Initial Start-up
When starting the MT-60H/H2 Tamping Rammer perform the
following:
1. Open the fuel shut- off valve by moving the fuel cock lever
to the open position (Figure 5).
5. When the engine starts, move the choke lever slowly to the
"FULL OPEN" position. Warm up the engine by running at
low speed for three to five minutes, check for gas leakage or
abnormal sounds.
6. If the engine does not start after repeated attempts,
check the spark plug for excess fuel. Clean and replace
the spark plug as needed, then move the choke lever
(Figure 7) to the half open position to avoid flooding and
repeat steps 1 thru 5.
4. Grip the recoil starter (Figure 8 ) handle and pull it until you
feel a slight resistance. Then pull sharply and quickly. Return
the recoil starter handle to the starter case before releasing.
