4.3 Position of the Operator
For optimal control, performance, and minimal hand/arm vibration
follow the guidelines below when using the machine.
• Grasp the handle with both hands as shown.
• Run the rammer at full throttle.
• Walk behind the rammer.
• Use the handle to guide the rammer’s direction of travel. Allow
the rammer to pull itself forward. Do not try to overpower the
rammer.
• If you need to lift the rammer while operating, position the throttle
in the SLOW position. Position the rammer as needed then,
continue operation with the throttle in the FAST position.
For best compaction and shoe wear, the shoe must hit the ground flat
(b)
, not on its toe or heel.
If the rammer should tip on its side during operation, place the
rammer in the position shown

and shut off the engine.
Hand/Arm Vibration (HAV) has been opti-
mized for the hand position shown.
