Operation instructions
Do not operate the engine at maximum speed right from the start, as the engine
itself as well as the gearing components need a running-in time. The engine itself
reaches its maximum capacity after the first 10 hours of operation. Non-compliance
with this instruction reduces your engine lifespan substantially.
11.2

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.
