 Controlling the belt tension.

12.2.2 Working area

 The right humidity in the ground is very important for right tamping. Water is use as a
lubricant to help that the earth particles are pushed together.
Too less humidity causes not enough tamping.
Too much humidity causes gaps which are filled with water.
 The machine may not be used on hard, frozen or mixed earth that contains scraps of
bricks.
 Too high watering or excessive water contents can cause a stalling of the machine.

12.2.3 Starting

 Turn on the ignition (Fig. B) by turning it onto the position ON.
 Set the petrol cock 13 (Fig. C) onto the position ON (right).
 Turn the Choke 12 (Fig. C) onto the position OPEN (left).
When the choke stands on the closed position, the fuel mixture gets concentrated for
starting of the cold engine. The position OPEN produces the right fuel mixture for the
usual operation after starting and for starting the machine when the engine is hot.
