Troubleshooting - Titan PGD2000X Operator's Manual

Troubleshooting

1. If your driver sounds like it is running fine, but the anvil is not hammering as it should, make
sure your anvil is fully engaged. There is a safety that will disengage the anvil if it is dry-fired or
misfired. To re-engage the anvil, simply pick the driver up off the post, and place it back down
on the post with a bit of force to hit the anvil against the post. AVOID REPEATED DRY-FIRE
by maintaining 10-12 pounds of down-pressure at all times.
2. Check the type of grease in the crank. REPAIR/SERVICE ONLY WITH TITAN EP 0 GREASE.
EP 0 is a low-viscosity grease for machinery with rapid moving parts that produce a lot of
friction. If you use a different type of grease, you will inhibit the performance of your driver and
possibly cause damage to your driver or your engine. If you have greased your driver with the
wrong grease, you will need to follow the instructions in the Service and Maintenance section
of this manual for replacing grease in the crank housing area.
3. Check the amount of grease in the crank case. If your driver is over-greased, it will cause
reduced performance of the machine and put undue stress on the engine and the operations of
the gears and piston in the machine. There should be approximately 4-5 tablespoons of grease
visible in the crank housing. There must be room for free movement of the parts.
4. If your driver is low on grease, it will cause reduced performance of the machine. Open the
crank housing cover to visually check the amount of grease in your driver. You should always
see a bit of grease residue moving throughout the machine. You may even see grease left on
the posts. This is a good thing. It means your machine is self-lubricating.
5. If you feel that the anvil or hammer of the machine is not moving as freely as it should, you can
spray penetrating oil up into the barrel to lubricate and cleanse this area. Occasionally you will
get bits of debris that chip off the posts and make their way up into the anvil area. This may
require disassembly to clean.
6. If your engine seems to be overheating and not operating as it should, clear any debris has
built up around the engine, specifically the air filter. If that does not resolve the issue, there may
be fuel system pressure buildup. You can verify this by unscrewing the gas cap and listening
for a rush of air. If you hear a rush of air, pressure has built up. Check the breather of the gas
cap and clear it if clogged.
7. In the event that a driven post flares and becomes lodged within the barrel, follow these steps:
A. Remove the 6 lower body bolts to separate the lower driver body from the upper driver
body.
B. Slide the lower driver body down the post to expose the flared top of the post. With a
proper cutting tool for that type of post, cut the post off just below the flared top.
C. Once the flared top is removed, slide the lower driver body off the post and reassemble
it to the upper driver body. Follow the bolt tightening and Loctite guidelines explained
in the Reassembly section of this manual.
D. IF YOU ARE USING AN ADAPTER SLEEVE, remove the barrel cap and slide the
driver off the post. With a proper cutting tool for that type of post, cut the post off just
below the flared top. Remove the adapter sleeve from the post and reinstall the sleeve.
