Maintenance

Perform the scheduled maintenance procedures as defined by
Table 4 and below:
Daily
■ Thoroughly remove dirt and oil from the engine compartment
and rammer. Clean or replace the air cleaner elements as
necessary. Check and retighten all fasteners as necessary.
Check the bellows for oil leaks. Repair or replace as needed.
200 - 300 HOURS (Pre-Cleaner)
■ Remove the element from the pre-cleaner (Figure 16) at the
top of the crankcase (body side) and clean it with cleaning oil
(kerosene).
Figure 16. Primary Air Cleaner
■ Lubricate the top element (yellow) with 2~5 cc of engine oil
SAE-30.
■ Lubricate bottom element (gray) with 7~9 cc of engine oil
SAE-30 and completely squeeze out the excess oil from the
element before installing.
Air Cleaner
■ The air cleaner (Figure 17) should be inspected and cleaned
on a regular basis at least once a week. Remove element,
rinse in soapy water, squeeze and allow to air dry until
completely dry before reinstalling.
■ Carefully tap the paper filter element (Figure 17) several times
on a hard surface until all dirt is removed then reinstall. NEVER
brush off dirt. Brushing will force dirt into the fibers. Replace the
paper filter element if it is excessively dirty.

Main Springs Lubrication
■ The rammer main springs (Figure 18) should be lubricated
with five shots of grease with a hand grease gun after each
eight (8) hours of use.
■ Use MQ HIGH TEMPERATURE GREASE, P/N GRS2 or its
equivalent.
■ Equivalent greases include Shell Darina or Texaco
Thermatex, both of which have a bentone base and EP-2
rating.
■ If an inferior grease is used, it may become too thick or too
thin due to changes in temperature, and improper lubrication
could result.
