Assembly &
Installation
(continued)
Keep hands, feet, hair,
jewelry, and clothing
away from all moving
parts.
Before connecting or disconnecting hydraulic lines or
fittings, be sure to relieve all pressure by cycling all
hydraulic controls after shutdown. Remember hydraulic
systems are under pressure whenever the engine is running
and may hold pressure after shutdown.
Raise the Post Driver slightly, and latch the parking stand into the upright position.
STEP 2:
Route the hydraulic hoses through the quick attach plate hose holder, and connect
the hydraulic hoses to the vehicle's auxiliary hydraulics.
STEP 3:
Ensure the retention pin is in place. The retention pin prevents the weight from
sliding out of the Post Driver.
Ensure quick couplers are clean prior to connection.
Hose routing is the responsibility of the operator. Pinched and/or stretched hoses
are not covered under the warranty.
Cycle the auxiliary hydraulics to make sure the grapple and/or tilt is functioning
correctly. Note the direction of the chain rotation (visible from the operator's seat).
The weight catch should be rotating from the top to the bottom. If the chain is not
rotating at all, reverse the hydraulic hoses.
Check the hydraulic system for leaks.
STEP 6:
STEP 4:
STEP 5:
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.
Never check pressurized system for leaks with your bare
hand. Wear proper hand and eye protection and use wood
or cardboard when searching for suspected leaks. Oil
escaping from pinhole leaks under pressure can penetrate
skin and create a serious medical emergency. If any fluid
is injected into the skin, gangrene, blood poisoning, even
death may result. Obtain medical attention immediately.
