CAUTION!
Do not lift or move the machine to another location
during operation. You could lose control of the ma-
chine. Observe chapter 13.
10.6 Guiding the vibration rammer (Fig. 1)
• For optimal compaction and low rammer foot wear,
the rammer foot (18) must rest flat on the floor, not
on the front or the rear edge.
• The rammer foot (18) must always make contact
parallel to the ground to avoid extreme wear of the
plate.
• Guide the machine by the guide bar (15) using both
hands.
• Stand behind the machine, go slowly and steer the
machine while it moves forwards in the desired di-
rection.
• Guide the machine so that you cannot be trapped
between the machine and solid objects.
• Always walk uphill when working on slopes or in-
clines. The operator must never stand in the felling
direction.
• Safety shoes must be worn when the machine is on
uneven terrain or when compacting loose material.
• Keep the machine clean and dry.
• Also switch the machine off during short work in-
terruptions.
• When working, open the throttle (6) fully to achieve
maximum power.
• Never let go of the guide bar (15) when compacting.
• Let the machine pull forward by itself. The machine
is designed so that it moves forward by itself when
tampering. To speed the feed up, gently pull the
guide bar (15) back so that the rear part of the foot
touches the floor first.
• Do not exert any pressure on the machine. Do not
try to move the machine forward with muscle pow-
er.
• If the machine tips over, switch the engine (10) off
immediately (set on/off switch (16) to OFF). Set the
machine up again or place it on its side so that the
engine (10) faces upwards. (see transport position.
Fig. 10).
Note: To avoid engine damage, the machine must
not continue to run when it is lying on its side.
m ATTENTION!
Do not use the machine on concrete or hard/sol-
id compacted surfaces. In such cases, the ma-
chine starts to bounce instead of vibrating,
causing damage to the rammer foot (18) and the
engine (10).

11. Cleaning and maintenance
m ATTENTION!
Always shut the engine (10) down and remove the
spark plug connector (22) before carrying out any
cleaning work.
After each use, clean the cylinder cooling fins and
remove any dirt or stones that have accumulated on
the machine.
m ATTENTION!
Do not use a "high-pressure cleaner" to clean the
machine. Water can penetrate sealed areas of the
machine and cause damage to spindles, pistons,
bearings or the engine (10). High-pressure cleaners
shorten the operating time and impair operability.
m ATTENTION!
Always shut the engine (10) down and remove the
spark plug connector (22) before carrying out any
maintenance work.
