ASSEMBLY & MOUNTING
The following procedure is recommended for assem-
bling the Skid Steer Mounted Post Driver.
Carefully follow instructions for final assembly.
Before attempting assembly check the following items.
Having all the needed parts and equipment readily at
hand will speed up your assembly task and will make the
job as safe as possible.
• Check for fasteners and pins that were shipped with
the post driver. Some hardware coming from the fac-
tory has been installed in the location where it will be
used. If a part or fastener is temporarily removed for
assembly reasons, remember where it goes. Keep the
parts separated.
• Have a fork lift or loader along with chains and safety
stands that are sized for the job ready for the
assembly task.
• Have a minimum of 2 people at hand during assembly.
• Check to see that all nuts are properly tightened.
Refer to the “exploded view” of the skid steer mounted
post driver on pages 25 thru 35 of this manual. Become
familiar with the relationship of the various components
and parts shown.
1.
Connect the post driver base mount (manual or
hydraulic) to the “universal” quick-attach plate on
your skid steer loader. Flip the spring loaded latch
pins to the “latch lock” position and check to see they
are properly latched.
Raise the unit about 2
1
/
2
ft. from the ground and
lower the adjustable stabilizer legs on each side of
the mounting frame. Pin each leg into position.
Operate the bucket tilt cylinders until the mounting
frame is vertical and then lower until the legs are
supporting the unit.
2.
The hydraulic base mount is shipped with the
hydraulic system partially plumbed and ready to
accept the driving ram assembly. The multi-spool
valve and mounting plate may be detached and shrink
wrapped in place. Simply remove the shrink wrapping,
swing the mounting plate into position and install the
mounting bolts.
3.
Prepare the driving ram for attaching to the hydraulic
base mount. To do this, first lower the driving ram to
its lowest transport position. The driving ram is
shipped in the upper transport position for compact-
ness. To lower the ram, pull the transport lock pin,
allow the ram to lower (approximately 10 inches) and
replace the transport lock pin. This should be done
with the Driver laying on the shipping pallet. The ram
is spring loaded downward. Stand clear of the ram
when the pin is removed (see Figure A).
NOTE:
This step of repositioning the driving ram is
necessary in order to make the mounting bolts at the
correct height when the unit is stood upright for the
next step.
FIG. A
4.
Attach the driving ram assembly to the hydraulic
base mount. A chain hoist or forklift can be used to
stand the driving ram assembly to its normal
(vertical) working position. Take care not to damage
the hydraulic cylinder or carriage when lifting the
unit. Once the ram assembly is upright, remove the
six (6) nuts and lock washers from the mounting
bolts.
Align the mounting bolts with the six (6) holes in
the mounting channel and secure with the nuts and
lock washers. The mounting channel on the hydraulic
base mount will probably have to be positioned by
hand to get the mounting channel and carriage lined
up.
NOTE:
The mount is shipped with straps that lock the
hydraulic cylinders. To assemble the unit, it may be
necessary to remove the straps. It is important to re-
install the straps once the unit is assembled.
NOTE:
The driving ram assembly will be unstable
until the hydraulic cylinders are filled with oil once all
plumbing is completed.
NOTE:
One mounting bolt goes into a blind hole and
does not get a nut and lock washer. Due to trapped
air, it may be necessary to operate the control levers
on the multi-spool valve to position the mounting
channel on the hydraulic base unit. Plastic hose end
caps may have to be removed to allow trapped air in
the hydraulic cylinders to escape.
DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO CONNECT THE VALVE TO THE SKID
STEER AND OPERATE IT AT THIS TIME.
When
properly mounted, the bottom of the driving ram
should be resting on the same level surface as the
mounting base.
