OPERATION
RAMMER CRANKCASE AND SPRING CYLINDER
OIL BATH
This unit uses an oil bath lubrication system. Perform the
following:
1. Check the oil level through the oil level sight glass
(Figure 2) at the rear of the tamper foot.
2. If oil is not visible, add 10W-30 SE, SF or higher grade
motor oil into the oil fill plug opening (Figure 2). The
bath contains approximately 1.7 pints (800 cc.)
This section is intended to assist the operator with the ini-
tial start-up of the MTX-60 Tamping Rammer. It is extremely
important that this section be read carefully before attempt-
ing to operate the rammer.
DO NOT use your rammer until this section is thoroughly
understood.
The oil level should be kept at the half
way point of the sight glass.

ENGINE
1. Fill the fuel tank (Figure 3) with unleaded gasoline. At
the same time, check the engine oil and make it a habit
to replenish it often (Figure 4).
2. Low levels of oil may result in engine seizure due to
high levels of consumption during operations.
3. Check the engine oil level and if the engine oil level is
low, it should be refilled. Use the proper motor oil as
suggested in the Table 3 below.
