3.
Drive the tractor near to the post so it can be reached while operating the
external controls. Lower the machine onto the ground so it stands on its front
legs and firmly apply the tractor handbrake. If working on a sloping ground it is
far safer to drive up and down than across the slope. Engage the auxiliary
service to provide oil flow to the control valve.
4.
The operator can now enter the safe working zone. With the driver weight
fully down ensure the post cap lock chain is hooked onto the post cap chain
hook and retained with lynch pin. This connects the driver weight to the post
cap plate.
5.
Operate the control to raise the driver weight and post cap plate a short
distance above the post.
6.
With the hydraulic rear leg raised off the ground, operate the controls to
position the post cap plate above the post. Ensure the mast is angled to
match the desired angle of the post. With the Post driver in this position,
the operator must never put their hands on top of the post or move the
post manually.
7.
Lower the rear leg and foot plate only enough to stabilise the machine. If
the front legs are raised off the ground then the rear leg has been lowered too
far.
8.
Carefully lower the driver weight and post cap plate onto the post.
9.
Unhook the post cap lock chain from the post cap plate.
10.
Operate the control to raise the driver weight then move the control lever
fully in the down position to drop the weight with maximum impact.
11.
Repeat step 10 until the post has been driven into the ground to the
desired depth.
12.
With the driver weight and cap plate lowered on top of the post hook the
post cap lock chain onto the post cap chain hook.
13.
Operate the driver weight control to raise the weight and post cap plate of
the post.
14.
Operate the control to raise the rear leg and foot plate off the ground.
15.
Operate the Slew or telescopic control to move the mast away from the
post.
16 Carefully operate the driver weight control to slowly lower the weight and
post cap plate fully to the bottom of the mast.
17. At this position the operator can move away from the safe working zone.
17. Repeat the safe working procedure steps for each post. To transport the
post driver then ensure the transportation procedure is followed.
