chuck adapter with a minimum of 1/8” (3 mm) clearance and not 

over 5/8” (15.9 mm) clearance. The post driver piston should hit 

the post as squarely as possible. If the fit is too loose, damage 

may be caused to the driver, chuck, or chuck adapter causing 

them to fail. Chucks and chuck adapters wear out and should 

be replaced as needed. Inspect your driver’s chuck and chuck 

adapters frequently. If you are in doubt, return your chuck, chuck 

adapter, or any other part to the factory, freight prepaid, for a free 

inspection.

SAFETY EQUIPMENT:

 Always wear the 

proper safety equipment when operating the 

post driver. This includes hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, 

ear protection, back supports, antivibration gloves, and any other 

safety equipment for the operator and other personnel near the 

driver as advised by, ANSI, NIOSH, OSHA, or any other safety 

regulatory agency, or the employer or the owner of this post 

driver. 

SAFETY CHECKS:

 Check your driver daily 

for loose bolts, cracks, bulges or abnormalities 

in welds, castings, chuck or chuck adapters, top cover, piston, 

air line, or any other part. Do not repair any parts. Immediately 

replace excessively worn or defective parts with new parts. Do 

not run the unit with damaged or defective parts. If you are in 

doubt, return your driver, chuck, chuck adapter, or any other part 

to the factory, freight prepaid, for a free inspection.

REMEMBER ALWAYS PUT SAFETY 

FIRST!

 Do not operate the post driver if any 

unsafe conditions are present.

Do not put anything but a post into the chuck 

on your driver.

Do not operate your post driver unless it is on 

a post to be driven. Operation of the driver 

without it driving on a post could damage it.

WARNING LABELS:

 If your post driver’s warning label is 

marred or destroyed, replace it immediately. Simply call Rhino 

Tool Company and we will send you a new warning label at no 

charge.

LUBRICATION: YOU MUST OIL YOUR POST DRIVER 

WHILE IT IS OPERATING.

  If using a FRL, set the lubricator 

on your Filter-Regulator-Lubricator in the air line to the post 

driver so it will deliver approximately 10 drops of oil per 

minute. Preferably the Filter-Regulator-Lubricator should not 

be separated from the driver by more than 25 ft. (79 m) of hose. 

Make certain that any new air hose between the Filter-Regulator-

Lubricator and the post driver has been thoroughly lubricated. 

The procedure for lubricating the hose is as follows—Remove 

the air hose from your post driver and 

AFTER SECURING 

THE AIR LINE SO IT CAN’T WHIP AROUND TO INJURE 

SOMEONE
