold engine.  
CAUTION  
DO NOT attempt to operate the compactor  
until the Safety, General Information and  
Inspection sections of this manual have  
been read and thoroughly understood.  
CHOKE LEVER  
This section is intended to assist the operator with the  
initial startup of the compactor. It is extremely important  
that this section be read carefully before attempting to use  
the compactor in the field.  
STARTING THE ENGINE  
CLOSED  
1. Place the engine fuel valve lever (Figure 12) to the  
“ON” position.  
Figure 14. Choke Lever (Closed)  
NOTICE  
The CLOSED position of the choke lever enriches the  
fuel mixture for starting a COLD engine. The OPEN  
position provides the correct fuel mixture for normal  
operation after starting, and for restarting a warm  
engine.  
4. When the engine is stopped, the hour tachometer  
always shows "cumulative time" (Figure 15).

compactor.Keep work area clear of debris  
and other objects that could cause bodily  
injury or damage to the compactor.  
5. Compactor traveling speed may drop on soils which  
contain clay, however there may be cases where  
traveling speed drops because the compaction plate  
does not leave the ground surface easily due to the  
composition of the soil. To rectify this problem do the  
following:  
1. Once the engine has started, move the engine throttle  
lever quickly to the operation position (Figure 20).  
• Check the bottom plate to see if clay or equivalent  
material has been lodged in the plate mechanism. If  
so, wash with water and remove.
