To start tamping action, move the throttle lever
(fig.8) quickly from CLOSE to the FULL OPEN
positon. Do not move the throttle lever slowly as
this may cause damage to the clutch or spring.
After starting tamping action, adjust the jumping
motion to suit particular soil condition by lightly
controlling the throttle lever. When the engine
speed falls between the set values shown on the
engine, your work can be carried out at the best
efficiency. Increasing the engine speed unneces-
sarily, does not cause the compaction force to in-
crease. On the contrary, a resultant resonance
causes the compaction force to decrease, damaging
the machine.
Under cold weather, the oil in the machine being viscous, resistance at reciprocating part
is greater causing the tamping rammer to perform somewhat irregular movement. Therefore,
it is recommended to perform warm up run while moving the throttle lever repeatedly
between ON and OFF positions, before entering the work.
Soil contacting surface of the foot is lined with heat-treated metal sheet for extra
strength. However, for compacting cobblestone, use the filling up soil for example so that the
foot hits the soil uniformly.
The tamping rammer has been designed to advance while jumping. For quicker advance,
erect the machine by pushing its handle down slightly so that flat surface of the foot at its
rear end contacts the ground.
To discontinue the work, contrary to the starting, move the throttle lever quickly from ON
to OFF.
The throttle lever should not be moved slowly.
With the throttle lever closed from ON to OFF, run the engine for 3- 5 minutes at low
speed, and after temperature is lowered, turn the switch to the "OFF" position. (Fig.9)
