Starting the post driver

NOTICE In cold conditions, warm up the post driver
by light use for a few minutes before start working.
Always use suitable adaptor for the post and for
●
the post driver. Place the adaptor in the front head
of the post driver by pulling up the adaptor release
ring and slide the adaptor. Release the adaptor
release ring and ensure that the adaptor is
properly secured in the front head of the post
driver.
Remove the protective caps from the quick-release
●
couplings.
● Clean the quick-release couplings if needed and
connect the tail-hoses to the extension hoses of
the power source.
● Insert the post into the post driver. It is possible
to use a optional drive cap.
Lift the post and post driver to a vertical position.
●
For long and heavy posts, two persons may be
required.
Activate the trigger. When the post driver is within
●
reach, grasp the handles.
● Avoid activating the post driver when it is removed
from the post and ground. This will lead to
increased hydraulic oil temperatures and seal
wear.
● Do not invert the post driver without first isolating
the hydraulic supply.
Do not continue to work if the hoses vibrate
●
abnormally.
Investigate the contents of the material in which
●
you are going to work. Look out for hidden cables
and pipes, for example electricity, telephone,
water, gas, or sewage lines.
