Maintenance Tips

• Clean after each use – Remove dirt, dust, and debris from the body and rammer shoe before storage to prevent buildup and corrosion.

• Check and maintain fluids – Verify engine oil and fuel levels before each use; change the oil and rammer‑leg oil per scheduled intervals (after first 20 h and then regularly).

• Inspect air filter & spark plug – Clean or replace the air filter frequently in dusty conditions; check and clean the spark plug for reliable starts.

• Tighten fasteners & controls – Ensure all nuts, bolts, throttle and choke controls are secure and moving smoothly before operation.

• Monitor vibration parts – Check vibration dampers and rammer shoe wear regularly; replace worn components to maintain performance.

• Safe storage – Store the rammer in a dry, protected location with fuel system secured; wipe spilled fuel and prevent moisture exposure.
