How the JMC Backsaver Handle Works
Simply step down on the footpedal to plant your sampling tube. Then, grab the handgrip (now near waist level) and use your legs to lift the sampler out of the ground. Clean your tube quickly by first removing the plastic liner containing your sample. Then unplug the end of the tube with the JMC Special Cleaner held in a leather pouch on your belt. Finally, insert a clean liner into the sampling tube and you are ready to go again.
Insert the tube into the same hole in the ground. Step lightly on the foot pedal to release the sliding rod inside the handle. Let 8 to 12 inches of the rod slide out of the handle. Then step down hard on the foot pedal to lock the rod and drive the sampling tube further into the ground. When the tube is full (You can track depth by looking at the holes in the side of the Backsaver), lift the tube from the ground as you did before. When the handgrip gets too high for comfort, step lightly on the foot pedal and slide some of the rod back into the handle. Continue lifting and adjusting the handgrip as necessary until the sampling tube reaches the surface.
