All 202 pages of this Wacker Neuson DPU 5545 repair manual PDF (OEM #510005945/02) cover the DPU 5545, DPU 5045H, DPU 5045H 750-wide, and manual-start variants of these vibratory plates. Inside: disassembly and assembly procedures, exploded views, and a complete HAV drawbar rebuild sequence covering center pole head, Bowden cable routing, and battery box wiring harness. You also get wiring diagrams with socket-plug and multifuse overcurrent switch detail, a fault diagnosis chart for hydraulic oil loss and no-start conditions, plus tightening torque tables for both metric and imperial fasteners. Replace your V-belt when the width drops below 15.5 mm; the rotary shaft seal packing calls for Alvania R 2 grease between the dust excluder and sealing lip. Your plate is down. Get the factory answer, not a forum guess. Bookmarked and searchable; pull it up on your phone and start wrenching.

Wacker Neuson DPU 5545, DPU 5045H, 5045H - 750 wide, 5045H - manual start Common Problems This Manual Covers
Wacker Neuson DPU 5545 will not vibrate or compaction force feels very weak under load p. 195
Drain the exciter housing and inspect for metal shavings. Refill with fresh exciter oil to the correct level as shown on page 195. If the plate still refuses to vibrate, pull the exciter shafts and inspect the deep groove ball bearings for excessive play.
Manual Section: 19 MaintenanceMachine loses travel power, hesitates, or will not move forward and reverse properly p. 42
Remove the belt guard and measure the drive belt across its widest point. Replace the V-belt if the width measures less than 15.5 mm. Check the clutch components on page 42 for heavy grooving or glazing before installing the new belt.
Manual Section: Clutch and V-belt RepairElectric start system fails to crank the engine or turns over very slowly in cold weather p. 27
Clean the battery terminals and verify the voltage reads at least 12 V. Tighten the connections as noted on page 27. Inspect the rubber battery buffers and replace them using a flathead screwdriver if they show signs of cracking.
Manual Section: 6 Disassembly / assemblyHeavy oil leakage pouring from the exciter housing or rotary shaft seal area p. 92
Remove the defective rotary shaft seal using a suitable puller. Install the new seal with a manual press. Pack the space between the dust excluder lip and sealing lip with Alvania R 2 grease per page 92. Refer to the tightening torque table on page 200 for the correct M10 socket-head screw values.
Manual Section: Exciter Shafts RepairFrequently Asked Questions
What are the torque specs for Wacker Neuson DPU 5545 vibration plate bolts?
The manual provides detailed tightening torques for various bolts on the vibratory plate. For example, an M10 socket-head screw requires a tightening torque of 83 Nm (61 ft lb), while an M16 screw requires 355 Nm (262 ft lb). Specific values are listed in tables based on bolt size and type.
Why won't a Wacker Neuson DPU 5045H start after refueling?
If the Wacker Neuson DPU 5045H does not start after refueling, it might be due to an inefficient engine oil supply or the fuel tank running dry. You need to fill the fuel tank, check the lubricant level, and activate the mechanical oil pressure control by depressing hand lever "1" for approximately 5 seconds.
