must read and understand your post driver
operating instructions before using the
post driver or any accessory in conjunction
with the post driver. It is also very impor-
tant that you make sure all operators are
trained to operate your post driver safely.

any of the instructions in this manual, call

-
lation Tool before use. The interior of the
chuck tube should be checked for obstruc-
tions, damage or wear. The outer surfaces
of the driver should also be inspected for
any defects. Do not use any accessories if
there is any damage or wear until the dam-
age or wear is corrected and repaired.
INSTALLING / DRIVING GROUND
ROD USING THE GROUND ROD

ground rod between the blocks. Once the
rod is aligned in the concave area between
the blocks, make sure the block is in a
position where the operator can easily
set the post driver and the Ground Rod
Installation Drive Cap on top of the metal
guide pin on the side of the Ground Rod

to tighten down the bolts once the block is
positioned.
