STORING THE POST DRIVER
Following operation, or when disconnecting the post
driver, stop the skid steer unit, set the brakes, lower the
loader, lower the driver ram to it’s lowest position and
engage the transport lock pin. Install the two locking
straps on the angle cylinders and make sure the
adjustable legs are positioned correctly.
Shut off the engine and remove the ignition key.
Lower the ram to the lowest position and engage the
transport lock pin. This position will have the hydraulic
cylinder rod fully retracted into the cylinder and will be
self-protecting.
Make sure driver will be located on a solid surface and
in a location away from children, animals, or traffic area.
Inside storage is preferred to prevent deterioration of the
springs, hoses, etc. For safety, the Driver should be
securely blocked for stability.
To store the skid steer mount with adjustable legs,
locate the transport locking pin into the higher hole
location in the ram and then adjust legs to same height.
Smear grease over the exposed portion of the plated
hydraulic cylinder rod to prevent pitting and rust from
forming.
It is recommended to apply grease or oil to any exposed
portion of the tilt cylinders or threaded cranks to help
prevent rust from forming.
Thoroughly clean the grease zerks before servicing. Dirt
mixed with lubricant will rapidly wear parts and destroy
bearings. Keep it clean. Lubricate all grease fittings prior
to storage.
MAINTENANCE AND
ADJUSTMENTS
Before servicing the machine, engage the parking
brake or place the transmission in “Park,” shut off the
skid steer and remove the key. Relieve all hydraulic
pressure in lines.
Do not get under machine to make measurements
or adjustments without securely blocking implement
first.
• Serious injury or death may result from disengaging the attachment when the attachment is in an
unstable position. Place the attachment in a stable
position before disengaging.
• Hoses for the attachment must be disconnected
before the quick attach is disengaged. Pulling the
attachment with the hoses could result in damage to
the prime mover or the attachment.
If the machine is used in heavy duty conditions, the
maintenance operations must be carried out more
frequently.
Thoroughly clean the grease zerks before servicing. Dirt
mixed with lubricant will rapidly wear parts and destroy
bearings. Keep it clean.
Check the pins at the ends of the loader arms. Make
sure they are locked in place with the linchpins.
Periodically check all bolts to make sure they are tight
(except those that are supposed to be loose).
Check hydraulic hoses. Make sure they are not chafed
or pinched. Replace any damaged hose.
Check hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks. Repair any
leaks immediately. Never use your hand to check for a
hydraulic leak when system is under pressure.
Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately. Do
not use post driver attachment with any damaged parts.
Make certain the safety and instruction decals are
attached to the Post Driver. If they are lost, damaged, or
painted over, order replacements.
Do not work under a raised loader unless it is
securely blocked or held in position. Do not depend
on the hydraulic system to hold loader and attachment in place.
