6. Check the fuel tank (5) and fuel lines for leaks.
7. Move at least three meters away from the refuelling area before starting the engine (10).
8. Do not use petrol that has already been used or that is contaminated. Do not allow dirt or water to enter the fuel tank (5).

10.2 Filling up with engine oil (Fig. 8, 9)

Attention!

The machine is delivered without engine oil. Therefore, ensure that you add oil before commissioning. Use multigrade oil (SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 (depending on the operating temperature) for this.

Note: Check the oil level regularly before commissioning. An oil level that is too low can damage the engine.

1. Place the machine on a level, even surface.
2. Unscrew the oil dipstick (13).
3. Fill the tank with engine oil using a funnel (not included in scope of delivery). Note the max. filling capacity of 600 ml. Carefully fill the oil up to the lower edge of the filling port.
4. Wipe the oil dipstick (13) with a clean, lint-free cloth.
5. Reinsert the oil dipstick (13) and check the oil level without screwing the oil dipstick (13) tight again.
6. The oil level must be within the middle mark on the oil dipstick (13).
7. If the oil level is too low, add the recommended amount of oil (max. 600 ml).
8. Then screw the oil dipstick (13) in again.

10.3 Lubricating the tamping system (Fig. 10)

Lubricating oil is distributed into the entire tamping system by the vibrations of the machine. While the machine is operating, the oil goes into the crankcase from the bottom of the machine through the boreholes in the piston. The oil level in the tamping system must always be kept at the correct level to ensure effective tamping operation.

Remark: If the machine is transported horizontally or has just been used, it must be stood upright for 15 minutes before the oil level can be checked. This allows the oil to settle and provides a better measured value.

1. Place the machine on a level, even surface. Tilt the machine so that a right angle is formed to the floor.
2. Remove contamination in the area of the sight glass of the rammer foot oil drain screw (14).
3. Check the oil level using the sight glass of the rammer foot oil drain screw (14). The tamping system lubrication is OK when the oil sight glass shows about 1/2 - 3/4 full.
4. If no oil is visible, refill with oil.
5. Tilt the machine forwards until it rests on the transport roller (24).

6. Remove the rammer foot oil drain screw (14) using a socket spanner size 24 mm and a ratchet spanner (not included in the scope of delivery).

7. Fill the oil using a funnel (not included in scope of delivery). Note the max. filling capacity of 800 ml. Use multigrade oil (SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 (depending on the operating temperature)) for this.

8. Then screw the rammer foot oil drain screw (14) back in. Tighten the rammer foot oil drain screw (14) with a torque of 9 Nm (6 ft-lbs.).
9. Place the machine upright again.

NOTE: Do not overfill the tamping system with oil. Too much oil can result in a hydraulic lock in the tamping system. This can result in faulty operation and damage to the clutch of the engine, the tamping system and the rammer foot.

10.4 Rammer foot (18) (Fig. 1)

With a new machine, before any commissioning or after installation of a new rammer foot (18), all fixing nuts must be tightened with an open-end spanner AF 19 mm (not included in the scope of delivery). When using a torque wrench (not included in the scope of delivery), the tightening torque is 86 Nm.

11. Commissioning

ATTENTION!

Read through the safety instructions carefully.

11.1 Preparation

Place the machine upright on a firm, level surface to ensure proper lubrication of the engine (10).

Check before operation

• Check all sides of the engine for oil or fuel leaks.
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the fuel level – the fuel tank should be at least half-full.
• Check the condition of the air filter.
• Check the condition of the fuel lines.
• Look for signs of damage.
• Check that all protective covers are in place and all screws, nuts and pins are tightened.
• The firm seating of the external screw connections.
• Check whether the machine is positioned of solid, level and secure ground in order to prevent tipping over. Danger of injury and tipping!
• Check the location. Do not start the machine on a hard surface such as asphalt or concrete. Avoid set-up locations with depressions or holes (such as gullies for example). There is a risk of slipping on smooth, wet surfaces!

11.2 On/Off switch (16) (Fig. 11)

The ON/OFF switch (16) activates or deactivates the ignition system. The ON/OFF switch (16) must be in the ON position for the engine (10) to run.

The engine (10) stops when the ON/OFF switch (16) is moved to the OFF position.

11.3 Throttle (6) (Fig. 1, 6, 14)

The throttle (6) controls the speed of the engine (10). If the lever is moved in the directions shown, the engine (10) runs faster or slower.

