OPERATION AND SAFETY DECALS

Definition of Tamping Rammer

The Mikasa MTR-35W 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 backfilling for gas pipelines, water pipelines and cable installation work.

The impact force of the MTR-35W levels and uniformly compacts voids between soil particles to increase dry density.

Circular motion is converted to create impact force. The MTR35W 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 MTR-35W is equipped with an Robin air cooled, oil-injected two cycle gasoline engine. Transmission of the power takes place by increasing the engine speed to engage the centrifugal clutch.

Rammer Gearbox and Spring Cylinder

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Mikasa MTR-35W uses an oil bath lubrication system. Always check the oil level through the oil level sight glass at the rear of the tamper foot.

Controls

Before starting the MTR-35W Tamping Rammer identify and understand the function of the controls, see Figure 1 on page 11.

MTR-35W — CONTROLS AND COMPONENTS

Figure 1. MTR-35W Rammer

Figure 1 shows the location of the controls and components for the MTR-35W Tamping Rammer. The functions of each control is described below:

1. Throttle Lever – Controls engine speed and the tamping

action of the rammer.

2. Engine Stop Switch – Controls the starting and stopping

of the engine. Switch must be in the "ON" position when starting the engine.

3. 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.

4. Fuel Shut-Off Valve – Supplies fuel from the fuel tank to

the engine. To begin fuel flow move the fuel shut-off valve downward.

5. Grease Fill Plug – Open this plug to add oil to the oil bath

reservoir.

L1. A Returned Material Authorization must be approved by Multiquip prior to shipment. A copy of the Authorization must

accompany the shipment to the designated Warehouse. A copy of the original Multiquip invoice to the customer must

MTR-35W — OPERATION

This section is intended to assist the operator with the initial start-up of the MTR-35W Tamping Rammer. It is extremely important that this section be read carefully before attempting to operate the rammer.

DO NOT use your rammer until this section is thoroughly understood.

Prior to starting the operation

1. When transporting the machine, carry it by the grip handle located on the body (Figure 2).

Engine

Before pouring fuel into the fuel tank (Figure 3) perform the following:

1. Fill the fuel tank (Figure 3 ) with unleaded gasoline. This rammer is equipped with a 2-cycle (mixed fuel) gasoline engine. Use a well blended mixture of fuel (25 parts gasoline to 1 part of 2-cycle outboard motor oil).

CAUTION:CAUTION:

CAUTION:

CAUTION:CAUTION:

Figure 3. Fuel Tank

DO NOT USE REGULAR AUTOMOTIVE-TYPE MOTOR OIL WHEN MIXING FUEL.

2. When filling the rammer with fuel, be sure to use the fuel strainer located inside the fuel tank. Make sure that the fuel

Figure 2. Grip Handle

2. The rammer should be greased with three shots of grease after each eight (8) hours of use.

3. Use MQ HIGH TEMPERATURE GREASE, (part #GS or its equivalent

4. Equivalent greases include Shell Darina or Texaco Thermatex, both of which have a bentone base and EP-2 rating.

5. If an inferior grease is used, it may become too thick or too thin due to changes in temperature, and improper lubrication could result.

6. The rammer is equipped with a two-cycled gasoline engine. A regular grade gasoline should be used. High test ethyl gasoline is not recommended. The oil should be good grade of two- cycle or outboard motor oil.

CAUTION:CAUTION:

stopper is installed in the cap as fuel may splash out of the tank due to vibration.

3. Durinh initial operation (first 20 hours of use), it is recommended that you use a well blended mixture ( 15 parts unleaded gasoline to 1 part 2-cycle outboard motor oil) for longer engine life.

4. Low levels of oil may result in engine seizure due to high

levels of consumption during operations.

5. Check the engine oil level and if the engine oil level is low, it

should be refilled. Use the proper motor oil as suggested in

the Table 3 below.

Inspection

1. Check all nuts, bolts fasteners for tightness. Retighten as necessary.

2. Clean any dirt from the recoil starter and foot pedestal. Wipe the entire unit clean before operating.

3. Replace any missing or damaged Safety Operation decals.

4. Adjust height of handle. Adjust handle by loosening nuts and moving handle to suit operation. Retighten nuts.

Initial Start-up

When starting the MTR-35W Tamping Rammer perform the following:

1. Open the fuel shut- off valve by moving the

lever

3. Close the choke lever (Figure 4) and move the throttle lever

(Figure 9) 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.

4. Move the throttle lever (Figure 6) between 1/4 to 1/2 from the idle position.

3. Close the choke lever (Figure 4) and move the throttle lever (Figure 9) 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.

4. Grip the recoil starter (Figure 7) handle and pull it until you feel a slight resistance. Then pull sharply and quickly. Return the recoil starter handle to the starter position before releasing.

Figure 7. Recoil Starter

5. If engine fails to start, move the choke lever (Figure 4) to the half open position to avoid flooding.

6. Repeat steps 1 thru 5.

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.

MTR-35W— PARTS & OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #8 (06/26/01) — PAGE 13

MTR-35W — OPERATION

7. If the carburetor is flooded or the crankcase is loaded with excess fuel, open the drain plug as shown in (Figure 8) and drain out excess fuel.

Figure 8. Drain Plug

Operation

1. To start the rammer tamping action, move the throttle lever (Figure 9) quickly from IDLE (close) to the FULL OPEN position . DO NOT move the throttle lever slowly as this may cause damage to the clutch or spring.

Stopping The Engine

Normal Shutdown

1. Move throttle lever quickly from the FULL OPEN to IDLE

position (Figure 10) and run the engine for three minutes at low speed. After the engine switch to the “OFF” position (Figure 5) until engine comes to a complete stop.

2. The MTR-35W Tamping rammer is designed to run at 5,500 rpm. At optimum rpm the foot hits at the rate of 750 impacts per minute. Increasing throttle speed past factory set rpm does not increase impacts and may damage unit. The MTR35W is designed to advance while tamping. For faster advance, pull back slightly on the handle so that rear of foot contacts soil first.
