Wacker Neuson WPU1550A-US Vibratory Plates Parts Manual

On a plate compactor like the WPU1550A‑US, you’re working in dust, mud, and crushed stone all day, and parts get beaten up—exciter housings, baseplates, belts, handles, all of it. This parts manual is what I use to match what’s in my hands on the bench to the correct Wacker naming and part number. Say the unit comes in with a bent baseplate and a leaking exciter: I’ll open this manual, trace the assembly breakdown, and verify exactly which baseplate version and exciter components belong to that US model so we don’t order the wrong hardware.

Applications & Use Cases

• Confirm part identity during teardown by matching the illustrated assemblies to what you’ve removed.
• Differentiate similar components (bolts, bushings, rubber mounts) so you don’t mix non‑interchangeable pieces.
• Cross‑check model‑specific parts for the WPU1550A‑US before placing an order with the dealer.
• Verify subcomponent relationships when reassembling, ensuring brackets, guards, and covers go back in the right sequence.
• Document what was changed on a repair order by recording precise part descriptions and numbers.
