Ensure there is plenty of clearance behind and next to the Honda GX35
engine, to allow for the escape of hot and toxic exhaust fumes.
•
Only operate the Christie Post Driver in light conditions with good visibility.
Ensure the operator and all other persons nearby wear, at a minimum, the following PPE:
• Class 4 hearing protection, greater than 22dB attenuation
• Safety glasses to AS/NZS1337 medium impact rating
• Gloves suited to manual handling - leather or other abrasion resistant material,
anti-vibration gloves are recommended
• Steel capped boots
Driving in a Post
1) Start motor safely as described in Safe starting .
Stab the post in the required position into the ground.
•
Where many posts are to be driven, doing this in batches will save time.
• A guide wire can be used to assist in maintaining a straight fence line.
2) Lift the Post Driver over and on to the post.
3) Ensure the post is in a vertical position and the Post Driver is on in a parallel plane to the
post. Correct alignment is depicted on the safety label on the receiver barrel.
4) Ensure the operator maintains a stable standing position with feet shoulders width apart.
Keep the body weight balanced.
5) Pull down on the Post Driver with 10-15kg of downward force.
• This is mandatory to ensure the internal hammer mechanism is engaged in the
correct operating position, and reduce unexpected movement while driving.
6) Gently pull the throttle trigger until the hammer action is felt.
7) Once the post has been observed as being driven in to the ground, then fully depress
the throttle trigger and drive the post to the desired depth.
• If the post does NOT drive into the ground cease driving, remove the post and
move along a short distance and retry.
• ! Never drive a post until the receiver barrel touches the ground.
8) Once the desired depth is reached, release the throttle fully so the Honda GX35 Engine is
idling, and the hammer action has stopped.
• ! Never operate the throttle unless the Post Driver is on a post, and between
10-15kg downward force is exerted on the handles.
9) Move to the next post and repeat.
