Before lifting the machine, make sure that there is no damage to any of the components on
the machine (look especially for damage to the rubber mounts and the hook). There must
not be any loose or missing screws and the machine must generally be in a safe condition.
Turn the engine off before lifting the machine.
Use wire cables with enough strength to support the machine.
DO NOT
lift it higher than necessary, for safety.
DO NOT
use a damaged wire cable.
When using any type of equipment to lift the machine, be careful that the lifting equipment
does not cause an accident. Make sure you check the lifting equipment carefully, to ensure
that there are no problems or damage.
When transporting
Before transporting the machine, stop the engine.
Secure the machine body so that the machine cannot move or fall during transportation.
When you want to lift the machine by gripping the handle, be careful not to pinch your
fingers or hands between the handle and the main body.
Since this machine is quite heavy, use a truck specifically designed to transport heavy
objects.
When storing the machine
After the engine and machine body have cooled down enough, store the rammer so that it is
level. Fasten the machine as needed so that the machine cannot fall down. If you must lay
the machine down, close the fuel tank cap and oil fill plug securely. Arrange the machine
position so that the carburetor will be facing up. After it lays down, make sure there are no
oil or fuel leaks. (If fuel is leaking, drain it all from the fuel tank.)
Appropriate maintenance of the machine is required to ensure safety and keep the machine
performing well. Always be aware of the machine's condition and keep it in good condition.

Only use the single hook to lift the machine.
DO NOT
support it from any other
points (such as the handle).
Never lift or lower the machine rapidly when using a hydraulic shovel or a crane.
When lifting the machine, do not allow any people or animals to pass under or
near the machine.
DO NOT
try to move it before the engine and machine body have
cooled down enough.
Drain any fuel before transporting the machine.
Transport the rammer in a manner that keeps it level. If you must
lay the machine down to transport it, drain any fuel from the fuel
tank and carburetor. Then close the fuel tank cap and oil fill plug
securely. Next, position the machine so that the air cleaner will be
facing up.
Take the utmost care not to allow the machine to fall during work, or when
stopped or stored. Secure the machine with a rope or similar tie when stored or
left idle so that it cannot fall. If the rammer falls over when children are around,
a serious accident may occur. If the machine foot is worn, the machine will be
especially unstable. If the machine foot is worn badly, replace it with a new one.
