Tamping Rammer is a compacng machine, capable of quickly working by applying consecuve impacts to the surface of soil-in order to level the uneven
soil surface, to compact the soil uniformly so that the void among soil parcles are minimized and to increase its dry density with moisture in the soil
removed. Rammers are designed to compact loose soils and gravel to prevent seling and to provide a firm, solid base for the placement of foongs,
concrete slabs, foundaons, gas piping works, water pipe works and cable backfill works, etc.
• NEVER allow improperly trained personnel to operate rammer.
• ALWAYS read, understand, and follow procedures in Operator’s Manual before aempng to operate equipment.
• ALWAYS be sure operator is familiar with proper safety precauons and operaon techniques before using rammer.

• ALWAYS be sure that all other persons are at a safe distance from the rammer. Stop the machine if people step into the working area of the
machine.
• ALWAYS guide the rammer in such a way that the operator is not squeezed between the rammer and solid objects. Special care is required
when working on uneven ground or when compacng coarse material. Make sure to stand firmly when operang the machine under such
condions.
• NEVER leave a running machine unaended.
•ALWAYS operate the rammer in such a way that there is no danger of it turning over or falling in, when working near the edges of breaks,
pits, slopes, trenches and plaorms.
•NEVER run machine indoors or in an enclosed area such as a deep trench unless adequate venlaon is provided. Exhaust gas from the
engine contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas, exposure to carbon monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.
• NEVER ingest fuel or inhale your vapors, and avoid contact with the skin. In case of contact with skin, wash affected surface immediately. If
the fuel comes into contact with the operator's eyes, wash immediately with water and seek medical aenon as soon as possible.
• ALWAYS wear protecve clothing when operang rammer. Wear goggles or safety glasses, hearing protecon, and safety shoes.
• ALWAYS keep hands, feet, and loose clothing away from moving parts of rammer.
• ALWAYS use mask during compacon operaons, fuel tank replenishment and cleaning.
• Before starng compacon of trenches, ensure that the walls will not collapse due to vibraon.
• Check that the area to be compacted does not contain live electrical lines or gas, water or communicaon services that may suffer damage
due to vibraon.

Working Operaon
• This equipment can only be used for its proper applicaon and by trained
operators.
• Owners of this equipment must train and recommend safety instrucons
in accordance with local laws.
• Use suitable equipment to li the product.
• Keep people and animals away from the equipment during use.
• Never allow a person to be used as a weight for this equipment.
•This equipment has been designed to eliminate any risk of accident.
However, risks will always exist and could cause accidents and even death
from improper use. If the operator is at risk, the equipment must be shut
down immediately and the supervisor or responsible person takes steps to
eliminate these risks. It is necessary to inform the manufacturer of any risk
event or accident with the equipment.
Before starng the operaon:
1 - Analyze if there are signs or defects present in the equipment.
2 - Inspect hoses, openings, drains and other areas for leaks.
3 - Check the oil levels and all lubricaon systems on the machine.
4 - Fill the fuel tank with regular gasoline (unleaded). Simultaneously, check
engine oil and make it a habit to replenish on the earlier side. Low lubrica-
on oil level may result in engine seizure due to consumpon during
operaon. Nevertheless, oil level should be checked prior to start up
without fail.For lubricaon, use automobile engine oil of 10W-30 SE, SF or
beer grade.
5 - Check that the air filter is clean. Excessive dust in the filter will prevent
the engine from operang under normal condions and will damage the
engine.
6 - Check every bolt, nut or screwed area for ghtness. Loosened due to
vibraon may result inunexpectedly serious trouble. Be sure to ghten any
screwed area.
7 - Remove dirt and dust. Parcularly clean the vicinity of recoil starter and
foot.
Starng the engine:
1 - Open the fuel shut-off valve by moving the fuel cock level to the open
posion.
2 - Set the engine ON/OFF switch to the “ON” posion.
3 - Grip the recoil starter handle and pull it unl you feel slight resistance.
Then pull sharply and quickly. Return the recoil starter handle to the starter
case before releasing. To release the handle do not release it at the posion
where it has been pulled to, but release it aer returning closely to the
starter case.
4 - If the engine has started, while listening to explosion sounds, return the
choke lever slowly to full-open posion. Be sure to perform a warm-up run
for the period 3 to 5 minutes at low speed, while paying careful aenon to
gas leakage or abnormal sound.
5 -If it is difficult to start the engine by repeatedly pulling the starter rope,
remove ignion plug and check the sparking performance. If the plug is wet
due to excessive fuel intake or soiled, replace the coil or clean sufficiently to
its internals. With the ignion plug removed, pull the recoil starter handle
2-3 mes to discharge excessive blended gas.

