Operating Manual
5.2 Uses
The vibrating rammer serves to compact ground and is used in gardening and landscaping, excavations
and road building.
5.3 Brief description
The vibrating rammer consists Wacker Neusonfundamentally of an engine, rammer system, rammer
base and guidance clips.
It is driven by a diesel engine and started via a reversing starter. The rotary motion of the engine is
converted into a lifting motion via a centrifugal clutch, a single stage helical gear transmission and a
crank mechanism. The power is transferred to the ramming system and generates a striking force to
compact the ground.
It receives its preliminary impulse through the inclination of the vibrating rammer.
Rubber elements decouple the guidance clips from the rammer system. This reduces the vibration
transferred to the operator.
