Troubleshooting the post driver
1.
If the driver sounds like it is operating without any problems but the driver unit does
not function optimally, check that the driver is fully engaged. There is a safety device
that disengages the driver if there is dry firing or faulty ignition. To engage the driver
unit, simply lift the post driver from the post and then place it back on the post again
with a little pressure, so that the driver strikes correctly. Avoid repeated dry firing by
always maintaining a pressure of about 5-6 kg.
2.
Check the type of lubricant that has been applied inside the crankpin. Only ever use
the recommended EP 0 lubricant. EP 0 is a lubricant with a low viscosity for machines
with fast-moving parts that produce high friction. If another type of lubricant is used,
the machine’s output will be degraded and the driver or engine will eventually become
damaged. If the machine has been lubricated with the wrong type of lubricant, follow
the instructions in the maintenance section on the replacement of lubricant in the
crank housing.
3.
Check the amount of lubricant in the crank housing. If the driver is excessively
lubricated, this will reduce the machine’s output and load the engine and gear/pistons’
function. There must be 4–5 spoonfulls of grease visible in the crank housing. There
must be space so that the parts can move freely.
4.
If there is insufficient lubricant this will reduce the machine’s output. Open the crank
housing to visually check the amount of lubricant in the driver. There should always be
some lubricant remnants in the entire machine. In some cases, there will even be
lubricant remnants on the posts. This is a good sign because it means the machine is
self-lubricating.
5.
If it feels as though the machine or driver part does not move as freely as it should,
you can spray WD-40 up into the cylinder to lubricate and clean the area. Pieces of
material may break off from the posts and travel up into the driver area.
6.
If the driver tends become overheated and stops functioning properly, it may require
bleeding or has developed excessive pressure. This can be remedied by making a hole
in the fuel cap’s breathing pipe. Unscrew the fuel cap and remove the black plastic top
to gain access to the rubber gasket in the white insert in the fuel cap. Use a paper clip
or similar very small sharp item to make a hole in the black rubber in the centre of the
breather pipe’s hole. Fit the black plastic top cover and screw the fuel cap in place
again.
7.
In cases where the post becomes displaced or splits and becomes stuck in the cylinder,
do the following:
A.
Remove the six bolts in the bottom section to remove the bottom and top
section.
