2. The rammer should be greased with three shots of grease
after each eight (8) hours of use.
3. Use MQ HIGH TEMPERATURE GREASE, P/N GRS2
or its
equivalent.
4. Equivalent greases include Shell Darina or Texaco
Thermatex, both of which have a bentone base and EP-2
rating.
5. If an inferior grease is used, it may become too thick or too thin
due to changes in temperature, and improper lubrication
could result.
Prior to Operation
1. When transporting the machine, carry it by the grip handle
located on the body (Figure 3).

Use only unleaded gasoline. High test ethyl gasoline
is not
recommended.
2. If fuel is low, remove the fuel filler cap (Figure 4) and fill with

Engine Oil Check
1. Check the engine oil level at the sight gauge located on the
operator's side of the
oil tank
(Figure 5). Fill the oil tank to
the "
H
" level using only outboard (2-stroke) oil. Replenish the
oil regularly before the oil level reaches the "
L
" level of the
oil tank.
2. Make sure the oil hose is not pinched or squeezed . A sensor
detects lack of oil and shuts down the engine automatically.
3. Remember low levels of engine oil may result in engine
seizure due to high levels of consumption during operation.
Always check oil regularly.
