NOTICE: The optimum maximum engine revolution has been set at the factory as follows:
The Max RPM, as shown above is the number of ignitions per minute. The Honda GX120 engine for RTX66 and RTX74 have the fi nal
gears at the ration of 17/16, and the number of ignitions per minute is different from the number of rotations of the engines Power
Take-Off Shaft.
DO NOT alter this setting since irregular vibration or damage to the gear transmission mechanism can
result, and both engine and machine warranties will be automatically voided.

Operation
GB
Lifting
Where it is necessary to use lifting equipemnt to position the RTX, check and confi rm that the rubber mounts on the operation
handle are not damaged or cracked. If they are damaged or cracked, replace the rubber mounts before attempting to lift the machine.
Also make sure that the lifting equipment has a WLL (Working Load Limit) suitable for the RTX’s weight (See specifi cation chart or the
machine Serial Plate). Attach suitable chains or slings ONLY to the lifting point on top of the RTX’s operating handle.
•NEVER leave the engine running whilst transporting or moving the RTX’s, even if it is only a short distance.
Once the checks listed in the ‘Pre-Start’ section have been carried out, you may start the engine.
The Altrad Belle RTX range of tampers are fi tted with a centrifugal clutch, this allows the engine to run at idle without driving the crank
mechanism. As the engine speed is increased the clutch will engage and the engine will drive the crank mechanism.
• To avoid damage to the centrifugal clutch, move the throttle lever quickly from the L to H position.
For correct operation, the engine speed should be set to maximum.
CAUTION
• Avoid operating the machine on a fully compacted, hard, or non-yielding surface. Otherwise, the gear transmission mechanism
will be damaged, and the life of the machine will be greatly reduced.
• When working in a narrow trench, if the ramming shoe should get caught between the walls of the trench, the rammer may
miss-strike and can be severly damaged. The ramming shoe may especially be damaged severely.
• Ensure that the rammer is steered only by using the handle grip. It should only be pushed. The rammer must not be pressed
into the materials being compacted. Excessive pressure on the operating handle will lead to unsatisfactory compaction due to
the fact that the jumping action is reduced.
Transportation.
When transporting or storing the machine, place the machine in an upright position if at all possible. Should the machine be required
to be laid down, NEVER attempt to transport the machine in a manner that the air cleaner faces downwards. Otherwise, the oil in the
cylinder may get into the combustion chamber or in the air cleaner, which may result in starting diffi culties. Laying the machine forwards
(The crankcase cover of the rammer facing downwards) may not cause any spill of the engine oil into the cylinder or air cleaner of the
engine. However, if the engine is still hot, spilt fuel on the engine may cause fi re. Lay the machine after the machine is completely
cooled.
The machine fi tted with the transporting roller on the operating handle may be easily loaded and unloaded from a vehicle. Tilt the
machine forwards until the transporting roller touches the fl oor of the vehicle. Lift the lower part of the machine using the grab handle
provided at the ramming shoe, and push forward to load the machine. During transportation, the machine should be tied fi rmly, and
placed in an upright position if at all possible. To unload the machine, tilt the machine forward, until the roller touches the fl oor. Slightly
lift the lower part of the machine, and pull the machine out.
Operation at High Altitude
For continuous High-Altitude operation above 1,000m (3,000FT), it will be necessary to change the engine main jet to a type that will
allow for correct fueling of the engine. Otherwise, the unit will suffer from a lack of engine power and not work correctly (Petrol Only)

Maintenance
The Altrad Belle RTX Range is designed to give many years of trouble free operation. It is, however, important that the simple regular
maintenance listed in this section is carried out.
It is recommended that an approved Altrad Belle dealer carries out all major maintenance and repairs. Always use genuine Altrad Belle
replacement parts, the use of spurious parts may void your warranty.
Before any maintenance is carried out on the machine, switch off the engine. If working on a petrol engined machine, disconnect the
HT lead from the sparkplug.
Always set the RTX on level ground to ensure any fl uid levels will be correctly read. Only use recommended oils (see chart).
Servicing the Engine
Service the engine according to the engine manufacturer’s specifi cations. Refer to the engine operation and maintenance manual.
