to Stop position.
5 Operation
5-1 Move the throttle lever quickly from the IDLE to
OPERATION position to start tamping action. DO
NOT move the throttle lever slowly as this may
cause damage to the clutch or spring.
5-2 The tamping rammer is designed to tamp the
ground 650 to 700 times per minute for MT-76D at
an engine speed of 3,100 rpm.
Increasing the engine speed above the
recommended rpm will not increase the rammer
effectiveness.
Impact will actually decrease because a resonance
is created rather than a tamping effect, and
damage to the unit can result.
5-3 The rammer can be warmed by quickly moving the
throttle lever from the OPERATION to the IDLE
position several times until the rammer operates
smoothly.
5 -4 The tamping rammer is designed to travel forward
while tamping.
To increase travel speed, pull back slightly to the
handle so that the rear of the foot contacts soil
first.
5-5 To stop tamping, quickly move the throttle lever
from the OPERATION to IDLE position.
Do not move the lever slowly as irregular action
and damage may result.
6. Stopping the Engine
6-1 Move throttle lever quickly from idle to STOP while
pressing the throttle lever button.
Run the engine for three minutes at idle speed to
allow for proper cool down.
Following above procedure will prevent improper
cylinder lubrication caused by overheated
engine.(Fig.6)
