components by yourself could cause serious injury.
4. Be sure all bolts and hydraulic fittings are tight, and all cotter pins are installed in pins.
5. Before applyingpressure to hydraulic system, be sure all connections are tight and components are not damaged
6. Use cardboard or wood as a backstop when searchingforhydraulic leaks. Escapinghydraulic oil under pressure can cause serious if it
penetrates the skin. See a doctor immediately if injured.
7. Relieve hydraulic pressure beforedisconnecting hydraulic components. Hydraulic components under pressure, maycause partsand hydraulic
fluid to fly at a high velocity which could cause serious injury.
8. Post driver linkage can be seriously damaged if interference or binding occurs.

Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing serious personal injury. Before
disconnectinglines, be sure to relieve all pressure. Before applying pressure to the system, be sure all connections are tight and that
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
treatment isnot administered immediately.
4. If spray - can paint is used, be careful when discarding empty cans. Do not incinerate or puncture can.
5. Do not permit smoking, sparks, or open flame where combustible lubricants or liquids are being used
6. Replace any worn or damaged hydraulic hoses and keep all hydraulic hoses and hydraulic fittings tight.
7. Shut off all power before adjusting, servicingor cleaning the post driver.
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.
STORAGE SAFETY
1. Do not store the post driver with the hammer raised. If hammer fell nearby could be seriously injured.
2. If post driver is stored by suspending it with a over head support, be sure it is adequately secured to prevent post driver from falling.
nearby could be seriously injured if post driver fell.
3. Serious injury may occur to nearby if post driver or component of post driver fell because lock strap was not tightened before
post driver.

SECTION 10 OF ASSEMBLY CONTINUED:
ADJUSTING LIMITS OF THREE POINT HITCH - To allow safe operation of post driver the upper and lower limits of 3 pointhitch
be set as follows:
Set lower limit so swivel table is level and lower 3 point hitch arms clear to the ground. Observe lock strap when settinglower
limit. Lowering
3 pointhitch arm too much may cause lock strap, arrow 2, ILL. 10, to out at end of slot causing
damage to post driver.
Set the upper limits so post driver is raised to give adequate ground clearance for transport. To set upper limits, first fold
into transport position then slowly
raise post driver with 3 point hitch. Use extra care when activating 3 point hitch. Be sure 3
point hitch does not automatically rise to maximum height when activated. To start with, set upper limitat or less of maximum
lift height when setting upper limits. Then as Observe position, of hammer as post driver is beingraised. When
post driver reaches desired height, hammer should be well clear of tractor operator and rear of tractor. If post driver can not be
raised to an acceptable transport height without interfering rear of tractor, threaded link may require further
adjustment. See section on page
9. Lower frame and swivel table may bind if upper limit is set too high.
IMPORTANT: WHEN RAISING POST DRIVER (WITH 3 POINT HITCH) FOR THE TIME, RAISE SLOWLY. BE SURE NO
BINDING OCCURS, ESPECIALLYIN THE LOCK AREA. ALSO MAST DOES NOT STRIKE REAR
OF TRACTOR 'TRACTOR'S OPERATOR WHEN HAMMER IS FOLDED FOR TRANSPORT.

CAUTION: WHEN TILTING, EXTENDING, RETRACTING, RAISING OR LOWERING THE HAMMER, KEEP ALL PERSONS AWAY FROM
POST DRIVER.
WARNING: FLUID ESCAPING FROM A VERY SMALL HOLE CAN BE ALMOST INVISIBLE. USE A PIECE OF CARDBOARD OR WOOD,
RATHER THAN HANDS, TO SEARCH FOR SUSPECTED LEAKS. IF BY ESCAPED FLUID, SEEADOCTORAT ONCE.
SERIOUS INFECTION OR REACTION CAN DEVELOP IF PROPER MEDICAL'TREATMENT IS NOT ADMINISTERED
3.
DRIVING POSTS - See ILL. 18.
Before starting to drive posts, cycle tilt cylinders. When post
driver has been idle for a period of time, the tilt cylinder may
creep causing a void in cylinders. The cylinder movement is
caused by a lack of oil pressure in cylinder. For piston seals to
hold oil there must be enough hydraulic pressure in the
cylinders to deform seal. This seal deformation pushes the seal
against the wall of the cylinder and piston block, giving an oil
tight seal.
Cycling tilt cylinders will fill void in cylinders which will prevent
cylinder movement when driving posts.
When cyclingor operating tilt cylinder, push or pull valve levers
to position. DO NOT FEATHER. Feathering or holding
valve levers in a partially open position will also causea void in
tilt cylinders
