To put the Post driver into transport position, operate the slew control to
position the slew arm parallel with the main frame (slew cylinder closed). If the
rock spike option is fitted ensure the diverter lever is pulled towards to operate

Fit the slew lock pin and mast forward tilt and mast side tilt safety lock plates.
Always ensure the telescopic is fully retracted and the mast tilt ram is fully
closed.

legs fully raised so the machine is carried as low as possible on the tractor
linkage without causing obstruction
Always ensure the rock spike (if fitted) is retained with the rock spike lock pin
in the rock spike carrier.
