3. As the probe enters the prepared hole in the soil, it shaves off a soil residue that is eventually stored
in the cutting tip and at the base of the hole.
4. Slide the dolly rubber to the top of the EasyAG 80 dolly. Insert the EasyAG 80 dolly into the access
tube and position it on top of the joiner at the base of the access tube. Gently slide the dolly rubber
into the top cap to stabilize the EasyAG 80 dolly.
5. Continue inserting the probe by hammering on the insertion dolly with a sledgehammer until there is
a 2.5 cm (1 inch) gap between the base of the top cap and the edge of the stabilization plate tube
guide.
Note: This clearance height is important. If you hammer the probe in too far you
will not be able to lift the stabilization plate off the long stabilization plate pins.
6. Remove all of the stabilization plate wing nuts.
7. Lift both sections of the stabilization plate to clear the threads of the stabilization plate pins.
8. Separate the 2 halves of the stabilization plate and remove them.
