Danuser SM40 Hammer - Manual (Page 11)

After the post is in position, the second person must move
away from the Hammer and vehicle.
Before you operate the attachment, check over pins and
connections to be sure they all are securely in place. Make
sure the Hammer is securely latched to the vehicle.
When using a second person, do not turn on the auxiliary
hydraulics until the second person is clear from the work
area.
The Hammer is designed
to be operated from
the vehicle seat. Keep
bystanders away from the
work area. Do not operate
with another person in
contact with any part of
the Hammer.
Consult local utility companies to make certain there are
no buried gas lines, electrical cables, etc., in the work
area before beginning operation. Do not drive posts near
underground utility lines.
Stay away from power
lines when transporting,
raising, or operating the
attachment.
Without the Grapple, the Hammer requires a second person to position the post.
This person will set the post at the desired location and grasp the post securely,
making sure his hands are at least 30 inches (30") from the top of the post.
After the post is in position, move the vehicle with the arms raised, and position
the Hammer directly over the top of the post.
Lower the Hammer onto the top of the post, ensuring the post is inside of the lower
portion of the Hammer. Continue lowering the Hammer until the floating anvil has
moved up and the weight of the Hammer is supported by the post.
After the second person has cleared the area, place the loader arms in the float
position. If the vehicle is not equipped with float, the loader arms should be
lowered, applying down force to the post.
Move the vehicle slowly left, right, forward, or backward as needed until the post
appears vertical to the ground.
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.

Personal protection
equipment including hard
hat, safety glasses, safety

plugs are recommended
during assembly,
installation, operation,
maintenance, service,
removal, or movement of
the attachment.
