Transportation and storage precautions
DANGER
！
When transporting
Before transporting the machine, stop the engine.
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 carburetor will be facing up.
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.
After performing any maintenance, check the condition of the safety components and the
general safety of the machine. In particular, check the nuts and bolts thoroughly.
If you have to disassemble any components on the machine, be sure to refer the
maintenance standard sheets and always work safely.
