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 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. 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.
