6. The operator must remain in the safe working zone and push the rock spike 
hinge around and  underneath the post  cap plate. Never push the rock spike 
itself and never put hands on top of the rock spike. Pushing the rock spike hinge 
keeps the operators hands and arms clear from the suspended weight and post 
cap plate. 
 
7. Operate the control to extend to the rock spike ram and lower the rock spike 
onto  the  ground.  Continue  to  extend  the  rock  spike  ram  until  the  rock  spike 
hinge is lowered 500mm below the rock spike collar. 
 
8. Operate the control to slowly lower the weight and post cap plate onto the 
rock spike. 
 
9. Unhook the post cap lock chain from the post cap chain hook. 
 
10. Operate the  control to fully raise the driver weight then move the control 
lever into the fully down position to drop the weight. 
 
11. Repeat step 10 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. 
 
12. 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. 
 
13. Operate the control to fully retract the rock spike ram. 
 
14. Operate the control to  raise  the driver weight and post  cap plate a short 
distance above the rock spike. 
 
15. 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. 
 
16. Carefully operate the control to slowly lower the driver weight and post cap 
plate down to the bottom of the mast. 
 
17. At this position the operator can move away from the safe working zone.  
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 

Storage of the Post Driver

 

 
Where possible, store the Post Driver away from areas that have public access.
