Initial Start-up
When starting the MT-84FA Tamping Rammer perform the
following:
1. Open the fuel shut- off valve by moving the fuel cock lever
to the open position (Figure 7).
3. Close the choke lever Figure 9 and move the throttle lever
to the "Full Open" position. Turning the choke lever 90
degrees clockwise closes the choke . In cold weather, start the
unit with choke fully closed. In warm weather or when the
engine is warm, the unit can be started with choke halfway
or completely open.
2. Set the engine ON/OFF switch (Figure 8) to the "ON"
position (START).

4. Grip the recoil starter (Figure 10 ) handle and pull it until you
feel a slight resistance. Then pull sharply and quickly. Return
the recoil starter handle to the starter case before releasing.
5. If engine fails to start, move the choke lever (Figure 9) to the
half open position to avoid flooding.
6. Repeat steps 1 thru 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.
