(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 post 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, anti-vibration 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.

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.
