5. Operation
(1) Shift the throttle lever to Fully Open
position after the warm-up operation has
been completed.
Rammer starts ramming and moving for-
ward.
DANGER
• During operation, do not lift up the machine by holding the
handle.
CAUTION
• Do not operate the engine with an intermediate speed as the
centrifugal clutch repeats ON and OFF in this speed which
may result in seizure of the engine.
• Shift the throttle lever swiftly to Fully Open position.
If throttle lever is shifted slowly, it will cause irregular
machine motion and say damage clutch, springs, and tamp-
ing shoe.
• Do not operate the rammer for driving a pile or on a solid
ground exceeding capacity of the machine such as surface
paved with asphalt, concrete, cobblestone, and solid rock.
Otherwise, this may cause damage to the machine as too
much stress is applied to the machine body.
• Do not get your hands off the handle while operating.
• When operating the rammer on a ground surface with a large
roughness and a large level difference, or on a steep slope,
take care that you will not be injured in your wrist due to
overturn or slip of the machine body.
In addition, this may cause earlier damage to the machine as
an excessive stress is also applied to the machine body.
• Be sure to stop the engine before leaving the rammer unat-
tended.
