The Wacker Neuson Operating Lever Complete is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 7060 and DPU 7060RC reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct OEM replacement sourced through authorized Wacker Neuson channels, this assembly meets the same standards as the original hardware installed at the factory. Fitment covers both the standard DPU 7060 and the remote-controlled DPU 7060RC variants, making it the correct choice for either machine configuration. Confirm your machine number against part number before ordering to ensure a proper match.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Manufactured to the original lever geometry and material spec, ensuring correct travel, engagement feel, and load tolerance for heavy-duty reversible plate operation.
- Complete Assembly: — Supplied as a full Operating Lever Complete unit, so all lever components arrive together ready for a straightforward swap-out during service.
- Confirmed Fitment: — Verified for the DPU 7060 (70 kN, 60 cm/24 in) and DPU 7060RC (70 kN, remote-controlled) reversible vibratory plate compactors.
- Directional Control Integrity: — A correctly functioning operating lever gives the operator precise forward and reverse direction control; a worn or damaged lever can cause erratic plate movement and loss of compaction accuracy.
- Operator Safety Relevance: — On a high-force reversible plate, the operating lever is the primary directional input — using a properly rated OEM assembly ensures the control response remains predictable under full working load.
The operating lever on a reversible vibratory plate compactor is the main mechanical input that controls the direction of plate travel — shifting between forward and reverse by adjusting the exciter assembly inside the machine. On a high-output unit like the DPU 7060, this lever handles significant mechanical feedback during operation, and wear or damage to the assembly can result in sluggish response, unintended direction changes, or loss of operator control. Replacing a worn lever complete with a genuine OEM unit restores the original control feel and keeps the machine performing as intended across soil and aggregate compaction applications.
