Through this process, the engine revolution is changed to the pendulum revolution suitable for compacting. The vibrator pulley rotates the pendulum axis of the drive side. The two pendulums inside the vibrator are fixed to the two pendulum axes that are positioned in parallel and are connected with the gear.
Before inspection and maintenance work, stop the engine, and do your work on a flat surface area. If a cell is attached, remove the battery wiring before your work. ■ Mikasa does not accept any responsibility for accidents caused by remodeling or rework done on the machine.
4-2. Refueling Precautions DANGER ! ■ When adding fuel, Make sure you work in a well ventilated location. Make sure the engine is stopped and wait until it cools down. Take the machine to a clear flat loca- tion without any combustibles nearby. Be careful not to spill the fuel.
Lifting Precautions (Continued) ■ Stop the engine and shut the fuel cock while lifting. ■ Use a sufficiently strong wire rope. ■ For lifting, use only one point hoisting hook, and do not lift at any other part. ■ When the machine is hoisted, never let people or animals come under- neath.

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) Effective...
8. Operation 8-1. Starting Gasoline Engine Set the fuel cock lever to the “Out” position to let the fuel flow. (Fig. 3-1, 3-2, 3-3) Fuel Cock (HONDA) Fuel Cock (ROBIN EX-TYPE) “ O ” Fuel Cock Lever “ l ” FLOW Fuel Cock Lever fig.3-2...

Choke (ROBIN EH-TYPE) Choke (ROBIN EX-TYPE) Choke Lever Operation(Open) Operation(Open) Choke Lever fig.8-3 fig.8-2 After the engine has started, warm up the engine at low speed for 2 to 3 minutes. This is especially important in cold weather. While warming up, check for any abnormalities suchas gas leakage.
Diesel Engine (MVH-150D) Open the fuel cock lever. (Fig 9) Fuel Cock Close Open fig.9 Open the throttle lever to about 30° for the Throttle Lever idling position. (Fig.10) Open by about 30 degress fig.10 Recoil starter Recoil Starter CAUTION !...
8-2. Operation CAUTION ! While the machine is in operation, make sure there is no object or structure that might cause injury or machine damage in the direction that the machine is moving. If the throttle lever is opened suddenly, the machine starts to operate.
9. Stopping the Machine Move the throttle lever from ON to OFF (for diesel engine, to idle position). Run the engine for 3 to 5 minutes at low speeds to cool it down before stopping. Diesel Engine Move the throttle lever to the stop position to stop the engine.
10. Transportation WARNING ! ■ Make sure there is no breakage of guard frame and anti-vibration rubber nor loosened or missing bolts. ■ Always stop the engine when lifting. ■ Use an intact wire rope without any deformation with sufficient strength. ■...
12-2. Changing the Engine Oil Perform the first engine oil change after 20 hours of operation, then change at every 100 hours. 12-3. Cleaning the Air Cleaner When the air cleaner element becomes dirty, the engine does not start smoothly, and suffi- cient output cannot be obtained.
Not necessary to screw the machine. ※ Use engine oil SAE 10W-3D as lubrication fig.18 oil. The quantity used is 200cc for MVH-R60 and 350cc for MVH-120/150. CAUTION ! When checking the vibrator oil, clean the oil port beforehand to prevent dust and other foreign materials from falling into the oil.

Pour hydraulic oil from the hand pump breather plug attachment hole. (MVH-R60: 0.25L, MVH-120/150: 0.3L) Remove the air releasing plug of vibrator cylin- der. Then oil will come out from the air releas- ing plug. After air bubbles stop coming out, attach the plug.
13. Troubleshooting 13-1. Gasoline Engine (1) Starting Problem ■ Fuel is supplied, but the igniter plug does not ignite. Electricity reaches the high voltage cable. Bridging the igniter plug. Carbon accumulated on the igniter plug. Short circuit due to insulation problems of the igniter plug. Inappropriate spark gap.
13-2. Diesel Engine (1) Starting Problem (A) In case of compression problems ■ No compression at all Intake/exhaust valve upthrust Decompressor adjustment problems ■ Almost no compression Contact with seat not close enough. Piston ring wear Cylinder wear Cylinder, cylinder head mating surface problems Nozzle seat looseness (B) In case of inappropriate fuel injection inside the combustion chamber ■...
■ Firing problem with white smoke (when unloaded) Piston, cylinder ring wear Nozzle hole clogging Piston ring stuck Wrong assembly (upside down) of piston ring Inappropriate injection timing Inappropriate valve open/close timing Looseness of injection pump joint ■ Fuel consumption too high (black smoke) Leakage from fuel passage Clogging of the air cleaner element Inappropriate fuel due to mixing of impurities...
