MT-76D2TAMPING RAMMER — OPERATION
Operation
1.Move the throttle lever quickly from the IDLE to OPERATION position to start tamping action. DO NOT move the throttle lever slowly as this may cause damage to the clutch or spring box.
CAUTION
The tamping rammer is designed to tamp the ground 700 times per minute at an engine speed of 3,300 rpm. Increasing the engine speed above the recommended rpm will not increase the rammer effectiveness. Impact will actually decrease because a resonance is created rather than a tamping effect, and damage to the unit can result.
2.The rammer can be warmed by quickly moving the throttle lever from the OPERATION to the IDLE position several times until the rammer operates smoothly.
3.The tamping rammer is designed to travel forward while tamping.To increase travel speed, pull back slightly on the handle so that the rear of the foot contacts the soil first.
4.To stop tamping, quickly move the throttle lever from the OPERATION to IDLE position.Do not move the lever slowly as irregular action and damage may result.
Stopping the Engine
1.Move throttle lever quickly from idle to STOP while pressing the throttle lever button. Run the engine for three minutes at idle speed to allow for proper cool down. Following the above procedures will prevent improper cylinder lubrication caused by a overheated engine. See Figure 8.
