Pre start-up inspection
The following Pre-start-up inspection must be performed before the start of each work session or after every four hours of use, which-
ever is fi rst. Please refer to the service section for detailed guidance. If any fault is discovered, the RTX must not be used until the fault
is rectifi ed.
1. Thoroughly inspect the RTX for signs of damage.
2. Check Hoses, fi ller openings, Drain Plugs and any other areas for signs of leakage. Fix any
leaks before operating.
3. Check the Engine Oil level and top up as necessary.
3.1 To check the Engine Oil level, place the machine on a fl at surface ensuring the Engine is
level. To achieve this place the Rammer in the position shown below.
3.2 Remove the Oil Gauge, and observe that the Oil is up to the rim of the fi ller port.
Use Engine Oil with the correct viscosity. (SAE 10W-30 Mineral Oil recommended)
4. Check the Engine Fuel level and top up as necessary. Use clean Fuel. Use of contaminated
Fuel may damage the Fuel system.
NOTICE: This machine uses Unleaded Gasoline/Petrol.
CAUTION
NEVER fi ll the fuel tank with a mixture of Oil and Gasoline/Petrol.
5. Check that the Air Filter is clean. Excessive dust/dirt accumulation within the fi lter element will cause erratic Engine operation.
Clean the Air Filter element when it is contaminated (See Maintenance section).
6. Check the Rammer Leg Oil level and top up as necessary (Rammer must have been idle for at least 10 minutes before checking)
6.1 To check the Rammer Leg Oil level, place the machine on a fl at surface ensuring the Foot is fl at to the ground, as shown below.
6.2 The minimum level is shown by the Red Dot on the Oil Sight Glass within the Rammer Leg. (SAE 10W-30 Mineral Oil
recommended)

For long term storage, empty the fuel in the carburettor by running the engine with the fuel tap being closed.
The chemical composition of fuel will deteriorate after prolonged storage. When the machine needs to be
stored for a long time, remove all fuel from the fuel tank. Also remove the fuel from the fl oat chamber of the
carburettor by draining the fuel out from the drain plug (see diagram).
Clean up oil and dust accumulation on rubber parts.
Clean the ramming shoe and apply a light coating of oil to prevent rust formation.
Cover the machine and store in a dry place.
