I just took delivery of one and I was worried about that sticker. With the chinglesh on it, it makes me think they didn't oil that gearbox and that it needs to be filled. Nothing in the manual about it though. I can't figure out what 'Packing Plug' they're talking about if it's not the oil plug?
@GarageMahalLife I have had mine for about 6 months now. I've used it a bunch. What I have found is that there is a small breather hole on the shaft of the vibrating head. If the motor stops after use where that hole is facing down, it will leak oil! So every now and then I will double check the oil level. It's a strange thing. Don't know if I'm doing it right, but my compactor kicks butt and I love it!

I mean it hasn't given me any issues and I worked the heck out of it so far. Oil level seems stable...
