MT-65HA — GENERAL INFORMATION
Definition of Tamping Rammer
The Mikasa MT-65HA tamping rammer is a powerful
compacting tool capable of applying a tremendous force in
consecutive impacts to a soil surface. Its applications include
soil compacting for road, embankments and reservoirs as
well as backfilling for gas pipelines, water pipelines and cable
installation work.
The impact force of the MT-65HA levels and uniformly
compacts voids between soil particles to increase dry density.
Circular motion is converted to create impact force. The MT65HA tamping rammer develops a powerful compacting force
at the foot of the rammer. To maintain optimum performance,
proper operation and service are essential.
Construction of Tamping Rammer
The Mikasa MT-65HA is equipped with an air cooled, fourcycle gasoline engine. Transmission of the power takes place
by increasing the engine speed to engage the centrifugal
clutch.
Rammer Gearbox and Spring Cylinder
The Mikasa MT-65HA uses an oil bath lubrication system.
Always check the oil level through the oil level sight glass at
the rear of the tamper foot.
1. Make sure that there is no damage on the bolts.
2. Make sure that there is no crack or breakage on handle.
3. Make sure that there is no fissure on the surface. If there
is any abnormality or damage, replace with new one.
For operation:
This handle is to be used to lift up the shoe part of the machine
with the body laid down on the ground or truck bed.
1. Use proper lifting techniques to avoid back injury. This
handle is for manual lifting only.
2. Do not use this handle as a rammer lift point. Use the
lifting point on the top of the machine.
3. Do not move the rammer with the lifting handle and the
front rollers more than 16 feet (5 meters).

Figure 6. Engine Controls and Components
INITIAL SERVICING
The engine (Figure 6) must be checked for proper lubrication and
filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the manufacturers Engine
manual for instructions & details of operation and servicing.
1. Secondary Air Cleaner – Prevents dirt and other debris
from entering the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on top of
air filter cannister to gain access to filter element.
2. Choke Lever –Used when starting the engine. Normally
used in cold weather conditions. In cold weather turn the
choke lever to the fully closed position, in warm weather
set choke lever half way or completely open.
3. Spark Plug – Provides spark to the ignition system. Set
spark plug gap to 0.6 - 0.7 mm (0.024 - 0.028 inch). Clean
spark plug once a week.
4. Engine ON/OFF Switch – Controls the starting and
stopping of the engine. Switch must be in the "ON" position
when starting the engine.
Operating the engine without an air
NOTE
filter, with a damaged air filter, or a filter
in need of replacement will allow dirt
to enter the engine, causing rapid
engine wear.
5. Recoil Starter (pull rope) – Manual-starting method. Pull
the starter grip until resistance is felt, then pull briskly and
smoothly.
6. Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions.
while the engine is running or immediately after operating. NEVER
operate the engine with the muffler removed.
7. Dipstick/Oil Filler Cap – Remove this cap to determine if
the engine oil is low. Add oil through this filler port as
recommended in Table 3.
8. Oil Drain Plug – Remove this plug to remove oil from the
engine's crankcase.
WARNING
Engine components can generate extreme heat.
To prevent burns, DO NOT touch these areas
