• Poisoning if the fuel or oil vapour is inhaled.
• Allergies if the fuel or oil spills on the skin.
• Fire and explosion if the fuel and oil is handled near smoking or open fires.
• Do not ingest fuel or inhale fuel vapours and avoid contact with your skin. Wash fuel splashes immediately. If you get fuel in your

Start & Stop Procedure
1. Open the fuel cock.
2. Set the engine switch to the ON position.
3. Set the speed control lever to the STARTING position (Halfway between HIGH and LOW position).
4. Move the choke lever to the CLOSED position.
5. Taking a firm hold of the Operating handle with one hand, grasp the recoil starter handle with the other, Pull the recoil starter
handle until engine resistance is felt, then let starter return.
6. Taking care not to pull the starters rope fully out, pull the starter handle briskly.
7. Repeat until the engine fires.
8. Once the engine fires gradually set the choke lever to the OPEN position.
9. Let the engine run at idle for a few minutes to warm up.
10. After the engine has warmed up, the machine is ready for operation.
11. Move the throttle lever to the high speed ‘H’ position quickly to prevent damage from occuring to the clutch. The ‘Full
Throttle’ position of this machine has been preset at the factory to achieve optimum machine performance.

Lifting
Where it is necessary to use lifting equipemnt to position the RT60, check and confirm that the rubber isolators on the operation handle
is not damaged or cracked. If they are cracked or damaged, replace the rubber isolators before attempting to lift the machine. Also
make sure that the lifting equipment has a WLL (Working Load Limit) suitable for the RT60’s weight (See specification chart or the
machine number plate). Attach suitable chains or slings ONLY to the lifting point on top of the RT60’s operating handle.
• NEVER leave the engine running whilst transporting or moving the RT60, even if it is only a short distance.
• The height of the operating handle can be adjusted within the range of 850 ~ 880 mm. Loosen three bolts at each side of the
operating handles base, and retighten them at the desired handle height. Note, that when the handle is set too high,
excessive vibration may be transmitted through the handle.
Having carried out the checks listed in the ‘pre-start’ section, you may start the engine.
The Belle Group RT60 range of tampers are fitted with a centrifugal clutch, thisallows 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.
• 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.
• Make certain 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 the unsatisfactory
compaction due to the fact that the jumping action is hindered.
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 lay 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 difficulties. 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 en-
gine. However, if the engine is still hot, spilt fuel on the engine may cause fire. Lay the machine after the machine is completely cooled.
The machine fitted with the transporting roller on the operating handle may be easily loaded to and unloaded from a vehicle. Tilt the
machine forwards until the transporting roller touches the floor 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 firmly, and
placed in an upright position if at all possible. To unload the machine, tilt the machine forward, until the roller touches the floor. 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.

Maintenance
The Belle Group RT60 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 Belle Group dealer carries out all major maintenance and repairs. Always use genuine Belle Group
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 RT60 on level ground to ensure any fluid levels will be correctly read. Only use recommended oils (see chart).
Servicing the Engine
Service the engine according to the engine manufacturer’s specifications. Refer to the engine operation and maintenance manual.
Maintenance : Every 8 hours or daily.
1. Check for loose bolt and nuts, retighten if necessary.
2. Check and clean air filter element, re-lube the element
according to the engine manufacturer’s recommendations. If
operating conditions are unusually dusty and severe, filter
element cleaning should be done more frequently.
3. Check oil level in crankcase of engine and replenish as
necessary. Check oil level in the ramming cylinder as per
following procedures.
- Make sure that the machine has not been run in the last 10
minutes.
- Set the machine on a level surface and remove the oil plug.
- The top surface of the oil must be seen just below the lower rim of
the hole for oil plug. Replenish as necessary.
NOTICE: Care should be taken not to overfill the ramming cylinder with oil. Overfilling will cause excessive load on the engine, which
may result in poor or irregular vibration.
Maintenance : First 20 hours of operation
1. Replace the Oil in the Ramming Cylinder
Maintenance : Every 50 hours or weekly
2. Check for loose bolts and nuts. Retighten if necessary.
Maintenance : Every 200 Hours.
3. Change the ramming cylinder oil. Do not overfill.

Long Term Storage
For long term storage, empty the fuel in the carburettor by running the engine with the fuel tap being closed.
The chemical composition of fuel will deteriorate after prolonged storage. When the machine needs to be
stored for a long time, remove all fuel from the fuel tank. Also remove the fuel from the float chamber of the
carburettor by draining the fuel out from the drain plug (see diagram).
Clean up oil and dust accumulation on rubber parts.
Clean the base plate and apply a light coating of oil to prevent rust formation.
Cover the machine and store in a dry place.
