    4. Operation 4.1 Application Rammers are designed to compact loose soils and gravel to prevent settling and to pro- vide a firm, solid base for the placement of footings, concrete slabs, foundations, gas piping works, water pipe works, and cable backfill works, etc. Please do not use in the following cases as it may cause damage because machine is unbalanced.

  • Page 15: To Start

    4.4 To Start 1. Add 91 Octane Gasoline and SAE10W30 Oil to the engine. 2. Set the engine ON/OFF switch to the “ON” position. 3. On the top of the rammer, turn the fuel switch to the “ON” position. 4. Grip the recoil starter handle and pull it until you feel slight resistance. Then pull sharply and quickly.

    5. Soil contacting surface of the foot is lined with heat-treated metal sheet for extra strength. However, for compacting cobblestone, use the filling-up soil for example so that the foot hits the soil uniformly. 6. The tamping rammer has been designed to advance while jumping. For quicker advance, erect the machine by pushing its handle down slightly so that flat surface of the foot at its rear-end contacts the ground.

  • Page 26: Compaction Tips

    5. Compaction Tips 5.1 Soil Drop Test: Soil preparedness refers to the “wetness” of the dirt or soil. Soil needs to be 50% dry and 50% wet, before starting compaction. A simple “hand test” can deter- mine this. Pick up a handful of soil with your hand and squeeze the dirt. Observe whether the soil is powdery or if it breaks apart when dropped.
  • Page 27 5.3 Compaction Terms 5.3.1 Cohesive soils: Clays and mixes have a particular particle size of less than .003” or .002” and are typically classified as cohesive soils. This type of soil is primarily used for retaining pond beds and mound fills. These soils are dense due to the strongly bound mo- lecular attraction.
  • Page 28 5.3.4 Static force: Found in the deadweight of machines, static force applies pressure downward on soil surfaces. As a result, soil particles compress in the topsoil layer. 5.3.5 Vibratory force: This force is engine-driven, creating a downward force, in addition to the machine's static weight.
