3. CONSTRUCTION & MAIN PARTS
3.1 Inner Valve Type
Through bolt
Front head, cylinder and back head of Post driver hammer
body are tightly fixed with four through bolts.
Back head
This contains the cushion chamber charged with
nitrogen(N2) gas that compresses during upward strokes of
the piston, and serves to provide maximum absorption of
piston recoil, efficiency storing this energy for the next blow.
Valve
Cylinder control valve is built in the valve housing and
controls piston reciprocation.
Cylinder
The cylinder is the heart of the Post driver hammer
containing hydraulic circuit for piston reciprocation
Piston
Kinetic energy of the piston is converted into hammering
energy after hitting the tool. The hammering energy
transmitted to the tool breaks rocks
Front head
The front head supports the whole Post driver hammer.
Upper bushing prevents shock from the tool
Driver pounder
This transfers piston impact power to the objects.

4. POST DRIVER TOOLS
4.1 Tool Replacement
1) Remove the stop pin and the tool pin with a 330mm-long
steel bar.
When reassembling, align the groove in the tool and
the tool pin hole and insert the tool pins.
2) Reverse disassembly procedures to install
a replacement too.
-Before installing a new tool, check each part for wear,
breakage, scores, etc.
-Remove burrs and swellings on each tool pin,
apply a coat of grease to the movable areas of
the tool pin and the tool and finally install the tool.
-Excessively deformed the tool pins will make replacement of the tool difficult. The tool pins must be
checked every 100 to 150 hours of operation.
If the replacement tool is not a genuine part, we do not guarantee the performance of other parts of the
Post driver hammer.
Ensure that the tool shank is well lubricated before inserting it into the tool holder.
Keep tools well-greased and sheltered from the weather when not in use.
A rusty tool is more likely to suffer fatigue failure.
The standard inner diameter of the bottom portion of the driver pounder is 250mm.

4.2 Greasing
1) Manual Greasing System
Apply grease to grease nipple on front head every 3 hours.
Adapt grease interval and amounts to tool wear rates and working conditions.
NOTICE
Tool shank must be well lubricated before installed in front head.
While greasing, hydraulic breaker must be upright against the tool.
To ensure that grease will penetrate between tool and inner bush.

Mobil 1 Grease special
1) The Post driver hammer must be in a vertical position to grease,
with enough down-pressure to push the tool up inside the housing.
2) Grease until clean grease oozes out around the tool and retainer pins.
3) Grease the Post driver hammer after every two hours of continuous use,
or when the tool appears shiny where it rides inside the front head.
CAUTION!
Grease often. Failure to lubricate regularly reduces the life of the tool, bushings, and front head.
If the tool becomes dry and shiny during the shift, apply additional grease.

5. PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION & OPERATION
5.1 Hydraulic pipe lines for exclusive use.
Operation of the post driver requires installation of hydraulic pipe lines for exclusive use of the post driver.
As hydraulic pipe lines vary depending on base machines, the service engineer must first check hydraulic pressure,
oil capacity, pressure loss and other conditions of the base machine before installing hydraulic pipe lines. Use only
genuine parts In case of replacement because hydraulic pipe lines (hoses, pipes and fittings) are made of materials
carefully selected in consideration of durability.
5.2 General view of Post Driver installed
www.tmgindustrial.com 8/22 Toll Free:1-877-761-2819

