Do not

 lend or rent 

your post driver with-

out the instruction manuals. Be sure that 

anyone using it understands the informa-

tion contained in these manuals.

Do not

 use this post 

driver for any purpose 

other than driving posts into the ground. 

Misuse may result in personal injury or 

property damage, including damage to the 

machine.

Minors should never 

be allowed to use this 

power tool. Bystanders, especially chil-

dren, and animals should not be allowed in 

the area where it is in use. 

NEVER

 let your 

power tool run unat-

tended. When it is not in use, shut it off 

and make sure that unauthorized persons 

do not use it.

Do not operate this 

post driver unless the 

operator is wearing safety glasses, safety 

shoes, hearing protection, gloves or any 

other safety equipment advised by, ANSI, 

NIOSH, OSHA, or any other safety 

regulatory agency, or the employer or the 

owner of this post driver.

Hearing protection is required

 as the 

post driver emits noise at 100 dB level. 

Bystanders should, at a minimum, wear 

safety glasses and hearing protection while 

in the presence of this power tool during 

operation. If not wearing protective gear, 

bystanders should keep a distance of 20 

feet (6.00m) from the post driver while in 

operation.

Prolonged use

 of a 

power tool (or other 

machines) exposing the operator to vibra-

tions may produce white finger disease 

(Raynaud’s phenomenon) or carpal tunnel 

syndrome. These conditions reduce the 

hand’s ability to feel and regulate tem-

perature, produce numbness and burning 

sensations and may cause nerve and circu-

lation damage and tissue necrosis.

Not all factors contributing to white finger 

disease are known, but cold weather, 

smoking and diseases or physical condi-

tions that affect blood vessels and blood 

transport, as well as high vibration levels 

and long periods of exposure to vibration 

are mentioned as factors in the develop-

ment of white finger disease. In order to 

reduce the risk of white finger disease and 

carpal tunnel syndrome, please note the 

following:
•  Ranch Pro

 has been designed with 

Rhino

®

 CIS

 anti-vibration handles to 

reduce the transmission of vibrations 

created by the machine to the opera-

tor’s hands. An anti-vibration system is 

recommended for those persons using 

power tools on a regular or sustained 

basis.

•  The handle opposite the throttle handle 

has been fitted with an EPDM foam 

grip further dampening vibrations.

•  Wear gloves and keep your hands 

warm.

•  Ensure that the EPDM foam and the 

spring dampening system are in good 

working condition.
