PNEUMATIC POWERED RAMMERS:
D GOVERNOR - Do not disassemble the governor. The governor is guaranteed by the motor manufacturer for
the life of the motor if it is not abused. Tampering with the governor voids this warranty and may result in serious
injury or death.
D LUBRICATION - Oil lubrication must be supplied to the pneumatic motor at all times during operation.
Operating the rammer without lubrication will cause premature wear and ultimately failure of the motor. Do not install
a lubricator on the rammer handle. Air lubrication system should supply 1/2 oz oil for every 8 hours of use.
D COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY - All MBW AIRAMMERS require a compressed air supply of at least 85 cfm
(cubic feet per minute) at 110 psi (pounds per square inch). The air supply must be provided on a continuous basis.
(i.e. Check the compressor pressure gauge while the rammer is running). Peak compaction performance will not
be achieved if the air supply is inadequate.
D MOTOR ICING - If the rammer is operated for extended periods of time or is operated in high humidity
conditions, frost will form on the motor. This is normal and will not harm the motor. If the motor should īfreeze up"
from icing, allow it to thaw before continuing usage. Ensure that there is adequate oil supply to the motor.
Make sure hands, feet and clothing are at a safe distance from any moveable parts prior to starting, Also,
before starting, review related Safety Precautions listed on Page 1.
