In the cold season, the oil in the machine will be
thicker, and the resistance of the components
will be much larger, which may cause irregular
motion. Shift the throttle lever from the
operation to the idle position several times and
allow it to warm up sufficiently before starting
actual work.
The surface of the foot in contact with the
ground is a metal sheet that has excellent wear
resistance. However if you need to tamp ground
that contains large stones (about the size of a
fist), first put some fill soil over them so that the
foot will tamp the ground evenly.
The machine body will advance as it jumps. If
you want to move forward faster, push the
handle a little forward to make the machine
body lean a little forward.
To halt work, quickly slide the throttle lever from
the operation position( ) to the idle position
( ). Do not slide the throttle lever slowly
(Fig.8).
Slide the throttle lever from the operation
position( ) to the idle position( ). Run the
engine at low speed for 3 to 5 minutes to cool it
down. Then slide the throttle lever from the idle
position to the stop position. The engine will
stop and the fuel cock is closed automatically.
(Fig.9)
If the engine does not stop due to a problem
with the switch or something similar, take the
machine to a safe location and hold the throttle
lever in the stop position. Let the machine run in
idle and the engine will stop after a few
minutes.
