1. If fuel is low, remove the fuel filler cap (Figure 4) and fill with
only unleaded gasoline. Motor fuels are highly flammable
and can be dangerous if mishandled. DO NOT smoke while
refueling. DO NOT attempt to refuel the pump if the engine
is
hot! or running .

Rammer Gearbox 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 3)
at the rear of the tamper foot.
Figure 3. Foot Housing Sight Glass
2. If oil is not visible, add 10W-30 SE, SF or higher grade motor
oil into the oil fill plug opening (Figure 3). The bath contains
approximately 1.7 pints (800 cc.)
Engine Oil Check
1. This rammer is equipped with a two-cycled gasoline engine.
Use only unleaded gasoline. High test ethyl gasoline is not
recommended.
2. Check the engine oil level at the sight gauge located on the
operator's side of the oil tank (Figure 5). Fill the oil tank to
the "H" level using only outboard (2-stroke) oil. Replenish the
oil regularly before the oil level reaches the "L" level of the
oil tank.
3. Make sure the oil hose is not pinched or squeezed . A sensor
detects lack of oil and shuts down the engine automatically.
4. Remember low levels of engine oil may result in engine
seizure due to high levels of consumption during operation.
Always check oil regularly.
DO NOT USE REGULAR AUTOMOTIVE-TYPE
MOTOR OIL.

The oil level should be kept at the
half way point of the sight glass.
