MTR-35W — OPERATION
DO NOT use your rammer until this section is thoroughly
understood.
This section is intended to assist the operator with the initial
start-up of the MTR-35W Tamping Rammer. It is extremely
important that this section be read carefully before attempting to
operate the rammer.
Figure 2. Grip Handle
2. The rammer should be greased with three shots of grease
after each eight (8) hours of use.
3. Use MQ HIGH TEMPERATURE GREASE, (part #GS or its
equivalent
4. Equivalent greases include Shell Darina or Texaco
Thermatex, both of which have a bentone base and EP-2
rating.
5. If an inferior grease is used, it may become too thick or too thin
due to changes in temperature, and improper lubrication
could result.
6. The rammer is equipped with a two-cycled gasoline engine.
A regular grade gasoline should be used. High test ethyl
gasoline is not recommended. The oil should be good grade
of two- cycle or outboard motor oil.
Prior to starting the operation
1. When transporting the machine, carry it by the grip handle
located on the body (Figure 2).

Failure to understand the operation of the MTR-
35W Tamping Rammer could result in severe
damage to the rammer or personal injury.
Engine
Before pouring fuel into the fuel tank (Figure 3) perform the
following:
1. Fill the fuel tank (Figure 3 ) with unleaded gasoline. This
rammer is equipped with a 2-cycle (mixed fuel) gasoline
engine. Use a well blended mixture of fuel (25 parts gasoline
to 1 part of 2-cycle outboard motor oil).
2. When filling the rammer with fuel, be sure to use the fuel
strainer located inside the fuel tank. Make sure that the fuel
stopper is installed in the cap as fuel may splash out of the
tank due to vibration.
3. Durinh initial operation (first 20 hours of use), it is recom-
mended that you use a well blended mixture ( 15 parts
unleaded gasoline to 1 part 2-cycle outboard motor oil) for
longer engine life.
4. Low levels of oil may result in engine seizure due to high
levels of consumption during operations.
5. Check the engine oil level and if the engine oil level is low, it
should be refilled. Use the proper motor oil as suggested in
the Table 3 below.