6. OPERATION
6.1 Operation method
1. Pre-drill a pilot hole if the soil conditions are rocky, frozen, or too difficult to simply drive the post into the ground.
2. Requires another person to position the pile. This person will set the pile at the desired location and grasp the pile
securely.
3. After the pile is in position, let the Driver onto the top of the pile, ensuring the pile is inside of the bottom portion of the
driver, and continue lowering the driver until the weight of the Driver is supported by the pile.
After the pile is in position, the person who grasp the pile must leave vehicle as soon as possible.
Don't allow anyone stand under the attachments.
4. Move the vehicle slowly left, right, forward, or backward as needed until the pile is vertical to the ground.
5. The loader arms should be lowered as the pile is driven into the ground.
6. Drive the pile to the desired depth. Raise the Driver and move on to the next pile.
6.2 Operation Precautions
1) Stop operation as soon as hoses vibrate excessively.
Excessive vibration of high and low pressure hoses of the breaker calls for an instant disassembly and repair.
Contact the nearest service station.
For caution’s sake, check oil leakage at the bank-head.
2) Avoid all blank hammering.
Continuous blank hammering will not only damage front head and loosen and break bolts, but also adversely affect
base machine.
Blank hammering occurs when proper position of the Tool is not applied to the Post driver hammer or the Tool is
used as a lever. (Sound changes during blank hammering.)
3) Operate the Post driver hammer at proper engine speed.
Driving the pile at the specified engine speed.
Raising engine speed more than necessary does not strengthen the force but increase oil temperature to the detriment of
the pistons and the valves.
www.tmgindustrial.com 9/22 Toll Free:1-877-761-2819

4) Do not allow the Post driver hammer to fall to drive the pile.
Dropping the Post driver hammer onto the pile will apply excessive force to the Post driver hammer or the base
machine, causing damage to many parts of the Post driver hammer and the base machine.
Let the driver press the pile to drive it into the ground.
5) Do not lift things with the Post driver hammer.
Lifting materials by hanging wire in the bracket or the Tool not only causes damage to the Post driver hammer
but also is very dangerous when operating.
6) Warm up base machine engine Prior to Operation
Especially in winter, the base machine engine should be warmed up for five to ten minutes (about oil temperature
30℃~40℃/80℉~105℉) before Post driver hammer operation.
Follow the Instruction Book for the Base Machine for warming-up of the engine.
7) Do not touch the Tool during post driver hammer operation.
During Post driver hammer operation, the Post driver hammer parts can reach high temperatures.
8) When operating the Post driver hammer you must use the ear, eye and breathing protection.
9) Greasing danger
With the Post driver hammer mounted on the machine, apply down pressure on the Driver Tool.
And fill cavity with the recommended grease through the marked grease nipple.
10) Always wear the eye protection when removing the stop pin.
Remove the stop pin by doing it in and out with a punch and hammer.

7. REPAIR & INSPECTION
7.1 Periodic Maintenance (Every 100 hours)
1) Remove the tool and all grease from the bushing
Do not use a pressure washer, steam or solvents as they damage the seals.
Chuck for chips or cracks inside the housing and on the bushing surfaces.
Cracks and chips could indicate that :
①Lubrication so insufficient
②Grease type is not appropriate
③Blank hammering and side loading is occurring and hammer is being operated improperly.
2) Check wear on Tool Pin
Examine the shoulders and side surface.
If they are worn or deformed, rotate or replace as required.
3) Check wear on chisel holder bushing
Replace tool, bushing or both where the combined wear exceeds 5mm.
Some bushings are grooved to provide even grease distribution.
Replace the bushings when the grooves are worn through.
Excess bushing wear causes tool misalignment to the piston, causing premature Post driver hammer failure.
4) Replace damaged or worn parts
Then wipe all components clean, including the lubrication port.
Hand grease the tool shank and inside the chuck bushings before placing it back into the hammer.

7.3 Regular Post driver hammer inspection & Maintenance
Regular inspection is essential for keeping the post driver hammer operating in the best condition.
Consult with the service station for regular inspection and maintenance.
Customers are recommended to contact the local dealer for inspection within six months after delivery.
7.4 Replacement of the Driver Pounder
The Driver Pounder is deformed by burrs occurring after long-term use. When a Driver Pounder tip is worn out,
The Driver Pounder is liable to slip. Then, sharpen the Driver Pounder tip. Grinding the Driver Pounder tip many times to
sharpen the edge, but it will make the heat-treated hardened with a new Driver Pounder. If the gap between the Driver
Pounder and the Driver Pounder bush becomes large, the piston will fail exactly to hit the upper part of the Driver Pounder,
resulting in damage. When the gap is found to be over 9mm, replace the Driver Pounder bush together with the Driver
Pounder.
