Deactivate the electrical control switch.
The Hammer can now be activated by turning the auxiliary hydraulics to the
forward position. If you are not using the loader float position, the loader arms
should be lowered as the post is driven into the ground.
Drive the post to the desired depth.
As soon as the weight is released (starts to drop), shut off the auxiliary hydraulics,
raise the Hammer until the post is cleared, and move to the next post.

Before disconnecting the Hammer from the vehicle, tilt to a
vertical position and reinstall the tilt lock pin. Failure to do
so will cause the Hammer to become unstable in the free-
standing position.
Removal &
Storage
Before storage, the Hammer should be thoroughly cleaned, washing off all dirt and grime.
If you have a Grapple or Tilt, coat the exposed portions of the cylinder rod with grease.
Lubricate the drive chain, and grease all zerks. Make sure the hydraulic system is properly
sealed against contaminates entering the unit. Always store the Hammer in a dry, covered
location.
STEP 1: Lower the parking stand by pulling up on the lock pin.
STEP 2: Lower the Hammer onto a flat, level surface. If the Hammer is equipped with a
Grapple, lower the Hammer until the end of the Grapple jaws touch the ground.
Shift the vehicle to the left while lowering the Hammer in order to rotate the
Grapple to the horizontal position.
STEP 3: Shut off the vehicle engine, lower the arms, relieve all hydraulic pressure (by
activating the vehicle controls), and remove the vehicle key before leaving the
vehicle seat.
STEP 4: Disconnect the hydraulic hoses from the vehicle's auxiliary hydraulics.
STEP 5: Follow your vehicle operator's manual for removing an attachment.
Never allow anyone under the attachment at any time.
Before disconnecting hydraulic lines or fittings be sure
to relieve all pressure by cycling all hydraulic controls
after shutdown. Remember hydraulic systems are under
pressure whenever the engine is running and may hold
pressure after shutdown.
Connect the quick couplers together to prevent contaminants from entering the
Hammer hydraulic system.
NOTE
When stopping the Hammer, the hammer weight catch should be visible through
the viewing slots on the back of the case. Never stop the Hammer with the
hammer weight partially raised.
