MTR-60L — OPERATION
We strongly recommend that you study this Operational Manual.
Proper maintenance and operation is essential for long life and
durability of your rammer.
1. Before operating
1-1.
The rammer should be greased every two weeks (normal
use) days.
Be sure to use MQ HIGH TEMPERATURE GREASE
(PART#GS2).
Equivalent greases are Shell Darina or Texaco
Thermatex, both have a bentone base with a EP-2 rating.
If an
inferior type grease is used, the grease could become too thick
or too thin due to change in temperature and improper lubrication
may result.
1-2.
The rammer is equipped with a two-cycle gasoline engine.
Use a well blended mixture of fuel ( 32 parts gasoline: 1 part 2-
cycle outboard oil).
A regular grade gasoline should be used.
High test ethyl gasoline is not recommended.
The oil used with
the gasoline should be a good grade of two-cycle or outboard
motor oil (Fig. 1).
DO NOT USE REGULAR AUTOMOTIVE-
TYPE MOTOR OIL.
1-3.
When filling the rammer with fuel, be sure that the fuel filter
located in the fuel tank is used.
Make sure that the leak stopper
is installed in the fuel tank cap as fuel may splash out of the tank
due to vibration.
(Figs. 2 and 3.)
1-4.
Check all the screws and bolts for tightness.
1-5.
Clean all mud and dirt from the rammer.
Particular attention
should be paid to cleaning the spindle rod and guide spindle
(located underneath the protective sleeve) and the recoil starter.
(Figs. 4 and 5.)
2. Starting
2-1.
Turn the fuel on by moving the fuel cock lever downward
(Fig. 6).
2-2.
Close the choke lever and move the throttle lever to the
“off” position.
The choke is closed by moving the lever upward.
In cold weather, start the unit with the choke in the fully closed
position.
In summer time or when the engine is warm,
the unit
can be started with the choke halfway or completely open
(Fig.7).
2-3.
Forcefully pull the recoil starter rope to start the engine.
NOTE: Do not pull the starter rope all the way to the end and do
not let the starter rope snap back as damage may result (Fig.8).
2-4.
As soon as the engine starts, gradually open the choke to
the fully open position.
Let the engine idle for 2 to 3 minutes at
low speed prior to operating the rammer.
2-5.
If the engine does not start, remove and
check the spark
plug for excessive carbon or excess fuel on the spark plug.
Clean and replace the spark plug as necessary.
If the carburetor
is flooded or the crank case is loaded with excess fuel, open the
drain cock as shown in (Fig. 9) and drain out excess fuel.
