The Wacker Neuson Starting Jaw is a genuine OEM component designed for the RD7 series walk-behind tandem rollers and the DPU 4045H, DPU 4545H, DPU 5045H, DPU 5545H, DPU 6055, and DPU 6555H reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct factory replacement, part ships to spec and installs without modification to the recoil or manual starting assembly. This genuine Wacker Neuson part ensures the engagement between the starter rope mechanism and the engine crankshaft is restored to its original operating condition, keeping your equipment ready to start reliably every time.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Engagement Geometry — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original jaw profile, ensuring proper grip and release during the pull-start stroke without slipping or misfiring.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting interface on the recoil starter assembly; slots in place of the worn jaw with no drilling or adapting required.
- Broad Fitment Across Two Equipment Families — Compatible with RD7 walk-behind tandem rollers and the full DPU 4045H through DPU 6555H reversible vibratory plate compactor range, covering a wide fleet with a single part number.
- Restores Clean Engine Engagement — A worn or cracked starting jaw causes the starter mechanism to spin without catching the flywheel, resulting in a no-start condition; replacing it restores immediate, positive engine engagement.
- Durable Construction for Repeated Pull-Start Cycles — Built to withstand the repetitive high-impact loading of manual starting across demanding compaction applications on soil, aggregate, and asphalt.
The starting jaw is the catch component within the recoil starter assembly that engages the engine's flywheel or crankshaft hub when the starter rope is pulled, transferring rotational force to crank the engine. When the rope is released, the jaw disengages, allowing the engine to run freely without back-driving the starter. Over time, the jaw teeth wear down or the part cracks under the repeated shock loads of pull-starting, resulting in the starter spinning freely without turning the engine — a frustrating no-start condition in the field. Replacing the 5000097419 Starting Jaw with a genuine Wacker Neuson part restores full starting function to your RD7 roller or DPU series vibratory plate compactor.
