7. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prior to starting engine, make sure all guards are in place and secured.
Check Gas engine
The engine (Figure 2) must be checked for proper lubrication and filled
with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the engine manufacturer's manual
for detailed operation and service information.
1. Choke Lever—Normally used in starting the engine in cold weather
conditions. In cold weather, turn the choke lever to the fully closed
position.
In warm weather, set the choke lever halfway or completely open.
2. Spark Plug —Provides spark to the ignition system.
Set spark plug gap to 0.024- 0.028 inch (0.6- 0.7mm).
Clean spark plugs once a week.
3. Muffler —Used to reduce noise and emissions.
4. Dipstick/Oil Filler Cap —Remove this cap to determine if the engine oil is low. Add oil
through this filler port.
5. Oil Drain Plug—Remove this plug to remove oil from the engine's crankcase.
6. Recoil Starter (pull rope) —Manual-starting method. Pull the
starter grip until resistance is felt, then pull briskly and smoothly.
7. Fill the fuel tank with unleaded gasoline. At the same time, check
the engine oil and replenish it often.
OPERATING
1. To start the rammer tamping action, move the throttle lever quickly from
IDLE to the START position. DO NOT move the throttle lever slowly as
this may cause damage to the clutch or spring.
2. This tamping rammer is designed to run at 3,100 to 3,400 RPM. At
optimum rpm the foot hits at the rate between 640-680 impacts per
minute. Increasing throttle speed past factory set rpm does not increase
impacts and may damage unit. Is also designed to advance while tamping.
For faster advance, pull back slightly.
3. To stop the tamping action, move throttle lever quickly from START to
IDLE position by moving the throttle lever from the START to IDLE position
and run the engine for three minutes at lows peed. After the engine cools,
move the throttle lever to the STOP position. The engine will stop and the
fuel cock is automatically closed. If the engine does not stop due to a
problem with the switch or the like, move the machine to a safe location
and hold the throttle lever in the stop position. Let the machine run on idle and the
machine will stop after a few minutes.

3. Remove & clean the spark plug, then adjust the spark gap to 0.024~0.028 inch
(0.6~0.7 mm).
4. Remove the oil drain plug on foot housing and drain the oil. Refill with approximately 0.8 qt.
(0.75 liter) of 10W-30 SE, SF or higher-grade motor oil. Oil should be midway insight glass.
Break-in oil should be changed after first 50 hours.
10.MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
THESE INSPECTION INTERVALS ARE FOR OPERATION UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.
ADJUST YOUR INSPECTION INTERVALS BASED ON THE NUMBER HOURS THIS
