Vibrator Oil Check
1. Place the plate 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 21. The oil level should be up to the oil plug.
The vibrator holds 140 cc (approximately 1 pint).
Changing Vibrator Oil

located at the bottom of the vibrator (Figure 21),
2. Tip the compactor to drain the oil.
NOTE
When adding or replacing oil, replace
using only SAE 10W-30 motor oil.
Vibrator oil will drain more easily
while it is warm. NOTE
