Everything you need to set up, connect, and operate your new Revolution Post Driver — organised into short, focused videos by Tony White. Use this page as your go-to reference whenever you need a refresher on any part of the machine.
A focused safety briefing on how rope behaviour between the hammer and post cap can become dangerous if not actively monitored. Tony explains why the rope going slack as the cap meets the post often causes it to fall free — which is generally fine and even preferable — but warns that on a leaning mast (e.g. working on contour), the rope may not clear and can carry the post cap with the hammer stroke, releasing the post unexpectedly.
What rope memory is, how it develops, and why it causes ongoing problems with pulley tracking. Tony explains the two main causes: rope forced sideways through a pulley under load (e.g. fouled on a tree branch), and slack rope laying on a hillside between hammer strokes. Both result in a permanent bend that causes the rope to continually want to displace from the pulley. Keeping ropes taut, free of fouling, and well-oiled is the key preventive measure.
A full walkthrough of safely detaching and reattaching the hammer and post cap — useful for long road travel, working on undulating terrain, deadman anchors, driven footings, or using the mast as a lifting device. Tony covers the correct mast height and body position for safe handling,.
