any riders.
DANGER
Personal protection
equipment including hard

shoes, gloves, and ear
plugs are recommended
during assembly,
installation, operation,
maintenance, service,

the attachment.
WARNING
Remove the tilt lock pin.
Raise the Post Driver approximately two feet (2') off the ground with the Post
Driver tilted slightly forward so the grapple jaws are visible.
Drive the vehicle forward and position the grapple jaws around the post
approximately four inches (4") from the top of the post.
Activate the auxiliary hydraulics in the reverse direction for two (2) seconds or
until the grapple jaws are firmly clamped around the post.
Raise the loader arms until the bottom of the post is above the ground.
Position the post in the desired location and lower the Post Driver until the post is
inside the lower portion of the Post Driver.
Intermittently activate auxiliary hydraulics in the forward direction to release the
grapple jaws from the post. The Grapple will rotate up and away from the post.
Continue lowering the Post Driver until the strike plate has moved up and the
weight of the Post Driver is supported by the post.
Place the loader arms in the float position. If the vehicle is not equipped with float,
the loader arms should be lowered, applying down force to the post.
Move the vehicle slowly left, right, forward, or backward as needed until the post
appears vertical to the ground.
Activate the electrical control switch.
Tilt the Post Driver to a vertical position. Activate the auxiliary hydraulics to tilt the
Post Driver clockwise up to 20 degrees (20°). Activating the auxiliary hydraulics in
reverse will tilt the Post Driver counter-clockwise up to 20 degrees (20°).
Deactivate the electrical control switch.
The Post Driver can now be activated by turning the auxiliary hydraulics to the
forward position. If you are not using the loader float position, the loader arms
should be lowered as the post is driven into the ground.
