SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
Safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new piece of equipment.
Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety features as possible. However, every year many
accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to
handling equipment.You, the operator, can avoid many accidents by observing the following precautions in this
section. To avoid personal injury, study the following precautions and insist those working with you, or for you,
follow them.
In order to provide a better view, certain photographs or illustrations in this manual may show an assembly with
a safety shield removed. However, equipment should never be operated in this condition. Keep all shields in
place. If shield removal becomes necessary for repairs, replace the shield prior to use.
To prevent injury or death, use a power unit equipped with a Roll-Over Protective System (ROPS). Keep foldable ROPS systems in “locked up” position at all times. Keep seat belt fastened.
Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely, is in question –
DON’T TRY IT.
Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized modification may impair the function and/or safety and
could affect the life of the equipment.
In addition to the design and configuration of this implement, including Safety Signs and Safety Equipment,
hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper
training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of the machine. Refer also
to Safety Messages and Operation Instructions in each of the appropriate sections of the power unit and implement manuals. Pay close attention to the Safety Signs affixed to the power unit and the implement.
Replace any CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER or instruction safety sign that is not readable or is missing. Do
not paint over, remove or deface any safety signs or warning signs on your equipment. Observe all safety signs
and practice the instruction on them. Review the safety instructions with all users annually.
Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which can hinder alertness or coordination while operating this
equipment. Consult your doctor about operating this machine while taking prescription or over the counter
medications.
This equipment is dangerous to children and persons unfamiliar with its operation. The operator should be a
responsible adult familiar with farm machinery and trained in this equipment’s operations. Do not allow per-
sons to operate or assemble this unit until they have read this manual and have developed a thorough
understanding of the safety precautions and of how it works.
EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES
Personal protection equipment including hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are recommended
during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving the implement.

5
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
Never operate the power unit and post driver until you and the operator have read and completely understand
this manual, the power unit operator’s manual, and each of the safety messages found on the safety signs on
the power unit and post driver.
Make sure that all operating and service personnel know that in the event hydraulic fluid penetrates the skin,
it must be surgically removed within a few hours by a physician familiar with this form of injury, or gangrene
may result.
Always use two people or a mechanical lift device to handle heavy, unwieldy components during assembly,
installation, removal, or moving the driver.
Never place any part of your body where it would be in danger if movement should occur during assembly,
installation, operation, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving the driver.
Before you operate the driver, check over all pins, bolts and connections to be sure all are securely in place.

in the work area before beginning operation.
Do not allow anyone who is not familiar with the safety rules and operation instructions to use this Post Driver.
Never allow children to operate or be around this Post Driver.
Clear the work area of objects which might cause operator to trip or fall.
Make sure that all operating and service personnel know that in the event hydraulic fluid penetrates the skin,
it must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form of injury, or gangrene may
result.
Ensure post driver is properly mounted, adjusted and in good operating condition.
Personal protection equipment including hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are recommended
during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving the implement.
Do not allow long hair, loose fitting clothing or jewelry to be around moving parts.
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS!
Power units
with or without attachments can often be noisy enough to cause permanent, partial hearing loss.
We recommend that you wear hearing protection on a full-time basis if the noise in the Operator’s position
exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db on a long-term basis can cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90db adjacent to the Operator over a long-term basis may cause permanent, total hearing loss. NOTE: Hearing loss from
loud noise (from tractors, chain saws, radios, and other such sources close to the ear) is cumulative over a lifetime without hope of natural recovery.
