Operation
1. Verify you are clear of underground obstacles.
- Ensure you are clear of utilities by calling 811 and reporting your planned activities.
2. Be sure to use all personal protective equipment as outlined in the Safety Precautions section.
3. Start the engine and allow the engine to warm up for 3 to 5 minutes before driving any posts.
4. Lift the driver onto the post, then ensure that the driver is level with the post and the post is centered in the
barrel of the driver (see Figure 10).
To keep the driver square to the post, use the smallest compatible adapter sleeve for the post being driven.
Keeping the impact post centered in the driver helps extend the life of the internal parts, as well as efficiently
transfer the impact energy to the post.
If the driver is not kept square to the post, damage can be done to the machine (specifically the barrel and/or
the anvil) or the end of the post.
Figure 10: The driver should be kept level to the post during operation.
5. Pull down on the driver handles with approximately 10-20 pounds of force, gently engage the throttle until the
driver begins to fully impact the post. Downforce helps to prevent bouncing and unnecessary energy loss.
Driving slowly initially will allow the grease in the gearbox to warm up and properly lubricate the
internal components.
6. To turn OFF the engine, slide the STOP SWITCH UP (see Figure 8).
