What to do if Total Vibratory rammer & tamper engine runs, but rammer does not tamp?
If the engine of your Total Vibratory rammer & tamper runs but the rammer does not tamp, inspect the clutch for damage and replace it if necessary. Also, check for a broken connecting rod or crankgear, and look for low engine performance or compression loss.
What does it mean if the low oil warning light stays on continuously on my Total Vibratory rammers & tampers?
If, on your Total Vibratory rammers & tampers equipped with a low oil shutoff switch, the engine starts and continues to run but the low oil warning light stays on continuously, check the switch for proper wire connections. If the wiring is correct, the switch may not be functioning properly and should be replaced.
Why didn't the low oil warning light flash quickly once on my Total Vibratory rammers & tampers?
If, on your Total Vibratory rammers & tampers equipped with the low oil shutoff switch, the engine starts and continues to run, but the low oil warning light did not flash quickly once, check the switch for proper wire connections and grounding. If the wiring and grounding are correct, the switch may not be functioning properly and should be replaced.
