2.3. OPERATION SAFETY
In addition to the information provided in the standard Post Pounder manual:
• Only stand behind the controls when operating the self-propelled pounder.
• Chock wheels or lower spike to prevent machine from rolling and to
improve stability.
• Be careful when backing up machine.
• Ensure that your hands are clear of the hugger. Do not hold post in place
while trying to adjust machine position.
• Keep away from spike while operating.
• Hitch must be fully retracted, placing the spike further back from the frame
and making it less likely to penetrate a foot.
• Keep away from wheel arm while operating.
• Do not operate machine without wheel arm pin in place.
• Review the work safety area diagram (Figure 2.1) before using this equip-
ment.
