Work area safety a.Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b.Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 3 Distractions can cause you to lose control. 2. 4. a.Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. Personal safety a.Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b.Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.

To add engine oil, unscrew and remove the Oil Dipstick. Pour approximately 20 ounces of engine oil into the Oil Receptacle. Do not overfill. Then screw the Oil Dipstick back into the Oil Receptacle. (See Figure B.) 1. Unscrew and remove the Hex Bolt (1A) located at the top of the Transmission Housing (3A). Make sure the oil is level with the oil fill receptacle in the Housing. If necessary, top off with SAE 20W/50 oil. Then replace the Hex Bolt. (See Figure G, page 9.) 2. Position the Rammer on a flat, level ground surface. 3. Start and operate the engine according to the provided engine manual. 4. Allow the engine to warm up. Grasp the Rail (4) firmly and slowly pull the Throttle Lever towards the FAST position. The Rammer will commence the pounding action. Do not accelerate to wide open throttle position from the resting position. Allow yourself time to get the feel and required control over guiding the Rammer. 5. To turn off the Engine, turn the throttle towards idle and the Engine’s Power Switch (27) to its “OFF” position. Then turn the Engine’s Fuel Valve to its “CLOSED” position. FUEL TANK CAP FUEL TANK FIGURE C 4. To fill the Fuel Tank, unscrew and remove the Fuel Tank Cap. Fill the Fuel Tank with approximately 3/4 gallon of unleaded gasoline. Avoid fuel spills. Wipe off any spilled fuel. Then replace the Fuel Tank Cap. WARNING! DO NOT attempt to fill the Fuel Tank when the Engine is running or hot. (See Figure C.) Machine Operation 1. WARNING! When operating the Rammer, keep feet clear from the Bottom Plate (3C) to avoid personal injury. 2. CAUTION! Do not operate the Rammer on hard, unyielding surfaces to avoid damage to the machine. 3. CAUTION! Operate the Rammer using both hands. REV 09c SKU 96422 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 7 4. When operating, guide the Rammer with both hands, but allow the machine to do the work. Bearing down on the handle is unnecessary and limits the Bottom Plate (3C) ramming action. 5. On nearly level surfaces, the Rammer moves forward in rapid jumps. On uneven surfaces or inclines, rocking the handle slightly may assist the Rammer in moving forward. 6. Guide the Rammer so that the entire Bottom Plate (3C), and not just the front or back edge, does the impacting. 7. To start the machine operation, move the Throttle Lever to the FAST position. 8. As the soil becomes compacted, the jump height of the Rammer will increase. 9. With practice, you will learn how to adjust the technique to the specific work conditions.
