FULL OPEN

position (Figure 9). Operating the

rammer at less than full speeds can result in
damage to the clutch springs or foot

Figure 9. Throttle Lever

2. The MT-60HS Tamping rammer is designed to run at 5,500

rpm. At optimum rpm the foot hits at the rate of 675 impacts
per minute. Increasing throttle speed past factory set rpm
does not increase impacts and may damage unit. The MT-
60HS is designed to advance while tamping. For faster
advance, pull back slightly on the handle so that rear of foot
contacts soil first.

If the carburetor is flooded or the crankcase is loaded with
excess fuel, open the drain plug as shown in (Figure 8) and
drain out excess fuel.
