damage.

Safety information presented here is generic

in nature – some advice may not be

applicable to every product. The term

"equipment" refers to the product, be it

electrical mains powered, battery powered or

combustion engine powered.

• Before Use - If you are not familiar with the

safe operation/handling of the equipment or

are in any way unsure of any aspect of

suitability or correct use for your

application, you should complete training

conducted by a person or organization

qualified in safe use and operation of this

equipment, including fuel/electrical handling

and safety.

• Do NOT operate the equipment in

flammable or explosive environments, such

as in the presence of flammable liquids,

gases, or dust. The equipment may create

sparks or heat that may ignite flammable

substances.

• Keep clear of moving parts.

• Equipment may be a potential source of

electric shock or injury if misused.

• Do NOT operate the equipment if it is

damaged, malfunctioning or is in an

excessively worn state.

extraction / collection facilities, ensure

these are connected and used properly.

Dust collection can reduce dust-related

hazards.

General Personal Safety

•

Wear appropriate protective equipment

when operating, servicing, or when in the

operating area of the equipment to help

protect from eye and ear injury, poisoning,

burns, cutting and crush injuries. Protective

equipment such as safety goggles,

respirators, non-slip safety footwear, hard

hat, hearing protection etc should be used

for appropriate equipment / conditions.

Operation

This section is intended to assist the operator with the initial start-up of the Tamping Rammer. It’s

extremely important that this section should be read carefully before attempting to operate the rammer.

DO NOT use your rammer until this section is thoroughly understood.

CAUTION! READ MANUAL. Failure to understand the operation of the Tamping Rammer could result in

severe damage to the trowel or personal injury.

Check Spring Cylinder Oil Bath

This unit uses an oil bath lubrication system. Perform the following:

1. Check the oil level through the oil level sight glass (Figure 2) at the rear of the tamper foot.

2. If oil is not visible, add Mobil ISO VG46 or other oil with same standard into the oil fill plug opening (Fig 2).

The bath contains approximately 1000 cc.

NOTE: The oil level should be kept at the halfway point of the sight glass.

Check the Engine

1. Fill the fuel tank (Fig. 3) with unleaded gasoline. A t the same time, check the engine oil and make it a habit

to replenish it often.

2. Low levels of oil may result in engine seizure due to high levels of consumption during operations.

3. Check the engine oil level (Fig 4) and if the engine oil level is low, it should be refilled. Use the proper motor

oil as suggested in the Table below.

Inspection

•

Check all nuts, bolts fasteners for tightness Retighten as necessary.

•

Clean any dirt from the recoil starter and foot pedestal Wipe the entire unit clean before operating.

•

Replace any missing or damage Safety Operations decals.

•

Adjust height of handle. Adjust handle by loosening nuts and moving handle to suit operation. Retighten

nuts.

5. If engine fails to start, move the choke lever (Fig. 7) to the half open position to avoid flooding.

6. Repeat steps 1 to 4.

7. If the engine does not start after repeated attempts, check the spark plug for excess fuel Clean and replace

the spark plug as needed.

8. To start the tamping rammer action, move the throttle lever (Fig. 9) quickly from IDLE (close) to the FULL

OPEN position. DO NOT move the throttle lever slowly as this may cause damage to the clutch or spring.

Please be noted that for NEW TYPE throttle lever, get O ring from manual and accessories bag and fix in the

throttle lever as Fig 10.

CAUTION! Make sure that the throttle lever is moved to the FULL OPEN position. Operating the rammer

at less than full speeds can result in damage to the clutch springs or foot. The Tamping rammer is

designed to run at 4,000rpm. At optimum rpm, the foot hits at the rate of 680 impacts per minute.

Increasing throttle speed past factory set rpm does not increase impacts and may damage unit. The

rammer is designed to advance while tamping. For faster advance, pull back slightly on the handle so

that rear of foot contacts soil first.

Stopping the Engine

Normal Shutdown

1. Move throttle lever quickly from the FULL OPEN to IDLE position (Fig. 11) and run the engine for three

minutes at low speed. After the engine cools, turn the engine start/stop switch to the STOP position (Figure

6) until engine comes to a complete stop.

2. Close the fuel shut off valve by moving the fuel cock lever to the CLOSED position. See Figure 5.

Emergency Shutdown

Move the throttle lever quickly to the IDLE position, and turn the engine START/STOP switch to the STOP

position.

Maintenance

ATTENTION: Surface corrosion will occur on metal surfaces over time and the rate of oxidation

depends on factors such as proximity to the ocean and humidity or condensation of water

vapour on metal surfaces. To mitigate this, WD40 can be used to remove surface corrosion then, when

applied periodically, it will prevent rust from forming.

Daily

•

Thoroughly remove dirt and oil from the engine and control area. Clean or replace the air cleaner elements

as necessary. Check and retighten all fasteners as necessary. Check the spring box and bellows for oil

leaks. Repair or replace as needed.

Weekly

•

Remove the fuel filter cap and clean the inside of the fuel tank.

•

Remove or clean the filter at the bottom of the tank.

•

Remove and clean the spark plug, then adjust the spark gap to 0.02 – 0.03 inch (0.6 – 0.7mm). This unit has

electronic ignition, which requires no adjustments.

•

Clean air cleaner cover.

200 – 300 Hours

The air cleaner (Figure 13) on the engine side will hardly be contaminated, if it is, however after cleaning the

element with kerosene, dip it in mixed oil consisting of 3 parts of gasoline and 1 part of engine oil. Then tightly

squeeze outer primary element (sponge) and shake off well the inner secondary element before installing them.

BRM-700 Tamping Rammer

200 – 300 Hours Oil Bath

Drain oil reservoir on foot housing (Figure 14). Refill with approximately 1000cc of MOBIL ISO VG-46 or other oil

with same standard. Oil should be midway in sight glass. Break in oil should be changed after first 50 hours.

Yearly

•

Check the fuel line and the oil line regularly for damage and to ensure that there are no leaks.

•

Replace the oil and fuel lines every two years to maintain the performance and flexibility lines.

Long-Term Storage

•

Drain fuel from fuel tank, fuel line and carburettor.

•

Remove spark plug and pour a few drops of motor oil into cylinder. Crank engine 3 to 4 times so that oil

reaches all internal parts.

•

Clean exterior with a cloth soaked in clean oil.

•

Store unit covered with plastic sheet in moisture and dust free location out of direct sunlight.
