Safety Warnings
This post driver is intended for use by informed adults only. Never allow children or uninformed persons
to operate this machine. Never let your post driver run unattended. When not in use, turn the driver off
to prevent unauthorized persons from using it.
DO NOT use the Titan Post Driver for any purpose other than driving posts or rods into the ground.
Misuse may result in serious injury to yourself or others, as well as damage to your driver or other
surrounding property.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Always use approved protective equipment. Operators and all other persons in the immediate working
area must wear protective equipment as well. Noise emitted from the machine while working can reach
above 100 decibels, which can also harm others in close proximity. Please consider this while
operating. We recommend the following personal protective equipment:
•
Class 4 (SLC80 = 22.4 dB) hearing protection or greater
•
Impact-resistant (ANSI Z87+) eye protection with side guards
•
Protective gloves
•
Protective boots
Underground Utilities
Prior to driving any object into the ground, always have the location of underground utilities identified by
a certified locating service. You can call 811, the national Call-Before-You-Dig call line, to request this
service. Driving posts or rods into an underground utility line can be extremely dangerous. Severe or
life-threatening personal and property damage can occur. Be absolutely certain you know where the
underground utilities are located. Underground utilities that may be present include, but are not limited
to, electric, gas, telephone, water, sewer, TV cable, or lawn sprinkler lines.
Gasoline and Exhaust
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be seriously injured when not handling and
storing gasoline properly. Always use an approved gas storage container for your fuel. Never attempt
to add gasoline to your Titan Post Driver while the engine is hot or running, as there is a chance of
fumes igniting and causing severe personal damage, as well as damage to your machine.
Never use the Titan Post Driver inside a building or unventilated area. The engine exhaust contains
poisonous carbon monoxide gas that can build up to dangerous levels in closed areas. These fumes
can cause unconsciousness or death.
