Service and Maintenance
The Titan Gas-Powered Post Driver has been manufactured and designed to give you years of trouble-free
post driving. Always refer to the Honda GX35 manual for service and maintenance guidelines on your engine.
The following maintenance guidelines will keep your machine in top-performing condition.
Be sure to properly store your Titan Post Driver. DO NOT lay it horizontally on the driver side or resting on
the engine. The recommended method of storing is in an upright position, however, if this is not possible,
place it on a flat surface with the barrel and brush-guard supporting the machine at an angle, so that the top
handle is the highest point.
If you are experiencing an issue with the Honda engine, please contact your local Honda dealer for
parts and service. Titan Post Drivers does not carry the engine parts for Honda, nor does Titan Post
Drivers determine the warranty, which is honored by Honda.
