Failure to understand the operation of the MTX70 Tamping
Rammer could result in severe damage to the unit or
personal injury.
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.
This section is intended to assist the operator with the initial
start-up of the MTX70 Tamping Rammer. It extremely
important that this section be read carefully before attempting
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.
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.

oil into the oil fill plug opening (Figure 2). The bath contains
approximately 1.7 pints (800 cc.)
