1. Unscrew the lock nut.
2. The butt is fitted to the piston with a taper, so

careful not to cause damage to the sealing
surface on the piston rod.
Fitting
Before fitting the butt, carefully check that the
contact surfaces are clean, both the taper on the
piston rod and inside the butt.
1. Lubricate the threads.
2. Tighten the lock nut. For the correct torque, see
section "Tightening torques".
3. Check that the butt is properly pressed up on
the piston rod taper.

Operating
Compacting
Stand in a stable position with your feet well away
♦
from the butt.
♦ Hold the tamper in a vertical position and press
it slightly against the working surface before you
start.
Strive to find a feed force that makes the tamper
♦
move as little as possible vertically.
Let the machine do the work; do not press too
♦
hard.
Avoid making contact with solid materials for
♦
example granite and concrete which would cause
substantial vibrations and uncontrollable
movements of the tamper.
Any form of idling, operating without a butt or
♦
operating with an uplifted machine must be
avoided.
♦ Check regularly that the machine is well
lubricated.
When taking a break
During all breaks you must place the machine in
♦
such a way that there is no risk for it to be
unintentionally started. Make sure to place the
machine on the ground, so that it can not fall.
In the event of a longer break or when leaving the
♦
workplace: Switch off the power supply and then
bleed the machine by activating the start and stop
device.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is a basic requirement for the
continued safe and efficient use of the machine.
Follow the maintenance instructions carefully.
