Usage Features
The HT-PILOT-1500 is designed for straightforward operation. Before starting, ensure the fuel tank is filled with the correct 25:1 gasoline-oil mixture. The device is started using a manual pull starter.
Starting the Device:
- Set the choke lever to the "ON" position.
- Press the primer bulb 5-10 times until fuel is visible.
- Set the throttle lever to the "START" position.
- Pull the starter rope until the engine starts.
- Once the engine is running, gradually move the choke lever to the "OFF" position.
- Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes before operating under load.
Driving Posts:
- Select the appropriate adapter sleeve for the post diameter. The device comes with adapters for diameters of 20-49 mm, 50-69 mm, and 70-100 mm.
- Place the adapter sleeve over the post.
- Lift the pile driver and position it over the post, ensuring it is centered and stable.
- Hold the device firmly with both hands.
- Engage the throttle to begin the hammering action.
- Apply downward pressure to guide the post into the ground.
- Once the post is driven to the desired depth, release the throttle and turn off the engine.
Safety Precautions:
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including hearing protection, eye protection, head protection, and protective gloves.
- Ensure the work area is clear of bystanders and obstacles.
- Never operate the device under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
- Regularly check the device for any damage or loose parts before use.
- Do not modify the device in any way.
- Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
