DANGER 

If the machine falls over while working, the machine will move forward due to the kicking 
motion of the foot while it is lying on its side. If the ground is solid, it will move quickly and is 
very dangerous. To ensure that the operator and anyone nearby are safe, turn the throttle 
lever to the engine stop position and make sure the machine stops. You must be extremely 
careful when working on a road because a serious accident can easily occur.

Before lifting the machine, make sure  that there is no damage to any of the components on 
the machine (look especially for damage to the rubber dampers and the hook). There must 
not be any loose or missing screws and the machine must generally be in a safe condition.

Turn the engine off before lifting the machine.

Use wire cables with enough strength to support the machine.

DO NOT

 lift it higher than necessary, for safety.

DO NOT

use a damaged wire cable.

Never lift or lower the machine rapidly when using a hydraulic shovel or a crane.

When lifting the machine, do not allow any people or animals to pass under or near the 
machine.

When using any type of equipment to lift the machine, be careful that the lifting equipment 
does not cause an accident. Make sure you check the lifting equipment carefully, to ensure 
that there are no problems or damage.

Take the utmost care not to allow the 
machine to fall during work, or when 
s t o p p e d   o r   s t o r e d .   S e c u r e   t h e  
machine with a rope or similar tie 
when stored or left idle so that it 
cannot fall. If the rammer falls over 
when children are around, a serious 
accident may occur. If the machine 
foot is worn, the machine will be 
especially unstable. If the machine 
foot is worn badly, replace it with a 
new one. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Only use the single hook to lift the 
machine. 

DO NOT

 support it from any 

other points (such as the handle).
