hydraulics. The use of the Post Driver may require the addition of counterweights to ensure
the combined weight of the attachment and load does not exceed the rated capacity of your
vehicle.

total weight by purchasing a weight kit or by adding weight. Add weight in a variety of ways:
logging chain, metal punch slugs, lead tire weights, etc. Do not use concrete or sand, as
damage may result.

Make sure the weight catch is visible through the viewing slots on the back of the
case.
Remove the retention pin from the top of the case. Insert a hook into the lifting
eye located on the top of the weight. Lift the weight out of the Post Driver with a
hoist, forklift, or another vehicle. Set the weight on the ground.
Remove the weight cover by loosening the two lock nuts. It may be necessary to
use a hammer and punch in order to break the weight cover loose.
Place the additional weight into the cavity of the weight until full.
Reinstall the weight cover using the two washers and lock nuts, making sure to
seal the cover with silicone sealant.
Lower the weight back into the Post Driver and reinstall the retention pin.
Do not tilt or operate the Post Driver without the retention
pin in place. The weight could slide out of the Post Driver
and cause serious injury or death.
Do not exceed the vehicle’s rated operating load. If
necessary, use sufficient counterweights.
Park the vehicle on level ground, and install the Post Driver by following your
vehicle operator's manual for installing an attachment.
STEP 1:
The Post Driver must be securely latched to the vehicle.
Ensure both locking handles are in the locked position with
pins fully seated. An improperly latched Post Driver
can fall without warning.
