How do I change the oil in my ENAR compaction equipment?
Maintenance is essential to ensure your machine lasts. Although we provide some general steps here, always check the manual for your ENAR model to see which oils to use and how often.
Engine: Start the engine for a couple of minutes to warm up the oil and make it flow better. Place the machine on a flat surface, remove the drain plug and filler cap, and allow all the oil to drain into a tray. Then, replace the drain plug and refill with the oil specified by the manufacturer (usually SAE 10W-30) up to the dipstick mark.
Vibrator: Locate the cap on the vibrator compartment. Remove it to drain the old oil and refill with the specific oil indicated in the manual until it starts to overflow from the same hole.
