4.10 Selecting and Adjusting the Ramming Stroke (BS 65-V)
Overview The length of the ramming stroke directly affects the impact force delivered by the
rammer. Selecting the appropriate stroke depends on job requirements and soil
conditions.
The ramming stroke is adjusted by rotating a locking lever inside the housing.
Safety
requirements
To avoid injuring yourself and others:
■ Always stop the engine before adjusting the ramming stroke. The clutch could
engage, causing the rammer to jump unexpectedly.
■ Adjust the ramming stroke with machine standing upright and resting on a firm,
level surface.
■ Do not adjust the ramming stroke if the machine is in an unstable position where
it can easily tip or slide.
■ Adjustment should be performed by one person and with no one else near the
machine. The tool used to make the adjustment could slip out of your hands and
strike someone standing nearby.
■ Do not operate the rammer with the stroke adjusting cover open. The locking
lever rotates rapidly and could catch on skin or clothing.
Location The locking lever (a) is located inside the housing. The removable adjusting tool (b)
fits into the bore (c) on the locking lever.
