Key Features
- Genuine OEM Sourcing: — Manufactured by Wacker Neuson to original production tolerances, so the reel seats and engages exactly as the factory-installed component did.
- Drop-In Replacement: — Engineered to the same dimensional spec as the part it replaces, with no modification to mounting points or mating components needed.
- Broad Compaction Equipment Compatibility: — Fits VP1030R and VP40H vibratory plate compactors as well as BS50-4, BS60-4, BS500-4, BS600-4, and MS54 vibratory rammers.
- Consistent Recoil Function: — A properly functioning reel maintains smooth, controlled cord retraction so operators can start the machine quickly and repeatedly without fouling or jamming.
- Backed by Part Number Verification: — Cross-reference your machine's serial plate and parts manual using part number 5000158598 to confirm this is the exact unit your machine requires.
The recoil starter reel is the internal spool that stores and tensions the pull-cord inside the starter housing. When the operator pulls the starter handle, the cord unwinds from the reel, spinning the engine over to initiate combustion; once released, the recoil spring draws the cord back onto the reel and resets it for the next pull. A worn or cracked reel can cause the cord to bind, slip off track, or fail to retract fully — leaving the machine unable to start until the component is replaced.
