Morning. We’re here to show you how to operate the Hammer with a couple of quick tips.
00:11
Speaker A
In the owner’s manual with every machine, it will go over all the safety and all the operation and maintenance that you might need.
00:17
Speaker A
Before we get started, Tyler will basically raise the machine up, tilt it away, so he can access and view the grapple.
00:25
Speaker A
He will then come up and grapple four inches from the top of the post.
00:28
Speaker A
As he closes the grapple and raises up, the post will load itself into the bottom of the Hammer.
00:34
Speaker A
Once it’s in the Hammer, and the post is on the ground, he can then release the grapple, level the machine, put your arms in float, activate the hydraulics, and drive your post to the desired depth.
01:13
Speaker A
As he raises the post, the post will tuck itself underneath the Hammer. Once it’s in the bottle opening and the bottom of the post is on the ground, he can then release the grapple.
01:31
Speaker A
Now he is leveling the post, coming down with a stopping point, put the arms in float, and he is ready to drive his post.
02:23
Speaker A
Once you reach your desired depth, stop with the weight catch up high and the hammer weight down low.
02:30
Speaker A
That will ensure the striker plate stays in the machine and does not fall out.
02:37
Speaker A
Go ahead and show them how to park it with the grapple, Tyler. When you’re finished with your hammer, you can close the jaws, lower the machine until the grapple touches the ground, and then shift to your left and tuck it under the machine and continue to go down.
03:10
Speaker A
Now you’re in a parking position.
