TAMPING RAMMERS
5.5 MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND STORAGE
5.5.1. Before undertaking any maintenance service on the compacting rammer, STOP THE
ENGINE COMPLETELY.
5.5.2. Daily maintenance service:
Remove all dirt, dust or oil entirely from the machine. Check the air filter, cleaning it as necessary.
Tighten up any areas where oil has leaked, and make sure that all other areas are tightened as
necessary.
5.5.3. Weekly maintenance service (every 50 hours):
Remove the cap of the air filter and clean the internal element using a neutral cleansing solution.
After drying, apply a fuel composed of a mixture of petrol and oil (if possible, utilize the fuel in use),
and shake well. Then, gently squeeze the primary external element (sponge) and place it on the
secondary internal element to cover it.
In the sparking plug, adjust the distance between electrodes to a value of between 0.7 and 0.8 mm.
Remove the oil cap (situated above the oil-level visor), and put the machine in a horizontal position
in such a way that the oil hole serves to drain off the used oil, placing the machine with the hole
downwards in order to drain the oil completely.
Place the machine upright again, and use the same hole to pour in new oil, until the correct level can
be seen in the visor.
The first change of oil should be made after 50 hours in operation, from the second time onwards
every 300 hours in operation.
5.5.4. Maintenance service fortnightly (100 hours) or with signal from air filter sensor (if
it’s present):
