MVH-406DSZ—MAINTENANCE
Vibrator Oil Level Check
1. In every 100 hours of operation, with the machine positioned
horizontally, use a 3/4” (19 mm) wrench and remove vibrator
oil level check plug (Figure 26). Visually inspect and see if
vibrator oil level is up to filler port. Be sure to clean area
around check hole to prevent dirt and dust from entering.
Draining Vibrator Oil
1. Replace vibrator oil after first 200 hours and in every 1,000
hours of operation.
2. Position handle bar vertically (storage position).
3. Using a 14 mm wrench remove the vibrator oil drain plug
(Figure 26) from the vibrating plate assembly.
Always clean the area around the vibrator oil level check plug
before removing oil check plug. This will prevent dirt and debris
from entering the system.
CAUTION
For draining oil through level check hole, have
the machine inclined with a sleeper or the like
placed under the compaction plate on opposite
side.
4. After hydraulic oil has been completely drained from
machine, fill with 10W-30 motor oil to the appropriate safe
operating level (Figure 26).
5. Reinstall drain plug into vibrating plate assembly. Apply seal
tape or Loctite #575 to thread portion of drain plug.
2. Push the travel lever back and forth to drain the hydraulic oil
from the hand pump (hydraulic oil reservoir).
3. After draining hydraulic oil, reconnect hydraulic oil hose to
cylinder.
4. Place handle in upright position. Pull travel lever all the way
back (reverse), and using a rope, secure travel lever to hand
grip.

Adding Hydraulic Oil
1. Remove the breather cap and oil plug (Figure 28) from the
hydraulic oil tank using a 24mm hex socket.
2. Using a funnel, add
Shell Tellus Oil #46
or equivalent to the
hydraulic oil tank through the oil filler port (Figure 29). Oil
tank capacity is 50.7 fl. oz (1500 cc).
