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 28). 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. Oil capacity is 600 cc,
2. Position handle bar vertically (storage position).
3. Using a 14 mm wrench remove the vibrator oil drain plug
(Figure 28) from the vibrating plate assembly.
4. After hydraulic oil has been completely drained from
machine, fill with 10W-30 motor oil to the appropriate safe
operating level (Figure 28).
5. Re-install 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, re-connect 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.
