1.3 Safety instructions for particular operating phases
Before starting the work
• Before commencing work, make yourself familiar with the working environment at the place
of use. The working environment includes: obstacles in the area of work and manoeuvre, the
firmness of the floor, necessary protection at the site relating to public thoroughfares and the
availability of help in the event of accidents..
• This machine must only be used for its intended purpose, and must be operated only by the
well-trained personnel.
• Know how to stop the engine quickly, and understand the operation of all controls BEFORE
attempting to operate the machine.
• The machine must be operated on ground where stability is guaranteed. When working near
the rim of excavated trenches, be alert to potential caving edges, falling rocks, and slides.
• The exhaust gas contains poisonous and hazardous CARBON MONOXIDE. Exposure can
cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death. Use this machine in a well ventilated
area. Never operate the machine in room, warehouse, tunnel, mine, or in a deep trenches
where the exhaust may not be properly vented to the atmosphere.
• The exhaust pipe and muffler is subject to extremely high temperature during and after
operation. Do not touch it unless these are completely cooled off. Let the engine cool before
storing the machine indoors.
•Do not attempt to run the machine with any of the covers, labels, and/or any other
components removed from the machine. Unauthorized alteration or modification of the
engine or the machine is prohibited, as it will affect the machine's performance and may
lead to danger in operation

2-MACHINE DESCRIPTION
Any modification, which could lead to a change in the original characteristics of the machine, may
be done only by Saint-Gobain Abrasives who shall confirm that the machine is still in conformity with
the safety regulations.
2.1 Short description
The rammer CR16 is suitable for repairing asphalted surfaces, for small compacting jobs and for
preparing green areas
As with all other NORTON products, the operator will immediately appreciate the attention given to
detail and quality of materials used in construction. The machine and its component parts are
assembled to high standards assuring long life and minimum maintenance.
2.2 Purpose of use
The percussion and the vibration required for compaction are produced by the vibrator located on
the compacting plate.
The engine starts the vibrator and the torque is transmitted by the centrifugal clutch and the belt.
To allow the minimum of the driving motor, the centrifugal clutch, at low engine speeds, interrupts
the flow of power towards the exciter. The compactor must always be used with the gas handle in
the "OPERATIVE" position.
The motor support and the compaction plates are connected by 4 shock absorbers, which are
mounted to prevent the vibrations reaching the operator.
Use the machine only for the purpose for which it was designed.

Lifting eye (2)
To lift the machine easily and safely, a lifting eye is located over the engine. This allows a balanced
lifting of the machine.
Petrol tank (3)
The 2 liter fuel tank is located on the handlebar for easy filling.
Thermal Engine (4)
The machine is equipped with a Honda engine GXR120 with 2.6 kW.
Transfert box (5)
oil bath transfer box which transmits the vibration to the soleplate via the piston / cylinder
