2. Set the throttle to slow, stop the engine, and wait for
all moving parts to stop.
3. Raise the machine with lifting equipment with a 440 kg
(970 lb) lift capacity.
4. Place an oil drain pan under the oil plug and remove
the plug from the eccentric housing (Figure 23).
5. Tip the plate compactor slightly to the right, and use
a suction gun to remove the oil through the oil plug
hole (Figure 23).
6. Tip the plate compactor slightly to the left, and slowly
pour 0.5 liter (6.9 oz) of the specified oil into the oil
plug hole (Figure 23).
Note: Use a funnel with a hose to pour oil into the
oil plug hole if necessary.
7. Lower the machine onto the level surface.
8. Verify that the oil level is correct when there is a slight
flow of oil out of the oil plug hole when the compactor
is level.
Note: If additional oil is required, use a funnel with a
hose to add the specified oil into the eccentric housing
until the oil level is level with the oil plug hole.

Servicing the Battery ( Model
68075 only)
Checking and Cleaning the Battery
Service Interval: Every 100 hours—Check the battery cable
connections.
Keep the top of the battery clean. If the machine is stored in
a location where temperatures are extremely high, the battery
will discharge more rapidly than if the machine is stored in
a cooler location.
Keep the top of the battery clean by washing it with a brush
dipped in ammonia or a solution of sodium bicarbonate.
Flush the top surface with water after cleaning. Do not
remove the fill cap while cleaning the battery.
The battery cables must be tight on the terminals to provide
good electrical contact.
If corrosion occurs at the battery terminals, disconnect the
cables, negative (-) cable first, and scrape the clamps and
terminals separately. Connect the cables, positive (+) cable
first, and coat the terminals with petroleum jelly.
Charging the Battery
WARNING
Charging the battery produces gases that can
explode, seriously injuring you or bystanders.
Never smoke near the battery, and keep sparks and
flames away from the battery.
Important: Always keep the battery fully charged. This
is especially important to prevent battery damage when
the temperature is below 0°C (32°F).
1. Charge the battery for 10 to 15 minutes at 25 to 30
amps, or 30 minutes at 10 amps.
2. When the battery is fully charged, unplug the charger
from the electrical outlet, and disconnect the charger
leads from the battery posts (Figure 24).
3. Install the battery in the machine and connect the
battery cables; refer to Replacing the Battery (page 18).
Important: Do not run the machine with the
battery disconnected; electrical damage may
occur.
