MAINTENANCE
3.4 Air Cleaner
Maintaining a clean engine will extend the engine life. Keep the air filter clean at all times.
Clean the air filter using a recommended solvent daily. See engine manual for proper
cleaning procedure. Let the filter dry before reinstalling.
NEVER use petrol or other types of low flash point solvents for cleaning the
air cleaner. A fire or explosion could result.
3.5 Storage
The Rammer should be stored in its upright position after the engine and the machine
have cooled down. Be sure to secure the rammer as necessary to avoid falling over. If
the rammer has to be laid down, wait until engine and machine have cooled down and
tighten fuel tank cap and engine oil plug securely. After laying it down, make sure that
there are no leaks of fuel or oil. (If fuel leaks, drain the tank).
3.5.1 Long-Term Storage
Drain the fuel from the fuel tank, fuel line and carburetor.
Remove the spark plug and pour a few drops of motor oil into cylinder. Crank the
engine 3 to 4 times so that oil reaches all internal parts.
Clean the exterior with a cloth soaked in clean oil.
Store the rammer covered with a plastic sheet in a moisture free and dust free
location out of direct sunlight.
