Manually Using the Hydraulics to Pull the Probe Up

Manually Using the Hydraulics to Pull the Probe Up

The hydraulics can be operated manually using the controls on the hydraulic block.

  1. Activate the probe rotation by pressing down the red rotation valve button to release the lock pin (will come up a bit). Turn the button counter-clockwise to activate probe rotation.
  2. Locate the hammer/probe valve. The probe goes down when pulling the valve. The probe goes up when pushing the valve. At the same time always activate the main valve by pressing it down when activating the other functions.
  3. Never lift the foot off the soil surface while the probe is in the ground. This can change the angle of the probe.

Remember to re-set the rotation valve before continuing to sample of the probe.
