GENERAL INFORMATION
Definition of Tamping Rammer
The Mikasa MTR40F 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 MTR40F levels and uniformly compacts
voids between soil particles to increase dry density.
Circular motion is converted to create impact force. The MTR40F
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 MTR40F is equipped with a Robin air-cooled, fourcycle gasoline engine. Transmission of power takes place by
increasing the engine speed to engage the centrifugal clutch.
Rammer Spring Cylinder and Crankcase Bearings
The Mikasa MTR40F uses zerk grease fittings to lubricate the
spring cylinder and crankcase bearings. Lubricate these grease
fittings as indicated in the maintenance section of this manual.
CAUTION
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).
Before starting operation check the lifting
handle to:
