General Safety Rules
WARNING! Read all instructions
Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in
serious injury.
1.
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. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
b.Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
d.Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position when
the unit is not in use. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d.Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e.Use the power tool in accordance
with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular
type of power tool, taking into
account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
e.Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry
or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.

a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

To Start the Engine
FIGURE B
OIL DIPSTICK
3.
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.

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.
