Operating
NOTICE
During operation, the engine must always
work at full throttle (working mode).
NOTICE
When operating in narrow trenches, there
is a risk of the rammer leg fastening between the
trench walls. The rammer can then miss-strike and
become damaged. The rammer shoe in particular
could be severely damaged. When operating in
trenches, make sure that they are wide enough
before starting.
♦
Operate the rammer on a level surface.
♦
Never operate on hard surfaces (solid rock,
hardened concrete etc).
♦
Steer the machine with the handle.
♦
Excessive pressure on the handle will result in
poor compaction by obstructing the vibratory
action.
♦
The rammer must not be pressed down into the
material being compacted.
♦
If the machine tips over during operation, switch
off the engine before lifting it up.
