MTR-40HS— OPERATION

Stopping The Engine

Normal Shutdown

1. Move throttle lever quickly from the FULL OPEN to IDLE

position (Figure 13 ) and run the engine for three minutes at

low speed.

2. The MT-40HS tamping rammer is designed to run at 4,100

rpm. At optimum rpm the foot hits at the rate of 600~690

impacts per minute. Increasing throttle speed past factory

set rpm does not increase impacts and may damage unit. The

MT-40HS is designed to advance while tamping. For faster

advance, pull back slightly on the handle so that rear of foot

contacts soil first.

1. To start the rammer tamping action, move the throttle lever

(Figure 12)

quickly

from IDLE (close) to the FULL OPEN

position. DO NOT move the throttle lever slowly as this may

cause damage to the clutch or spring.
