DCP Dynamic Cone Penetrometer Assembly:
1. Screw the standard cone onto the longer cylindrical rod that features a ring scale; then screw the small impact weight onto the end of the longer rod (with the pointer facing downward).
2. Insert the short rod with the unmarked ring into the upper weight hole (note: the pointer should face downward).
3. Insert the 8000 g round hammer into the short rod; fit the ring plate over the end of the rod, then screw on the short handle.
4. Place the scale base plate at the foundation position to be tested; hold the cone rod vertically, ensuring that the cone tip is positioned such that the pointer can clearly read the millimeter markings on the scale.
