general Information

The Multiquip MTX80SD tamping rammer is a powerful compacting tool capable of applying a tremendous force in consecutive impacts to a soil surface. Its applications include soil compacting for road, embankments and reservoirs as well as backfilling for gas pipelines, water pipelines and cable installation work.

The impact force of the MTX80SD levels and uniformly compacts voids between soil particles to increase dry density.

Circular motion is converted to create impact force. The MTX80SD tamping rammer develops a powerful compacting force at the foot of the rammer. To maintain optimum performance, proper operation and service are essential.

The MTX80SD is equipped with an air cooled, four- cycle gasoline engine. Transmission of the power takes place by increasing the engine speed to engage the centrifugal clutch.

The MTX80SD uses an oil bath lubrication system. Always check the oil level through the oil level sight glass at the rear of the tamper foot.

Before starting the MTX80SD Tamping Rammer identify and understand the function of the controls.

CAUTION

Before starting operation check the lifting handle to:

1.Make sure that there is no damage on the bolts.

2.Make sure that there is no crack or breakage on handle.

3.Make sure that there is no fissure on the surface. If there is any abnormality or damage, replace with new one.
