Before Use Checklist

Ensure that you carry out all procedures below before starting the engine or operating the equipment.

All procedures described are generic in nature and slight variations between different models may exist.

Failure to follow the checklist and carry out the procedures correctly may result in making the product

warranty void.

Air Filter

The air filter is used to prevent dirt and other particles from possibly entering the engine and causing internal

damage to it. The air filter requires regular maintenance.

Always check the air filter before starting the engine.

Fuel

Petrol/fuel/gasoline is extremely flammable – keep clear of naked flames or other ignition

sources. • The engine must be cool before refuelling. • Always pre-mix the fuel before

placing it in the fuel tank.

Adequately fill the fuel tank with the correct fuel type.

• Use non-ethanol unleaded mixed at a 25:1 ratio with 2-stroke engine oil (higher RON values and good

quality 2-stroke oil will provide best engine performance). Do not use old or contaminated fuel/oil. Fuel/oil

mix ratio examples are shown below.

Petrol (Litre) 1 2 5 10 Gas (US Gal) 0.5 1 2 3

Oil (Millilitre) 40 80 200 400 Oil (Fl. Oz) 2.56 5.12 10.24 15.36

To fill or top up fuel:

1. Place the machine in a horizontal position on a flat and level surface with the fuel filler cap facing up.

2. Clean the machine around the fuel filler so that no dirt or other material enters the engine when the cap is

removed.

3. Remove (rotate left) the fuel filler cap.

4. Using a funnel, carefully fill the tank with fuel. Do not fill above the top of the strainer (if equipped) or

otherwise overfill the tank.

5. When finished, reinstall (rotate right) the fuel filler cap until firm. Wipe away any residual fuel from the

machine. If fuel has been spilt, move the machine away from the spillage before starting the engine.

Priming the Fuel System

When an engine is new or has been completely run out of fuel it may be necessary to “prime” the fuel system

before attempting to start the engine. This means removing any air from the fuel line. To prime:

1. Ensure the fuel tank is filled with fuel.

2. Press the fuel primer bulb repeatedly until you feel resistance or pressure in the bulb – this indicates that it is

full of fuel. Fuel will also be visible in the fuel intake tube.

HP260 2 Stroke Post Driver

Operation

Before use, ensure that there are no electrical cables, gas, or water pipes etc or other buried or unseen

hazards in the work area. Contact the applicable utility providers for assistance. • The machine should

be operated on ground that is suitable for driving posts. Do not attempt to drive posts into set concrete,

rock, tree roots, or other extremely hard surfaces. • Do not use the machine without a piling socket

attached.

Recommended petrol to oil mixing ratio is 25:1

•

DO NOT use pure gasoline/petrol (no two-stroke engine oil) for fuel.

•

Re-fuel only in a well-ventilated location.

•

DO NOT add too much fuel in the fuel tank. Do not leave any fuel in the oil hole. If any fuel is spilt, please

remove completely, or wait for it to evaporate fully before starting the post driver.

•

After refuelling, tighten the fuel tank cap.

Starting

1. Before first starting, press the transparent fuel primer bulb repeatedly to fill the carburettor with fuel. Close

the choke when the engine is cool but open the choke only when the engine is hot.

2. Before working, secure the piling socket into the iron head.

3. Put the post driver flat on the ground. Hold the handle with one of your hands and quickly pull the recoil

handle for about 50cm with the other hand. Do not let the handle go back freely while repeatedly pulling but

hold it and put it down gently to protect the starter.

4. Open the choke fully when the engine has started.

HP260 2 Stroke Post Driver

5. After the engine has started, it should be set to low speed for about 3 to 5 minutes to warm-up the post

driver.

6. When the engine is warm enough, adjust the impact energy as needed.

NOTE: FOR THE FIRST 24 HOURS, THE POST DRIVER’S WORKLOAD SHOULD BE SET IN LOW OR

MEDIUM SPEED TO EXTEND ITS SERVICE LIFE. DO NOT USE THE BIGGEST SPEED ACCELERATOR

YET.

7. Select a medium-speed engine run for best results.

8. DO NOT use the post driver in a high-speed setting.

Stopping

1. Slowly put the throttle lever to the zero position. Let the post driver run idle for 3-5 minutes.

2. Press the flame-out button to stop.

Environmental Considerations

Altitude – If the engine is being used in altitudes at or above 1500m (approximately 5000'), adjustments to the

carburettor may be required. This is because there is less oxygen in the air as altitude increases, which

effectively "enriches" the ratio of fuel to air going into the engine and the higher the altitude, the richer the fuel

mixture becomes. If the engine is being permanently operated at high altitude, it is recommended to have an

authorized service centre make the necessary carburettor adjustments. If the engine is used occasionally at

altitude (not extreme altitudes), no adjustments should be required, however, a slight decrease in engine

performance can be expected.

