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.

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. Slowly lift upward without applying any impact. Never let people or animals go under the lifted machine.
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.
Changing the Clutch Remove the V-belt. (See the belt removing steps described in the previous page.) Remove the bolt at the engine output shaft end by applying an impact (hitting with a hammer) to the spanner. (in a counterclockwise direc- tion).
