INSPECTION PRIOR TO OPERATION
Check Engine Oil
Before checking or refilling engine oil, be sure the upright
rammer is located on a stable level surface.
Do not thread the gauge into oil filler to check oil level. If the oil
level is below the lower level line on the dipstick, refill with the
proper oil to the upper level (to the neck of oil filler). See
SECTION – MAINTENANCE, “50 HOUR OR WEEKLY
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE”.
Check Engine for Fuel
CAUTION
Do not refuel while smoking near an open flame or other
potential hazards.
Cleaning Air Cleaner
Check Air Cleaner to be sure it is clean and not comtaminated.
If it needs cleaned perform the following steps:
• Take out the outer urethane foam and inner element.
• Wash the element in kerosene or diesel fuel.
• Saturate it in a mixture of 3 parts kerosene or diesel fuel and
1 part engine oil.
• Shake off excessive oil and reinstall.
• Wash the air cleaner case using kerosene.
• After cleaning it up, apply engine oil on the inner part of the
case.
CAUTION
If the air cleaner element is seriously contaminated engine
start up may fail or poor output and malfunctions of the
engine may result.
Check each part for lose or broken Bolts and Nuts
Tighten loose Bolts and Nuts, if any. Check each part for fuel or
oil leak. Replace broken or damaged parts, if any, with new
ones.
Lubrication of Main Body
Check the Main Body oil level with the oil gauge before each
operation. Change oil after the first 50 hours and every
