ICM Grade A rammer – performance tested before leaving the factory.
Important: transport upright only. Rammers must not be transported lying down. Close the fuel valve when the job is finished.
Important: operation and warranty
Rammers need regular attention from a local mechanic. The air filter and carburettor block easily. Rammers are not made for very large areas or very long trenches – for those, use a roller.
Warranty: 4 months general warranty. This does not include on-site service calls. Regular maintenance is essential.
Fuel care: always close the fuel valve after finishing the job and reopen it the next day. This prevents flooding and carburettor problems.
Please note: every rammer is performance tested before it leaves the factory. Reliable compaction for trenches, foundations and pipelines.
Always keep the rammer upright – laying it flat damages the bellows and engine.
