1.Definition of Tamping Rammer

The Mikasa MT-76D diesel rammer is a powerful 

compacting tool capable of applying tremendous 

force in consecutive impacts to a soil surface.  

The impact force of the MT-76D levels and 

uniformly compacts voids between soil particles to 

increase dry density. Its applications include soil 

compacting for road, embankment and reservoirs as 

well as backfilling for gas pipelines, water pipelines 

and cable installation work.  

2. Construction of Tamping Rammer 

The rammer is equipped with an air-cooled, 

four-stroke diesel engine. Transmission of the 

power takes place by increasing engine speed to 

engage a centrifugal clutch.  

Circular motion is converted into vertical motion to  

create impact force.

Preoperation Inspection:  

Rammer Gearbox and Spring Cylinder  This unit 

uses an oil bath lubrication system. Check oil level 

through oil level sight glass at rear of tamper foot. If 

oil is not visible, add #10W-30 motor oil. Oil bath 

contains approx. 1.7 pt. (800 cc) for MT-76D.  

Engine :  

Use only automobile diesel fuel. Check the engine 

oil  before starting operation and fill the oil 

regularly.  For check the oil level, move the engine 

at vertical  position and check that the oil is filled 

with at the oil inlet level.(about 700 cc)  

Check all nuts, bolts and fasteners for tightness.  

Retighten as necessary.

Clean dirt from the recoil starter and foot. Wipe 

entire  unit clean before operating  

Replace any missing or damaged Safety/Operation
