5. Lower Post Driver until drive ram (A1) firmly
contacts the ground.
6. Continue to lower Post Driver main carriage
channel (B1) an additional 1” (2.5 cm).
This important step helps protect lower
rubber bumpers (B3) from premature wear
and/or damage.
7. Loosen stabilizer leg lock bolts and lower
stabilizer legs until both feet firmly contact
the ground. Tighten the stabilizer leg lock
bolts.
Driving a Post
1. Lubricate four guide blocks (A2) with oil
before each daily use and, if necessary,
between post installations.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Do not use grease on the guide blocks or in the
main carriage channel. Grease will retain
abrasive material, which will result in premature
wear.
NOTE: The tractor or other power source
must be capable of maintaining adequate
hydraulic pressure (engine RPM) to smoothly
operate (cycle) the Post Driver.
To avoid personal injury or death,
do not operate the Post Driver by
yourself. Always have another
person to control the machine or
power source.
2. Squeeze safety lever (G7) and pull back
main hydraulic control valve lever (G5) to
raise drive ram (A1).
(A1) Drive Ram. (G5) Hydraulic Control Valve Lever.
(G7) Safety Lever.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
At the beginning of each day, use the main
hydraulic control lever to cycle the drive ram up
and down 10 to 15 times, without impact with a
post or the ground, to “season” the drive ram
return springs. Failure to follow this
recommendation can cause damage to the
springs.
