The Wacker Neuson Operating Lever Complete is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 100-70 and DPU 9070 reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct factory replacement, this lever assembly matches the original part in geometry and material, ensuring the operator control interface works exactly as intended straight out of the box. Confirmed fitment spans multiple DPU configurations, including the DPU 100-70 (10 0kN, 70 cm/28 in) and DPU 9070 platforms. When the operating lever wears or fails, directional control of the plate becomes unpredictable — sourcing the correct OEM assembly restores full, confident machine handling.
Key Features
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Assembly — Manufactured to the same specifications as the original lever, ensuring correct pivot geometry, throw distance, and control feel for a DPU-series reversible plate.
- Complete Lever Assembly — Supplied as a fully assembled unit (cpl.), so all sub-components are matched and ready to install as a single replacement — no sourcing individual hardware separately.
- Confirmed DPU Fitment — Verified for the DPU 100-70 (multiple build configurations) and DPU 9070 reversible vibratory plate compactors.
- Restores Precise Directional Control — The operating lever directly governs forward and reverse travel on the DPU platform; a worn or damaged lever degrades operator response and can cause uncontrolled plate movement during compaction passes.
- Operator Safety Consideration — On a self-propelled reversible plate, loss of lever function affects the operator's ability to stop or redirect the machine — using the correct OEM assembly maintains the intended control response.
The operating lever complete is the primary hand control that the operator uses to direct the reversible vibratory plate forward, backward, and to a neutral stop. On DPU-series machines, this lever connects to the drive and directional system, translating hand input into plate movement — meaning its condition directly affects how accurately and safely the machine responds on the compaction site. A cracked pivot, worn linkage, or broken lever body will cause sluggish, inconsistent, or non-responsive directional control, reducing compaction accuracy and increasing the physical effort required to guide the machine.
