AINTENANCE 1. Keep all hardware tight – re-torque regularly until stable. 2. Inspect all hoses for signs of wear and replace as necessary. 3. Inspect the rubber buffers for signs of cracking – replace promptly to prevent failure. 4. The gearbox contains 1 litre of universal oil. This is sufficient for 12 months operation, so annually remove the lid, pour out the old oil, check all hardware, and add 1 litre of new oil. -
Page 16: Safety
It may be appropriate to wear radio communication equipment in conjunction with appropriate PPE, to ensure consistent safe communication. 3. We believe that when correctly operated, the Autoguide Postmster is safer than a conventional falling weight post driver. Nevertheless, take care to avoid contact with the machine and stay out of its working area whenever it is working. -
