Troubleshooting
NOTE: Refer to the Service Parts section of
this manual for a photo and description of all
the parts.
Problem: Drive ram (A1) will not move or
slide freely on main carriage
channel (B1).
Possible Cause/Solution(s):
1. Guide blocks (A2) lack lubricant. Lubricate
with clean engine oil.
2. Guide blocks (A2) installed incorrectly.
Refer to Service Information section
assembly procedures for correct
orientation.
3. Incorrect clearance between main carriage
channel (B1) and drive ram (A1) I-beam.
Refer to Service Information section for
clearance specifications.
4. Hydraulic drive cylinder assembly (C1) is
not parallel to main carriage channel (B1).
Refer to Service Information section,
hydraulic drive cylinder installation, and
parallelism adjustment.
5. Main carriage channel (B1) or drive ram
(A1) is bent or damaged. Discontinue use
and order replacement parts.
Problem: Poor performance, low or no
impact, hydraulic drive cylinder will
not extend.
Possible Cause/Solution(s):
1. Weak or broken drive ram springs (C14).
2. Broken lower spring bracket (C13).
3. Bent or damaged hydraulic drive cylinder
assembly (C1).
4. Main carriage channel (B1) is binding.
5. Restricted or plugged hydraulic hose(s)
(G15, G17, G20).
6. Low or no hydraulic pressure or flow from
the machine or power source.
Problem: Rubber bumpers (B3) have
premature or excessive damage.
Possible Cause/Solution(s):
1. Post Driver is not properly adjusted prior to
operation and drive ram guide blocks (A2)
are contacting rubber bumpers (B3).
Storage
For best results, always store equipment in a
dry, protected location. Leaving equipment
unprotected will shorten the service life of the
implement.
1. Before storing, remove debris and clean
the entire unit with compressed air or
pressure washer.
2. Inspect the Shaver Post Driver. Replace
any worn or damaged parts before using
the Post Driver again.
• Check all bolted connections. Ensure
that fasteners are tight, and all pins are
secured in place.
• Inspect frame for structural fractures.
• Make sure all warning decals are in place
and legible.
• Make sure rubber debris guard is in place
and in good condition.
• Check hydraulic cylinder(s) for signs of
seal damage or excessive wear.
• Inspect all hydraulic hoses and fittings for
leaks or signs of wear.
3. After cleaning, lightly lubricate guide
blocks with clean engine oil. Do not apply
grease, as this will retain grit and cause
excessive wear.
4. Clean and lubricate hydraulic control valve
safety stop linkage. Make sure return
spring and cotter pins are in good
condition.
5. Apply a light coating of clean grease to all
exposed hydraulic cylinder shafts to help
prevent rust.
