•Always wear correct PPE (see fig.1).

•Keep clear of moving parts.

•Fence Master® must be operated from a position at the rear of the

machine.

•Persons other than the operator must keep clear.

•To prevent injury, long posts should be cut off first just above the post

rest in its fully down position.

•Fence Master® M730-2 has an operating mass of 103 Kgs (116 kgs with

claw fitted) and should be handled in accordance with safe manual

handling procedures.

1. Wheel Fence Master®into a position central to the post with the post-

rest close to the post with the arm fully lowered. Ensure Fence Master®

is level and stable with both feet resting firmly on the ground (see fig.4).

Do not operate unless both feet are resting on a firm base.

2. Wrap the bottom chain anti-clockwise around the post twice in the

shape of a cross at the front. Make sure chain is as tight as possible.

Secure chain through the slot in the post-rest (see fig.5). Pull the top

chain tightly around post and secure through the top slot in the post-

rest.

3. Turn pressure release knob clockwise on the pump until tight (see fig.6)

4. Begin to operate hand pump. Check that the post begins to move when

pressure is applied.

5. If the post does not continue to move during operation, make sure the

post is not fouling under the legs of the Fence Master®. If this is the

case, turn the release screw anti-clockwise slowly to release pulling

pressure. Remove chain, reposition machine and start again from 3.

6. Continue pumping until post is removed. For lighter footings,

it is not always necessary to pump ram all the way to the top. Once the

‘ground seal’ is broken, the post and footing can be removed easily (see

fig.7).

7. Make sure the post is firmly resting on the post-rest. Then, pull the

handles towards you so Fence Master®is resting on its wheels, taking

care to keep clear of the post as the machine tilts. Turn/move Fence

Master® until post and footing are clear of the hole (see fig.8).

8. Gently lower machine to rest on the ground (see fig.9).

9. With the Fence Master®resting on its base on level ground, turn the

pressure release knob slowly anti-clockwise to release pressure (see

fig.6).

10. Once hydraulic pressure has been released and the chain is slack, remove

chains from the slots and unwrap from post. Support the post whilst

chains are released. For larger posts, a second person may be required to

hold the post.

11. Post can now be safety removed.

12. Push down on hood to lower arms to the fully down position.

13. The Fence Master®is now ready to use again.

14. If using Claw attachment, please read separate instructions.
