CAUTION

Make sure that the throttle lever is moved to the FULL OPEN position. Operating the rammer at less than full speed can result in damage to the clutch springs or foot.

2.The MTR40SF tamping rammer is designed to run at 3,800 to 4,100 rpm. At optimum rpm the foot hits at the rate between 590 - 695 impacts per minute. Increasing throttle speed past factory set rpm does not increase impacts and may damage unit. The MTR40SF is designed to advance while tamping. For faster advance, pull back slightly on the handle so that rear of foot contacts soil first.

Stopping The Engine

Move throttle lever quickly from the FULL OPEN to IDLE position (Figure 13) and run the engine for three minutes at low speed.