Fast =

Slow / Idle =

Note:

The machine is designed for a speed of 4,000 rpm. At optimal speed, the foot beats at a rate of 680 beats per minute. An increase of the throttle speed above the speed set at the factory does not increase the number of beats and can damage the machine.

ATTENTION!

When starting the engine (10), only open the choke lever (7) when the throttle (6) is idle. Otherwise, the machine may actuate.

Slowly start up the machine from the idle position to the full throttle position.

11.6 Guiding the vibration rammer (Fig. 1)

• For optimal compaction and low rammer foot wear, the rammer foot (18) must rest flat on the floor, not on the front or the rear edge.
• The rammer foot (18) must always make contact parallel to the ground to avoid extreme wear of the plate.
• Guide the machine by the guide bar (15) using both hands.
• Stand behind the machine, go slowly and steer the machine while it moves forwards in the desired direction.
• Guide the machine so that you cannot be trapped between the machine and solid objects.
• Always walk uphill when working on slopes or inclines. The operator must never stand in the felling direction.
• Safety shoes must be worn when the machine is on uneven terrain or when compacting loose material.
• Keep the machine clean and dry.
• Also switch the machine off during short work interruptions.
• When working, open the throttle (6) fully to achieve maximum power.
• Never let go of the guide bar (15) when compacting.
• Let the machine pull forward by itself. The machine is designed so that it moves forward by itself when tampering. To speed the feed up, gently pull the guide bar (15) back so that the rear part of the foot touches the floor first.
• Do not exert any pressure on the machine. Do not try to move the machine forward with muscle power.
• If the machine tips over, switch the engine (10) off immediately (set on/off switch (16) to OFF). Set the machine up again or place it on its side so that the engine (10) faces upwards. (see transport position. Fig. 10).

Note: To avoid engine damage, the machine must not continue to run when it is lying on its side.

ATTENTION!

Do not use the machine on concrete or hard/solid compacted surfaces. In such cases, the machine starts to bounce instead of vibrating, causing damage to the rammer foot (18) and the engine (10).

12. Cleaning and maintenance

ATTENTION!

Always shut the engine (10) down and remove the spark plug connector (22) before carrying out any cleaning work.

After each use, clean the cylinder cooling fins and remove any dirt or stones that have accumulated on the machine.

ATTENTION!

Do not use a "high-pressure cleaner" to clean the machine. Water can penetrate sealed areas of the machine and cause damage to spindles, pistons, bearings or the engine (10). High-pressure cleaners shorten the operating time and impair operability.

ATTENTION!

Always shut the engine (10) down and remove the spark plug connector (22) before carrying out any maintenance work.

12.1 Maintenance plan

12.3 Air filter maintenance (3) (Fig. 16)

⚠️ DANGER!

Risk of fire and explosion!

If not cleaned correctly, fuel may ignite and even explode.

This can lead to severe burns or death.

• Clean the air filter only by knocking out or blowing out with compressed air.
• Never clean the air filter with petrol or flammable solvents.

NOTE!

Risk of damage!

Operating the engine without the filter element in place can cause engine damage.

- Never run the engine without the air filter element in place.

A fouled air filter diminishes the engine output due to reduced air supply to the carburettor. Regular inspection is therefore essential.

The air filter should be checked every 100 operating hours and cleaned as required.

1. Remove the air filter housing cover (3c).
2. Remove the air filter inserts and check these for damage.
3. Replace any damaged insert. Wipe off dirt on the inside of the filter housing with a clean moist cloth. Make sure that no direct enters the opening.
4. Remove the foam filter (3b) from the paper filter (3a). Check it for damage and replace it if necessary. Clean the foam filter (3b) with a mild soapy solution.
5. Blow out the paper filter (3a) from the inside to the outside with compressed air. Do not rub dirt off the paper filter (3a). This can result in damage.
6. Place the foam filter (3b) on the paper filter (3a).
7. Close the air filter housing cover (3c).

Never run the engine (10) without an air filter or with a damaged air filter insert. This would allow dirt into the engine (10), which would result in severe damage to the engine. The manufacturer is not responsible for the resulting damages; the user solely bears the risk.

12.4 Cleaning / replacing the spark plug (22a)

(Fig. 17, 18)

⚠️ ATTENTION: Only replace the spark plug when the engine is cold!

Check the spark plug (22a) for contamination for the first time after 25 operating hours and clean it with a copper wire brush if necessary.