07
Starng up for Equipment
1 - Turning the choke level to open the choke. Running the engine for 5 minutes at low speed to warm the engine.
2 - Move the throle level quickly to the “FULL OPEN” posion. DO NOT move the throle level slowly as this may cause damage to the clutch or spring.
CAUTION: Operang the rammer at less than full speeds can result in damage to the clutch springs or foot.
3 - Aer starng to tamping acon, adjusts the jumping moon to suit parcular soil condion by lightly controlling the throle lever. When the engine
speed falls between the set values shown on the engine, your work can be carried out at the best efficiently. Increasing the engine speed unnecessarily,
does not cause the compacon force to increase. On the contrary, a resultant resonance causes the compacon force to decrease, damaging the machine.
4 - Under cold weather, the oil in the machine being viscous, resistance at reciprocang part is greater causing the tamping rammer to perform somewhat
irregular movement. Therefore, it is recommended to perform warm-up run while moving the throle lever repeatedly between ON and OFF posions,
before entering the work.
5 - Soil contacng surface of the foot is lined with heat-treated metal sheet for extra strength. However, for compacng cobblestone, use the filling-up soil
for example so that the foot hits the soil uniformly.
6 - The tamping rammer has been designed to advance while jumping. For quicker advance, erect the machine by pushing its handle down slightly so that
flat surface of the foot at its rear-end contacts the ground.
Turning the Equipment Off
1. With the throle lever closed from ON to OFF, run the engine for 3-5 minutes at low speed, and aer temperature is lowered, turn the switch to the
“OFF” posion.
2. Close the fuel shut-off valve by moving the fuel cock lever to the CLOSED posion.
Emergency shutdown:
1 - Move the throle lever quickly to the IDLE posion, and turn the engine ON/OFF switch to the “OFF” posion.

08
Transportaon
1 - Shutdown engine for transportaon.
2 - For transportaon, ghten fuel tank cap securely and close fuel cock to
prevent fuel from spilling.
3. Drain fuel for transportaon over long distance or bad road.
4. Secure machine firmly to prevent it from moving or pping.
5. Rammer should be transported in such posion as it is placed on level
ground.
6. Make sure liing device has enough capacity to hold machine (see idenfi-
caon plate on machine for weight). Use central liing point when liing
machine.
Rammer should be stored in such posion as it is placed on level, aer engine
and machine have been cooled down. Be sure to secure the rammer as
necessary to avoid falling down. If the rammer has to be laid down inevitably,
ghten fuel tank cap and engine oil plug securely and wait unl engine and
machine are cooled down. Aer laying it down, make sure that there is no
leak of fuel or oil. (If fuel leaks, drain the tank).
Long-Term Storage
• Drain fuel from fuel tank, fuel line and carburetor.
• Remove spark plug and pour a few drops of motor oil into cylinder. Crank
engine 3 to 4 mes so that oil reaches all internal parts.
• Clean exterior with a cloth soaked in clean oil.
• Store unit covered with plasc sheet in moisture free and dust free locaon
out of direct sunlight.
Cleaning
Cleaning the RAM 65H engine air filter (Honda GXR120 engine)
1 - Remove the two screws and the air filter cover. Then, remove the air filter
element (foam).
2 - Remove the paper air filter from the engine.
3 - Inspect the element and the paper air filter and inspect if necessary.
Replace the filters regularly according to the engine manufacturer's specifi-
caon (as per the engine instrucon manual).
4 - Cleaning the air filters:
a) Air filter element: Clean with soap and water. Rinse and allow to dry
completely. Or, clean with non-flammable solvent and let it dry. Do not put
oil on that air filter element.
b) Air filter (paper): Tap the filter on a hard surface unl all the dust comes
out. Or, use compressed air at a maximum pressure of 207kPa (2.1 kgf/cm or
30psi). Never brush the filter.
5 - Clean the dirt from the inside of the air filter box and cover it with a damp
cloth. Be careful to prevent dirt from entering the air duct leading to the
carburetor. Aer that, reassemble the air filter.
