Stopping The Engine
Normal Shutdown
1. Move throttle lever quickly from the FULL OPEN to IDLE
position (Figure 13 ) and run the engine for three minutes at
low speed.
2. The MT-62HS Tamping rammer is designed to run at 3,850
rpm. At optimum rpm the foot hits at the rate of 600~690
impacts per minute. Increasing throttle speed past factory
set rpm does not increase impacts and may damage unit. The
MT-62HS is designed to advance while tamping. For faster
advance, pull back slightly on the handle so that rear of foot
contacts soil first.
Operation
1. To start the rammer tamping action, move the throttle lever
(Figure 12) quickly from IDLE (close) to the FULL OPEN
position. DO NOT move the throttle lever slowly as this may
cause damage to the clutch or spring.
