Wacker Compactor Plate VP1550W (2007) V-Belt Replacement

소개

If your plate compactor isn’t vibrating but the engine is running fine, a great place to start is by inspecting the V-belt and replacing it if damaged. It is also good practice to inspect the V-belt regularly and to keep the V-belt housing clean in order to reduce wear and prevent the tool from failing when it is needed.

This guide is the same as “Wacker Plate Compactor VP1430AWAH 103 V-Belt Replacement,” as both machines are completely identical except for the size of the plate.
