Multiquip 01628900 MVH Rope

The Multiquip 01628900 MVH Rope is a genuine OEM replacement designed for MVH408DZ and MVH308DZ reversible plate compactors. Sourced directly through Multiquip's authorized parts network, this rope is built to the same specification as the original component fitted at the factory. If your compactor's rope has frayed, snapped, or worn through, part number 01628900 is the correct direct replacement to restore reliable pull-start operation on your MVH series machine.

Key Features

• OEM Material Match — Manufactured to the original diameter, length, and tensile rating specified for the MVH pull-start system, ensuring the rope seats and feeds correctly through the starter housing.
• Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to connect directly to the existing recoil starter assembly on MVH series compactors without any modification to the housing or handle hardware.
• Confirmed MVH Series Fitment — Verified for MVH408DZ and MVH308DZ heavy-duty reversible plate compactors.
• Consistent Start Performance — A worn or snapped rope makes the machine impossible to start manually; replacing it with the correct OEM rope restores full pull-stroke engagement with the recoil mechanism.
• Genuine Multiquip Part — Sold by DHS Equipment as an authorized Multiquip OEM component, backed by the confidence of an official parts supply chain.

The MVH Rope is the pull cord that connects the operator's handle grip to the recoil starter mechanism inside the compactor's engine housing. When the rope is pulled, it engages the starter spindle and cranks the engine; the recoil spring then draws the cord back into position ready for the next pull. Over time, repeated use causes the rope to fray or snap entirely, leaving the machine unable to start. Replacing the rope promptly with the correct OEM part keeps the recoil starter functioning as intended and avoids unnecessary wear on the surrounding starter components.
