OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TO THE OPERATOR
Safety is a primary concern in the design, manufacture, sale, and use of a PREMIER Hydraulic Driver-Breaker. PREMIER
confirms to you, our customer, our concern for safety. Improper operation of this equipment can cause serious personal
injury or death. Operation of this attachment should only be done by a competent adult acting in compliance with both the
vehicle and attachment Operator’s Manuals. Since the operation of this Hydraulic Driver-Breaker is beyond our control, we
disclaim all liability for any damages, injuries, or death which may result.
DRIVER
1. Only for models with an earth auger attachment:
1.1. Use the planetary earth auger system to pre-drill a pilot hole if the soil conditions are rocky, frozen, or too difficult
to simply drive the post into the ground. See instructions for operating the auger system.
1.2. Put the diverter valve lever fully in the “down” position to enable the Driver-Breaker hydraulics.
2. Using the Driver requires a second person to position the post. This person will set the post at the desired location and
grasp the post securely, making sure their hands are at least 30 inches from the top of the post.
When using a second person, do not activate the auxiliary hydraulics until the second person is clear from the
work area.
3. After the post is in position, move the vehicle with the arms raised, and position the Driver directly over the top of the
post.
Never allow anyone under the attachment at any time.
4. Lower the Driver onto the top of the post, ensuring the post is inside of the bottom portion of the Driver. Continue
lowering the Driver until the weight of the Driver is supported by the post.
After the post is in position, the second person must move away from the Driver and vehicle.
5. After the second person has cleared the area, place the loader arms in the float position. If the vehicle is not equipped
with a float function, the loader arms should be lowered, applying down force to the post.
6. Move the vehicle slowly left, right, forward, or backward as needed until the post is vertical to the ground.
7. The Driver can now be activated by turning the auxiliary hydraulics to the forward position. If you are not using the
loader float position, the loader arms should be lowered as the post is driven into the ground.
8. Drive the post to the desired depth and deactivate the auxiliary hydraulics. Raise the Driver until the post is cleared and
move on to the next post.
BREAKER
1. If the model contains an auger system, ensure that the diverter valve lever is fully in the “down” position to enable the
Driver-Breaker hydraulics.
2. During the striking operation, apply appropriate disruptive force with the Breaker to guarantee effective breaking.
