2.The MTX80SD 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 MTX80SD is designed to advance while tamping. For faster advance, pull back slightly on the handle so that rear of foot contacts soil first.

3.To stop the tamping action, move throttle lever quickly from START to IDLE position (Figure 6).

Stopping The Engine

1.Move throttle lever quickly from the START to IDLE position (Figure 6) and run the engine for three minutes at low speed. After the engine cools, move the throttle lever to the STOP position (Figure 11). The engine will stop and the fuel cock is automatically closed.
