you cannot get enough top link or side-tilt angle, you can purchase a top link (or side tilt) ram extension bracket to
give you further extension. These are available from Fieldmaster as follows:

Operating Instructions
1)After the tractor has been placed in position, put the hand brake on and place the gear selector in neutral,
(or park, if the tractor has an automatic transmission).
2)Lower the Post Driver so that the legs are placed firmly on the ground.
3)Position adjustment to mast is done by using the adjusting screw link and top link, (or by hydraulic
movement where hydraulic top link and side tilt rams are fitted).
4)Ensure the rammer is level by sighting the level sight glass provided on the machine.
5)Connect chain from the post cap to the prong on the hammer weight and raise the weight up by pulling the lever
backward (see direction of arrow on valve).
6)
Position the post cap so that the top of the post is directly underneath the post cap spike. Always position the
post cap spike directly in the centre of the post.
7)Lower the weight so that the locator spike holds the post securely, and remove the chain from the hammer.
8)Always keep hands away from the post; stand to the side of the Post Driver when driving the post into the
ground.
9)Start off with a few short strokes before using the full potential of the weight.
10)When the post has reached the desired height, attach the chain to the weight to pull the post cap off the
post.
11)Raise the Post Driver with the weight in the lowered position before driving the tractor away.
IMPORTANT
a)
Never move or adjust the machine until the hammer is completely lowered.
b)
Never operate machine until level bubble is showing level position.
c)
Keep well clear of the hammer when it is raised.
d)
Do not stand below, or have any body part beneath the hammer when raised, even if it is stationary.
