4.2 Sound Measurements
Products are tested for sound pressure level in accordance with EN ISO 11204. Sound power level is tested in accord-
ance with European Directive 2000/14/EC-Noise Emission in the Environment by Equipment for use outdoors.
othe sound pressure level at operator's location(LpA) = 98 dB(A).
othe guaranteed sound power level(LWA) = 108 dB(A).
4.3 Vibration Measurements
Products are tested for hand/arm vibration (HAV) level in accordance with ISO 5349, EN1033 and EN500-4 where applicable.
oHAV 6.5 m/s2 Refer to Section Proper Operation for further details.
5. OPERATION
5.1 Application
Rammers are designed to compact loose soils and gravel to prevent settling and to provide a firm, solid base for the
placement of footings, concrete slabs, foundations and other structures.
5.2 RecommendedFuel
This engine is certified to operate on automotive unleaded gasoline. Use only fresh, clean gasoline. Gasoline
containing water or dirt will damage fuel system.
5.3 Before Starting
5.3.1 Read safety instructions at the beginning of this manual.
5.3.2 Make sure that the gas tank is full
5.3.3 Check engine oil level.
5.3.4 Place rammer on loose soil or gravel. DO NOT start rammer on hard surfaces such as asphalt or concrete.
5.4 TO Start
See Graphic 2
Note : After transporting the rammer horizontally, upright the rammer and allow the oil to drain back through the
engine. It may take up to 2 minutes for the oil level to recover.
5.4.1 Open fuel valve (e).
5.4.2 Turn engine switch to "ON" (d).
5.4.3 If the engine is cold, close choke(b1)on the carburetor.
Note: Occasionally, warm engines will need to be choked.
5.4.4 With throttle in idle position (c3), pull the starter rope (a) until the engine starts.
5.4.5 On engines equipped with the low oil shutoff switch, see section Low oil Shutoff Switch for additional information.
Note: First time use, engines recently serviced, run out of fuel or not used for long periods of time may need the rope
to be pulled more times to move fuel to the carburetor.
5.4.6 Open choke (b2) on the carburetor as the engine warms up.
Note: A cold engine should be allowed to warm up at the idle position (c2) for approximately one(1)minute. Failure to
open the choke after the engine attempts to start may cause flooding.
CAUTION: Always open choke(b2)with throttle in idle position(c3). Opening choke with throttle not in idle
position(c3)may result in rammer motion.
