5. Operation
5-1. Move the throttle lever quickly from the IDLE to OPERATION
position to start tamping action. DO NOT move the throttle lever
slowly as this may cause damage to the clutch or spring box.
5-2. The tamping rammer is designed to tamp the ground 700
times per minute at an engine speed of 3,300 rpm. Increasing
the engine speed above the recommended rpm will not increase
the rammer effectiveness. Impact will actually decrease because
a resonance is created rather than a tamping effect, and damage
to the unit can result.
5-3. The rammer can be warmed by quickly moving the throttle
lever from the OPERATION to the IDLE position several times
until the rammer operates smoothly.
5-4. The tamping rammer is designed to travel forward while
tamping. To increase travel speed, pull back slightly on the
handle so that the rear of the foot contacts the soil first.
5-5. To stop tamping, quickly move the throttle lever from the
OPERATION to IDLE position. Do not move the lever slowly as
irregular action and damage may result.
6. Stopping the Engine
6-1. Move throttle lever quickly from idle to STOP while pressing
the throttle lever button. Run the engine for three minutes at idle
speed to allow for proper cool down. Following the above
procedures will prevent improper cylinder lubrication caused
by a overheated engine. (Fig. 6)
7. Service
CAUTION:
Flammable Liquid: When refueling, stop engine and allow it
to cool.. Do no smoke or allow work to be
performed in the immediate area. Fire or
explosion could result from flames or sparks,
or if fuel is spilled on a hot engine.
Moving Parts: Shut down the engine before
performing service or maintenance functions.
Contact with moving parts can cause serious injury.
High Temperatures: Allow machine and engine to cool before
performing service or maintenance functions. Contact with hot
components can cause serious burns.
