Starting Instructions

Rammer Gearbox and Spring Cylinder Oil Bath

This unit uses an oil bath lubrication system. Perform the
following:

1. Check the oil level through the oil level sight glass (Figure 1)

at the rear of the tamper foot.

2. If oil is not visible, add 10W-30 SE, SF or higher grade

motor oil into the oil fill plug opening (Figure 1). The bath
contains approximately 1.7 pints (800 cc.). The oil level
should be kept at the half way point of the sight glass.
