How to Put Bar Holes Into Place
• Place the end of the rod on the ground at the point where you want the hole,
then position the rod in a vertical position. Raise the handle with one or both
hands, then bring the handle down, allowing the weight of the handle to drive
the rod into the ground. Release your grip slightly at the moment of impact.
Do not try to force the bar into the ground by the strength of your shoulders or
back. Do not have multiple people apply force on the handle to drive the rod. If
ground resistance is too strong to drive the rod, ascertain the reason. Different
equipment may be needed.
• Stand erect with bent knees hold
the Plunger Bar away from your face and body.
• Pound the bar down a couple of inches then work bar around in a circular fashion.
• Repeat the process until the desired depth has been reached.
• As the Plunger Bar is driven deeper, bend your knees, not your back.
• Once the bar hole is completed to the desired depth, you can reverse the handle
action to remove the Plunger Bar form the hole. Raise the handle with your
hands, allowing the weight of the handle to pull the rod out of the ground. Be
sure to keep your head clear
—people have been known to knock themselves
out by hitting themselves in the chin.
• Check the guide plug frequently during use.
CAUTION
Always keep your back straight, keep the Plunger Bar
handle away from your face and upper body. Keep
knees bent.
