Operation
This machine is
fi
tted with a centrifugal clutch. This allows the engine to run at idle without driving the
power transmission gears. As the engine speed is increased, the clutch will engage and the engine will
drive the power transmission gears.
•
To avoid damage to the centrifugal clutch, move the throttle lever quickly from the L to H posi-
tion. For correct operation, the engine speed should be set to maximum.
•
Avoid operating the machine on a fully compacted, hard, or non-yielding surface. Otherwise,
the power transmission gears will be damaged and the life of the machine will be greatly
reduced.
•
When working in a narrow trench, if the ramming shoe should get caught between the walls of
the trench, the rammer may miss-strike and can be severely damaged. The ramming shoe may
especially be damaged severely.
•
Be sure that the rammer is steered only with the handle. It should only be pushed. The rammer
must not be pressed into the materials being compacted. Excessive pressure on the operating
handle will lead to the unsatisfactory compaction due to the fact that the jumping action is
hindered.
Operation at High Altitude
For continuous High-Altitude operation above 1,000m (3,000FT), it will be necessary to change the
engine main jet to a type that will allow for correct fueling of the engine. Otherwise, the unit will suffer
from a lack of engine power and not work correctly. Please contact dealers for details.
