This manual provides information and procedures to safely operate and maintain this model. For your own safety and protection from injury, carefully read, understand and observe the safety instructions described in this manual. Keep this manual or a copy of it with the machine. If you lose this manual or need an additional copy, please contact Tomahawk Power LLC or visit www.tomahawk-power.
CAUTION: Used without the safety alert symbol, CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage. 1.1 Laws Pertaining to Spark Arresters Notice: State Health Safety Codes and Public Resources Codes specify that in certain locations spark arresters be used on internal combustion engines that use hydrocarbon fuels. A spark arrester is a device designed to prevent accidental discharge of sparks or flames from the engine exhaust.
1.2.10 ALWAYS store equipment properly when it is not being used. Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry location out of the reach of children. 1.2.11 ALWAYS operate machine with all safety devices and guards in place and in working order. DO NOT modify or remove safety devices. DO NOT operate machine if any safety devices or guards are missing or inoperative. 1.2.12 ALWAYS read, understand, and follow procedures in Operator's Manual before attempting to operate equipment. 1.
1.4.3 DO NOT test for spark on gasoline-powered engines, if engine is flooded or the smell of gasoline is present. A stray spark could ignite fumes. 1.4.4 DO NOT use gasoline or other types of fuels or flammable solvents to clean parts, especially in enclosed areas. Fumes from fuels and solvents can become explosive. 1.4.5 ALWAYS keep area around muffler free of debris such as leaves, paper, cartons, etc. A hot muffler could ignite them, starting a fire. 1.4.

3. Labeling 3.
3.2 Safety Labels Tomahawk & Jumping JX machines use international pictorial labels where needed. These labels are described below: This label contains important safety and operating information. If it becomes illegible, the cover must be replaced. Refer to the Parts Manual for ordering information. DANGER! Engines emit carbon monoxide; operate only in well-ventilated areas. Read the Operation Manual for machine information. No sparks, flames, or burning objects should be near the machine.
WARNING! Serious injury if struck by compressed spring or cover. If the spring system cover is removed improperly, the springs can eject. Guaranteed sound power level in dB(A). A nameplate listing the model number and serial number is attached to each unit. Please record the information found on this plate so it will be available if the nameplate lost or damaged.
3.3 Operating Labels Tomahawk & Jumping JX machines use international pictorial labels where needed. These labels are described below: START THE ENGINE 1. Turn the engine switch to the ON position 2. Close the choke 3. Pull the recoil starter 4. Open the choke. Stop the engine: Turn the engine switch to OFF position. FUEL VALVE Closed Open Engine stop button: Press to stop engine.
4. Operation 4.1 Application Rammers are designed to compact loose soils and gravel to prevent settling and to provide a firm, solid base for the placement of footings, concrete slabs, foundations, gas piping works, water pipe works, and cable backfill works, etc. WARNING Please do not use in the following cases as it may cause damage because machine is unbalanced.
4.4 To Start 1. Add 91 Octane Gasoline and SAE10W30 Oil to the engine. 2. Set the engine ON/OFF switch to the “ON” position. 3. On the top of the rammer, turn the fuel switch to the “ON” position. 4. Grip the recoil starter handle and pull it until you feel slight resistance. Then pull sharply and quickly. Return the recoil starter handle to the starter case before releasing. 5. If the engine has started, warm-up the engine for a period 3 to 5 minutes at low speed, while paying careful attention.
5. Soil contacting surface of the foot is lined with heat-treated metal sheet for extra strength. However, for compacting cobblestone, use the filling-up soil for example so that the foot hits the soil uniformly. 6. The tamping rammer has been designed to advance while jumping. For quicker advance, erect the machine by pushing its handle down slightly so that flat surface of the foot at its rear-end contacts the ground. 7.
5. Maintenance 5.1 Periodic Maintenance Schedule The chart below lists basic engine maintenance. Refer to engine manufacturer's Operation Manual for additional information on engine maintenance. Daily before starting After first 5 hours Every Every Every 2 weeks or month or year or 25 hours 100 hours 300 hours Check fuel level.
5.2 Transportation 1. Shutdown engine for transportation 2. For transportation, tighten fuel tank cap securely and close fuel cock to prevent fuel from spilling. 3. Drain fuel for transportation over long distances or poor roads. 4. Secure machine firmly to prevent it from moving or tipping. 5. The rammer should be transported in the same position as if it is placed on level ground.
5.4 Air Filter A clean engine will extend engine life. Keep the air filter clean at all times. Clean the rammer’s air filter using the recommended solvent daily. See engine manual for proper cleaning procedure. Let the filter dry before reinstalling. WARNING NEVER use gasoline or other types of low flash point solvents for cleaning the air cleaner. A fire or explosion could result. 5.5 Storage The rammer should be stored on level ground, after the engine and machine have cooled down.

8. Warranty Tomahawk products are covered by a Warranty for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of purchase against defects in material or workmanship provided that: - The product concerned has been operated and maintained in accordance with the operating instructions. - Has not been damaged by accident, misuse or abuse. - Has not been tampered with or repaired by any unauthorized person.
8. Maintenance Record PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND ROUTINE SERVICE PLAN The Tomahawk JX60H Rammer has been assembled with care and will provide years of service. Preventative maintenance and routine service are essential to the long life of your tamping rammer. Adhere reading through this manual thoroughly, you will find that you can do some of the regular maintenance yourself. However, when in need of parts or major service, be sure to see your dealer.
5. Compaction Tips 5.1 Soil Drop Test: Soil preparedness refers to the “wetness” of the dirt or soil. Soil needs to be 50% dry and 50% wet, before starting compaction. A simple “hand test” can determine this. Pick up a handful of soil with your hand and squeeze the dirt. Observe whether the soil is powdery or if it breaks apart when dropped. If the soil does break apart, it means that it is too dry. If the soil keeps together in one piece when dropped, it is ready for compaction. 5.
5.3 Compaction Terms 5.3.1 Cohesive soils: Clays and mixes have a particular particle size of less than .003” or .002” and are typically classified as cohesive soils. This type of soil is primarily used for retaining pond beds and mound fills. These soils are dense due to the strongly bound molecular attraction. Cohesive soils and water will not mix easily, but only once the soils are moist it will feel sticky. 5.3.2 Granular soils: These soils have particle sizes of .003” or greater, like sand.
5.3.4 Static force: Found in the deadweight of machines, static force applies pressure downward on soil surfaces. As a result, soil particles compress in the topsoil layer. 5.3.5 Vibratory force: This force is engine-driven, creating a downward force, in addition to the machine's static weight. Vibrations compress the soil material closer together to increase density. 5.3.6 Types of compaction: There are four types of compaction that can be applied to soils or asphalt.
