These inspection intervals are meant for operation under normal condi-
tions. Adjust your inspection intervals based on the number of hours your plate
compactor is in use, and particular working conditions.
3.2 Exciter Oil
When changing the exciter oil, place the exciter on a flat, horizontal surface, remove the
drain plug located at the bottom-right of the vibrator, and simply tip the compactor to
drain the oil. Note that the oil will drain more easily while it is hot. DO NOT pour in too
much oil.
