HAZARD SYMBOLS
Potential hazards associated with the operation of a
MTR-40FTamping Rammer will be referenced with Hazard

Gasoline is extremely flammable, and
its vapors can cause an explosion if
ignited. DO NOT start the engine near

Engine components can generate extreme
heat. To prevent burns, DO NOT touch
these areas while the engine is running or
