2. Safety ► Only operate combustion engines outdoors. Operate in enclosed spaces only if exhaust fume extraction is in- stalled. ► Do not breathe in exhaust fumes. Danger from fuel Fuel is highly flammable and under certain conditions fuel-air mixtures can be explosive. There is a risk of injury or damage to material property if fuel is not handled properly.
2. Safety ► Do not touch heated parts. Prior to work on heated parts, switch off engines and allow hot parts to cool down for at least 30 minutes. Risk of fire ► Place the machine at least one metre away from buildings and other equipment.

2. Safety • Equipment, devices, tools, accessories, safety equipment, etc. are complete and intact. Inspection and maintenance work has been carried out • professionally and on schedule. • Operating fluids have been topped up (fuel, lubricants, etc.) • All prerequisites for carrying out work safely have been met with regard to you and other persons, material property and the environment.
2. Safety 2.11 Fire safety Poisonous vapours are released when fuels, oils, paints or var- nishes catch fire. In addition, all measures required to prevent the development or spreading of a fire must be taken in individual cases. With smouldering fires in electrical equipment toxic vapours are released from charring cables, also with fires of fuels, oil or paints.

5. Preparing the machine Checking/adjusting the carburetor setting NOTICE Risk of engine damage! The carburetor has been factory-set for an altitude of 400 m MSL. If the engine is operated at lower altitude without ad- justing the carburetor setting, it will show low performance, tend to overheat and finally even suffer severe damage due to a mixture which is too lean.
5. Preparing the machine 7. Turn the screw L (1) clockwise, 1/8 turn each step. 8. Evaluate the sound of the engine: If the engine is running smooth, finish the adjustment. If further adjustment is needed, continue by turning the screw L (1) clockwise, 1/8 turn each step.
5. Preparing the machine 6. Let the engine idle and evaluate the sound of the engine: If the engine is not running smoothly, this is an indication that the mixture is too poor. 7. Turn the screw L (1) counter clockwise, 1/8 turn each step. 8.

6. Operation 6. Withdraw the tamper. 7. Repeat steps 1-6 two or three times in order to achieve an optimal and sustainable result. 8. At the end insert the tamper without working it and level the indent at the tamping spot. Do not position the tamping tool too close to the sleeper: distance min.
6. Operation Stopping the engine NOTICE Risk of engine damage! The engine can be damaged if it is stopped suddenly when operating at a high speed. ► Before switching off the engine when it has been running at high speed and under full load, reduce its speed and al- low it to idle for about one minute.
7. Transport and storage Transport and storage NOTICE Risk of damage! The oil can leak from the tamping pick the moment it is higher than the engine. ► Always transport the vertical tamper with its motor to the top. Transport The temperature range for transporting the machine is -20°C to +60°C.
7. Transport and storage Laying down the machine 2. Make sure to lay down the machine only in the same man- ner as shown in the picture with the protection shield point- ing upwards (see arrow). Fig. 33: Laying down the machine Storage The temperature range for storing the machine is -20°C to +60°.

7. Transport and storage 9. Put the filter to the fuel tank, and securely tighten the fuel tank cap. 10. Then, continue to operate the engine until it stops. 11. Remove the spark plug, and drip several drops of engine oil through the spark plug hole.
8. Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Error Cause Remedy Engine will not start No fuel ► Refuel No choke ► Close the choke lever, push the primer pump, see chapter Spark plug wet with fuel (flood- ► Clean spark plug, see chap- ed engine) or oily. ter.
9. Maintenance Maintenance WARNING Risk of Injury! During maintenance work it may happen that the engine is turned; this may result in the engine starting unintentionally. ► Before commencing maintenance work, switch off the engine. ► Before performing maintenance work, always disconnect the spark plug connect- ors to prevent accidental starting of the engine.
ROBEL recommends replacing air filters and spark plugs at regular intervals in line with the specifications in the maintenance schedule. Only perform the described cleaning proce- dures on air filters and spark plugs in an emergency, i.e.
9. Maintenance Interval Part/Component Maintenance work Remark Every 200 Valve clearance (intake valve Inspect / adjust Request authorized operating and exhaust valve) service station hours Every year or Fuel pipe Replace See ch. 9.3.7 every 200 operating hours Rubber buffer The rubber buffers for vibration damping fitted between the guide frame and the vibrator are parts subject to wear.
9. Maintenance Engine Periodic inspection and adjustment of the engine are essential if high level performance is to be maintained. Regular maintenance will also ensure a long service life. The required maintenance intervals and the type of the mainte- nance work to be carried out are described in the table in chapter 9.1 (see also original operating instructions of the en- gine manufacturer).

9. Maintenance Rubber buffers 9.4.1 Checking the rubber buffers The rubber buffers for vibration damping fitted between the handle, mounting plate and tamping tool are wear parts. 1. Replace the rubber buffers when necessary (= visible cracks, porosity.) Fig. 42: Rubber buffers 4x between handle and mounting plate: (EDP No.
9. Maintenance 9.4.2 Replacing the rubber buffers Dismantling rubber buffers Tools: • Open-end spanner AF 17 • Pliers with protective jaws NOTICE Risk of damage to rubber buffers! If rubber buffers are twisted or misaligned, tensile or com- pressive stresses are already impressed at standstill. Super- imposed with the stresses during normal operation, this will lead to over-stressing the rubber buffers.
9. Maintenance Centrifugal clutch Every 100 operating hours: 1. Unscrew the check screw (1) and refill approximately 2 cm of ball bearing grease. Fig. 45: Maintaining centrifugal clutch Check screw 2. Screw in the check screw.
9. Maintenance Tamping tool 9.6.1 Checking the tamping tool for wear To prevent a hole appearing in the bottom of the tamping pick and oil escaping or to prevent damage to the bearing, regular checks must be made prior to each use to see how much ma- terial has already worn away.
9. Maintenance 9.6.2 Replacing the tamping tool Tools, material: • Open ended spanner AF 13 • Torque wrench • Angle grinder • Tamping tool removal device (optional) Removing used tamping tool If the tamping tool is worn, it is very likely that the screws and nuts have been damaged, too.
Page 61
9. Maintenance 2. Place the tamping tool on the support (2) of the tamping tool removal device (optional). 3. Use a suitable wrench to turn the hexagonal receiver (3) of the tamping tool removal device in the counterclockwise direction. 4. Remove the tamping tool from the tamping pick. 1.

9. Maintenance 6. Place the assembly vertically with the knocking device pointing downwards over the drain tray and knock it force- fully onto the work surface. Inertia will drive the eccentric shaft out of the tramping pick (5). 7. Once the outer coupling element of the intermediate shaft touches the work surface, withdraw the eccentric shaft to- gether with the bearings.
