ASSEMBLY CONTINUED:
14. Relieve hydraulic pressure before disconnecting hydraulic components. Hydraulic components under pressure, may cause parts and hydraulic fluid to
fly out at a high velocity which could cause serious injury.
15. Never remove stabilizer bar from rear of post driver. Stabilizer bar prevents post driver from falling backwards when post driver is disconnected
from transport vehicle.
OPERATING SAFETY
1. Never allow anyone near the post driver when you are performing operating functions.
2. When tilting, extending, retracting, raising or lowering the hammer, keep all persons away from the post driver.
3. Wear safety glasses and hand wear to protect against splinters.
4. Always have a minimum ballast of 250 lbs (113 kg) in weight box of the trailer for stability.
5. If mast extension kit is installed or hammer is weighted, operator must use own discretion when adding sufficient ballast to trailer weight box to
ensure safe and stable operation of post driver.
6. Make certain everyone is clear before operating or moving the post driver.
7. Keep all untrained personnel away from the post driver at all times. Only personnel knowledgeable in the operation should be allowed near or in
control of the post driver.
8. Contact local utility companies for underground services before installing posts.
9. Always make sure the hitch of the post driver has a downward weight.
10. Never place your hand on top of the post at any time during operation. Serious injury may occur.
11. Always use hand held post holder or optional post guide to position post under hammer when driving posts. Using one of these devices may prevent
injury to hand or arm.
12. Know the functions of each operating lever of hydraulic controls before proceeding with operations. Never use the valve to stop hammer except in
extreme emergency. The resulting extreme pressure may seriously damage hydraulic system.
13. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood, rather than hands, to search for suspected leaks. If
injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.
14. If the torque arm chain of PTO pump is not properly secured, severe damage to the pump and hydraulic circuitry could
occur.
15. Always attach a safety chain to the tractor or vehicle hitch before transporting post driver. Serious damage to the post driver and serious injury or
death could result from post driver separating from tractor or the vehicle hitch.
16. Do not operate Post Driver when it is disconnected from transport vehicle.
17. Always stay clear of P.T.O. or ENGINE drive shaft when they are in operation. Serious injury or death will result if clothing, hair or limbs are caught in
these drive shafts.
18. Before connecting (or disconnecting) hydraulic pump to (or from) tractor's P.T.O. shaft, disengage P.T.O. and shut off tractor engine.
19. When driving posts, always watch for over head power lines. If post driver makes contact with power lines, operator or those nearby could be seriously
injured.
20.
Always ensure tractor’s P.T.O. safety shield is installed.
21. Always use discretion when operating or transporting post driver on uneven terrain. Uneven terrain may cause post driver to upset causing serious
injury or death to person(s) nearby and serious damage to post driver.
