all lines, pipes and hoses are not worn or damaged.
3. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood, rather hands, to search for
suspected leaks. If injured by escapingfluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction can develop if proper medical

8.
Do notlubricate or adjust post driver when it is beingoperated or while it is in motion.
9. Always retract all cylinders, shut off tractor engine and disengage P.T.O. before lubricating post driver
10. Replace any safety decals that are damaged or are illegible.
