MT-65HA — OPERATION
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.
2. The MT-65HA Tamping rammer is designed to run at 3,600
rpm. At optimum rpm the foot hits at the rate between 590 ~
695 impacts per minute. Increasing throttle speed past
factory set rpm does not increase impacts and may damage
unit. The MT-65HA is designed to advance while tamping. For
faster advance, pull back slightly on the handle so that rear
of foot contacts soil first.
3. To stop the tamping action, move throttle lever quickly from
the FULL OPEN to IDLE position.
