Technical data
SolutionCauseProblem
Check output with flow and pressure testerNo flow from supplyLPD fails to operate
Check that pressure feed is connected to P
port on the LPD
Hoses incorrectly fitted
Remove and check, clean all associated
parts
Main spool jammed or damaged
Remove and check for damage and seizing
marks
Striker piston seized
Check main relief valve and flowInsufficient available pressureLPD lacks striking power
Re-charge the accumulator, see service
manual
Low accumulator gas pressure (Normally
associated with violent shaking of hoses)
Check that the flow rate is correctInsufficient flowLPD runs slow
Warm up the oil supply, optimum
temperature 30–70°C (86–158°F)
Cold oil
Check return line back-pressure, pressure
must not exceed 10 bar
High return line back pressure
Use only Hydraulic Oil according to specIncorrect oil
Locate and replace defect couplingQuick release coupling defect
Check oil supply has adequate cooling,
temperature must not exceed 80°C (176°F)
Inadequate cooling of hydraulic oilLPD runs hot

Oil flow range setting
The post driver is factory set to work on 30 lpm (ETHMA D). In case there is a need the post driver can be
adjusted to work on 40 lpm. In order to do this the nipple on the T-port of the valvehousing must be replaced
with another nipple with restrictor inside. For the optional nipples, see the Spare parts list. The needed nipples
for this setting are not supplied with the post driver, they have to be ordered separately.
