MTX60SF RAMMER • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (09/15/16) — PAGE 11
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Multiquip MTX60SF tamping rammer is a powerful
compacting tool capable of applying a tremendous force
in consecutive impacts to a soil surface. Its applications
include soil compacting for road, embankments and
reservoirs as well as backfilling for gas pipelines, water
pipelines and cable installation work.
The impact force of the MTX60SF levels and uniformly
compacts voids between soil particles to increase dry
density.
Circular motion is converted to create impact force.
The MTX60SF tamping rammer develops a powerful
compacting force at the foot of the rammer. To maintain
optimum performance, proper operation and service are
essential.
The MTX60SF is equipped with an air cooled, four- cycle
gasoline engine. Transmission of the power takes place
by increasing the engine speed to engage the centrifugal
clutch.
The MTX60SF uses an oil bath lubrication system. Always
check the oil level through the oil level sight glass at the
rear of the tamper foot.
Before starting the MTX60SF Tamping Rammer identify
and understand the function of the controls.

Before starting operation check the lifting
handle to:
1. Make sure that there is no damage on the bolts.
2. Make sure that there is no crack or breakage on
