Service And Maintenance - Titan PGD2000 Operator's Manual

Service and Maintenance

The Titan Gas-Powered Post Driver has been manufactured and designed to give you years of trouble-
free post driving. Always refer to the Honda GX35 manual for service and maintenance guidelines on
your engine. The following maintenance guidelines will keep your machine in top-performing condition.
Be sure to properly store your Titan Post Driver. DO NOT lay it horizontally on the driver side or resting
on the engine. The recommended method of storing is in an upright position, however, if this is not
possible, place it on a flat surface with the barrel and brush-guard supporting the machine at an angle,
so that the top handle is the highest point.
If you are experiencing an issue with the Honda engine, please contact your local Honda dealer
for parts and service. Titan Post Drivers does not carry the engine parts for Honda, nor does
Titan Post Drivers determine the warranty, which is honored by Honda.
Before each use:
1. Check the engine oil level by holding the machine in an upright position. Lying the machine
down to check the oil will give you a false reading. Use SAE 10W-30 oil to top off if
necessary.
2. Check the engine air filter. If it is overly soiled, clean or replace it.
3. Check all post driver fasteners and retighten if necessary. If you choose to reinstall any
bolts with new Loctite, you must clean the bolt and the area of the bolt hole with parts
cleaner to remove any grease residue. The Loctite will not be effective if grease is present.
Follow any torque requirements.
4. Visually check the inside of the barrel and the anvil for any debris or foreign objects.
5. Check for any fluid leaks.
First 10 hours use:
1. Change the engine oil following the guidelines in your Honda GX35 manual. Dispose of
discarded oil in accordance with all local, state, and federal
OVERFILL. Always check the oil level by holding the machine in an upright position.
2. Check all engine and post driver fasteners and retighten if necessary. If you choose to
replace or reinstall any bolts with new Loctite, follow the guidelines listed above pertaining
to Loctite. Follow any torque requirements.
3. CHECK GREASE: For continuous, hard pounding and/or when the driver body is hot to the
touch, check the grease level of your driving in the following manner:
i
Remove the crank housing cover to check the EP 0 grease level. The crank area
should look clean and grease should be visible around the crank area and on top of
the piston. There should be a ring of grease collected against the wall of the crank
case.
If the ring of grease around the crank case wall measures less than ¼", it is an
ii
indication that the grease level is low. Add no more than a few tablespoons of
TITAN EP 0 grease (NON-APPROVED GREASE TYPES WILL CAUSE THE
MACHINE TO NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY AND WILL VOID YOUR
WARRANTY). You never want to exceed ½" of grease ring around the crank case
10
regulations. DO NOT
