9.
Operate the control to fully raise the driver weight then move the control
lever into the fully down position to drop the weight.
10.
Repeat step 9 to drive in the rock spike. Ensure the rock spike hinge is
lowered between hits to always ensure the hinge collar is below the rock spike
collar otherwise causing damage to the rock spike ram and fabrication.
11.
Once the rock spike has been driven to the desired depth and with the
driver weight and post cap plate lowered on top of the rock spike, hook the
post cap lock chain onto the post cap chain hook and retain with lynch pin.
12.
Operate the control to fully retract the rock spike ram.
13.
Operate the control to raise the driver weight and post cap plate a short
distance above the rock spike.
14.
The operator must remain in the safe working zone and pull the rock spike
hinge (which keeps hands and arm clear from the suspended driver weight
and post cap plate) back into the rock spike carrier and retain with the rock
spike lock pin. Never pull the rock spike itself and never put hands on top of
the rock spike.
15.
Carefully operate the control to slowly lower the driver weight and post
cap plate down to the bottom of the mast.
16.
At this position the operator can move away from the safe working zone.
