2. The V-belt tension is proper if the V-belt bends 10 to 15 mm
(Figure 9) when depressed with finger at midway between
the clutch and vibration pulley shafts.

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. See
maintenance section.
Vibrator Oil Check
1. Place the MVH-150D2 plate compactor horizontally on a flat
surface. Make sure the compactor is level when checking the
oil in the vibrator assembly.
2. With the handle bar positioned vertically (storage position),
use a 24 mm wrench and remove breather plug (Figure 10).
Visually check to see if hydraulic oil comes up to the oil level
line that is etched on the back side of the handle.

3. If the hydraulic oil level is low, replace with "Shell Tellus" oil
#46 or equivalent.
