the safe working zone the operator must work in while operating the post
driver controls. All dimensions are in millimetres.

Connect the pressure and return hoses to and from the control valve to the
tractor hydraulic service.

Before removing the safety lock plates very carefully move each control
lever forward and back a small distance until each cylinder is able to extend
and retract slightly. Care must be taken as to not damage or strain any
fabrication with the safety lock plates in position. This procedure will prime all
cylinders with oil and remove any air trapped in the hydraulic circuit.
Removing the safety lock plates before doing so could cause the mast to fall if
the cylinders are not charged with oil.
9.
Remove the safety lock plates and slew lock pin.
10.
Fully operate all controls. Always raise the hydraulic rear leg and foot
plate off the ground before using the slew or telescopic control. Care must be
taken with the weight control, with the weight lifted up the mast operate the
control very carefully to slowly lower the weight. A falling weight down to the
bottom of the mast will cause damage.