Operating the Post Driver

The machine is used for driving "star pickets" and hollow metal posts etc. into the ground. For example, to erect

simple fencing etc. The machine operates by driving a "hammer" against the top of the post many times per

second, effectively forcing it into the ground. The machine is designed for manual operation, where the operator

both holds and controls it. Note the following:

•

Place the post/star picket into the required position before driving it.

•

Adjust the throttle, which controls the hammer action, only when ready to begin driving the post.

•

Hold the machine as straight as possible when in use to ensure that posts are driven in vertically.

To drive a post:

1. Start the machine and allow it to warm up.

2. Position the post in the required location.

3. Place the machine over the post so that it rests on it.

4. Adjust the throttle for the desired hammering speed.

5. Drive the post into the ground as required – there is no need to push down on the machine.

6. Release the throttle – this disengages the hammer action.

7. Lift the machine from the post.

Maintenance

Running combustion engines in confined areas CAN KILL IN MINUTES. Engine exhaust fumes

contain carbon-monoxide – a deadly gas that you cannot smell or see. NEVER run a

combustion engine in confined areas EVEN IF windows and doors are open. ONLY run

combustion engines OUTDOORS and away from doors, windows and vents. • Petrol/fuel/gasoline is extremely

flammable – keep clear of naked flames or other ignition sources. • Do not have the engine running during inspection

and maintenance unless specifically required. • The engine should be cool enough to touch before performing

maintenance activities. • Some maintenance activities described may be beyond the scope of some users. For

procedures that you are not comfortable with or have the tools or experience for, have the unit serviced by a service

centre or qualified technician.

To keep the engine performing at optimal efficiency, regular checks and maintenance is required. Proper care

and maintenance ensure best performance and longest service life.

The maintenance schedule below specifies preventative maintenance checks and necessary maintenance tasks

and how often they should be performed. The schedule applies to multiple engines; some engines may not

include some components, so maintenance on those components is not applicable.

Air Filter

•

Check air filter regularly. Any debris blocking the cover of the air filter will reduce engine power and can

shorten cylinder life.

•

If the air filter is very dirty, clean it with mild detergent and warm water, and gently wring it dr. After cleaning

the filter, put a few drops of oil on the dry air filter and then re-install it. The air filter should be replaced if

damaged, particularly if the environment is dirty or dusty, shortening the maintenance cycle.

Fuel Filter

If the fuel filter is clogged, the speed will slow down and there will be weak impact of the post driver.

1. Open the tank lid with a metal hook, then take out the fuel filter to clean it.

2. When cleaning the fuel filter, clean also the fuel tank.

Carburettor

The fuel tank and carburettor generally have residual oil on them. This will turn into debris after an extended

period, potentially blocking the oil line and causing the engine to not work. If the post driver will not be used for

more than one week, drain out the fuel from the fuel tank completely. Press the fuel primer bulb repeatedly to

drain out the oil.

Spark Plug

To ensure normal operation of the engine, the spark plug gap should be moderate. Use a wire brush to remove

any debris and sediment. Reasonable spark plug gap is 0.5 to 0.7mm.

Muffler

Regularly maintain the muffler. Use a screwdriver to remove any debris on the body or on the muffler exhaust.

Gearbox Lubrication

The manufacturer has lubricated the gearbox. It can support up to 36 hours of work. Users do not need to add

more grease within the 36 hours, otherwise the post driver will not work. Using #1 – 1.5 high-temperature

grease, add 50-60g when working the post driver for more than 36 hours.

Open the gear box cover, lubricate the gear and the connecting rod regularly with lubricating grease.

Open the hammer socket, lubricate the piston and impact hammer regularly with lubricating grease.

Cylinder Heat Sink

Regularly remove any dust or debris to ensure proper cooling of the cylinder, as the post driver is an air-cooler

type. If dust accumulates on the heat sink, it will directly affect proper cooling.

Troubleshooting

Running combustion engines in confined areas CAN KILL IN MINUTES. Engine exhaust

fumes contain carbon-monoxide – a deadly gas that you cannot smell or see. NEVER run

a combustion engine in confined areas EVEN IF windows and doors are open. ONLY run

combustion engines OUTDOORS and away from doors, windows, and vents. • Petrol /

fuel / gasoline is extremely flammable – keep clear of naked flames or other ignition

sources. • Do not have the engine running during inspection and maintenance unless specifically

required. • The engine should be cool enough to touch before performing maintenance activities. • Some

maintenance activities may be beyond the scope of some users. Do NOT attempt procedures that you

are not comfortable with, or do not have the necessary tools, experience, or knowledge for – take the

unit to an authorised service centre or qualified technician for servicing.
