Operation
Preparing the Fuel
Always refuel the Post Driver in a well
ventilated area. Use the mixing container
supplied to mix the petrol and 2 stroke
oil (see specifi cations) in the ratio of
25:1. Fill the fuel tank of the Post Driver
(do not overfi ll). The fuel level should
not exceed the neck of 'Fuel Tank Filling
Port'. If you spill fuel during refi ll, clean
up and then wait until the fuel has
evaporated completely before restarting
the machine. After refuelling, tighten
and check the lid of Fuel tank before
operation.
Recommended mixing ratios:

Operation within 20 hours 20:1
Operation of over 20 hours 25:1

Before starting the Post Driver, prime the
engine with fuel by pressing the fl exible
plastic bulb several times to pump the
fuel into the carburettor. If the engine is
cool, close the choke, but make sure you
open it after starting.
With the Post Driver upright. Hold the
upper part of handle tightly with one
hand while the other pulls the pulling
handle of starter for over 50cm quickly.
Do not let the pulling handle go back
freely in repeated pulling but hold it
