To assemble the sand rammer (Figure 1):
1. Make sure mating surfaces are clean before
assembling.
2. Floor models only: Screw pipe (A) into
cylinder (B). Install handle assembly (C) onto
opposite end of pipe.
3. All models: Press butt (D) onto piston.
Operation
The sand rammer must be
properly lubricated before operation. See
“Lubrication” section.
1. Remove protective cap from air inlet (Figure
1). If an in-line oiler is not being used, add 4
or 5 drops of air tool oil (not included) into the
air inlet.
2. Blow out air line to remove any dirt or
moisture, then connect air supply to
threaded inlet on top of handle (F). Set air
pressure to 90 psi.
IMPORTANT: A fitting for a quick-connect
coupling is provided. However, due to the
vibration/impact nature of the sand rammer,
it is recommended that a shock-resistant
threaded fitting be used directly on the tool.
Add a leader hose and install any quick-
change couplings farther down the line.
3. Assume balanced position with your feet
clear of the butt.
4. Position hands as shown in Figure 1, with
palm against on/off lever, and other hand on
pipe (floor model) or cylinder (bench model).
Figure 1
5. Slightly press butt of sand rammer against
working surface.
6. Press throttle lever in toward handle to start
tool. Release throttle lever to stop. The catch
(F) atop the handle can be flipped down to
keep lever in ON position.
Important: Do NOT raise air pressure above
maximum rating for this sand rammer. If tool
is not accomplishing task at maximum air
pressure and flow, use a larger tool or
different means to achieve task.
