4. Insert the post into the post driver. It is possible
to use a optional drive cap.
5. Lift the post and post driver to a vertical position.
For long and heavy posts, two persons may be
required.
6. Activate the trigger. When the post driver is within
reach, grasp the handles.
7. Avoid activating the post driver when it is
removed from the post and ground. This will lead
to increased hydraulic oil temperatures and seal
wear.
8. Do not invert the post driver without first isolating
the hydraulic supply.
9. Do not continue to work if the hoses vibrate
abnormally.
10. Investigate the contents of the material in which
you are going to work. Look out for hidden cables
and pipes, for example electricity, telephone,
water, gas, or sewage lines.
11. Only use the machine for the jobs for which it is
intended.
Stopping the post driver
1. Release the trigger. Press the post driver against
the surface, until the post driver has stopped
completely.
2. Switch off the power supply.
3. Disconnect the hoses and fit the protective caps
on the quick-release couplings.
Disconnecting the post driver
1. Isolate the hydraulic supply.
2. Disconnect the hoses by pulling up the locking
rings and pulling up the couplings. Fit blanking
caps to the hoses.
When taking a break

In the event of a longer break or when leaving the
workplace: Switch off the power supply and then
bleed the machine by activating the start and stop
device.
