Safety Warnings - Titan PGD2875H Operator's Manual

Safety Warnings

1. Always follow proper operation and maintenance instructions.
2. Always use approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Operators and all other persons in the
immediate working area must wear protective equipment as well. Noise emitted from the machine
while working can reach above 100 decibels, which can also harm others in close proximity. We
recommend the following personal protective equipment:
a. Class 4 (SLC80 = 22.4 dB) hearing protection or greater
b. Impact-resistant eye protection with side guards
c. Protective gloves
d. Protective boots
3. Always check fastening screws before use. If they are loose, tighten them.
4. Always check the spark plug before use. If it is exposed, it must be covered by a high-voltage cap.
Check the flameout line and pipes for damage. If damaged, repair or change them before use.
5. Keep the handle clean and dry.
6. Do not add too much fuel. The fuel level should not exceed the neck of the fuel tank. If accidental
overfilling occurs, pour fuel out until the fuel level is within the proper range within the fuel tank. There
should not be any fuel on the surface of the machine. ALWAYS wipe your post driver clean after
refueling. Only start the post driver after any excess fuel has evaporated completely.
7. After refueling, tighten the fuel lid. Be sure to check for fuel leaks or damage to the fuel tank. If
damage is found, turn off the post driver immediately, and do not operate it until the damage is
repaired.
8. Never use this post driver inside a building or unventilated area. The engine exhaust contains
poisonous carbon monoxide gas that can build up to dangerous levels in closed areas. These fumes
can cause unconsciousness or death.
9. Do not use the post driver in adverse weather conditions such as thunderstorms, heavy fog, or strong
wind.
10. While operating the post driver, maintain good balance and operate the machine vertically. The
operator should stand and operate this machine from the front.
11. Do not operate the post driver with one hand or turn the machine upside down horizontally. ALWAYS
use two hands and correct posture when operating the driver.
12. When transporting the post driver, turn it off.
13. Never let your post driver run unattended, and keep unauthorized persons away from the operation
area.
14. While operating the post driver, be sure the contact surface of the post is smooth and flat and the
diameter of the post is within the limit of the post driver barrel (3.15").
15. Avoid quick acceleration so you do not damage the machine.
16. During operation, be sure the muffler exhaust fumes are pointed away from others. The high-
temperature exhaust gas can cause serious injury.
17. To avoid being burned, do not touch the muffler, engine cylinder, barrel, hammer case, gearbox, etc.
after operation. These parts will be very hot and can cause serious injury.
18. Gasoline is highly flammable. Therefore, replenish fuel in a well-ventilated area. ALWAYS turn off the
engine before refueling.
19. Store fuel in a proper area that is free from fire hazards.
20. Before transport, empty the fuel inside the fuel tank to avoid leakage.
21. Non-professional maintenance staff are prohibited from dismantling this post driver in order to avoid
accidents, structural damage of parts, and /or shortened service life.
