Figure 3. MVH-200GH Components
Figure 3 illustrates the location of the major components for the

component is described below:
1. Hand Grip – When operating the compactor use this hand
grip to maneuver the compactor.
2. Forward & Reverse Lever –
Push
the lever forward, the
compactor will move in a forward direction,
pull
the lever
backwards, the compactor will move in backwards direction.
Placing the lever in the middle (midway) will cause the
compactor not to move (neutral).
