Danuser 9000 Postmaster/SlabBlaster - Manual (Page 5)

• Consult local utility companies to make certain there are no buried gas lines, electrical cables, etc., in
the work area before beginning operation.
• Do not drive posts near underground utility lines.
• Stay away from power lines when transporting, raising, or operating the Postmaster/Slab Blaster.
• Before you operate the attachment, check over pins and connections to be sure all are securely in
place. Make sure Postmaster/Slab Blaster is securely latched to the vehicle.
• Keep hands, feet, hair, jewelry, and clothing away from all moving and/or rotating parts.
• Never place yourself between the vehicle and the attachment.
• Never allow anyone under the attachment at any time.
• Keep clear of the Postmaster/Slab Blaster while in operation. Never position, align, or support the
post by hand or with any tool when the hammer is in operation.
• Do not exceed the vehicle's rated operating load. Use sufficient counterweights. Move the vehicle
slowly when the attachment is raised.
• Carry the load low. A heavy load can cause instability of the vehicle. Use extreme care during
travel. Slow down on turns and watch out for bumps. Use all safety devices, including a seat belt, as
recommended in the vehicle operator’s manual.
• Do not operate the Postmaster/Slab Blaster on steep hillsides. When operating the Postmaster/Slab
Blaster on uneven or hilly terrain, position the vehicle with the attachment uphill. With the
attachment downhill, the vehicle could tip when attempting to raise the attachment. Consult your
vehicle operator’s manual for maximum incline allowable.
• Always shut off the vehicle engine and remove the key before dismounting the vehicle, adjusting the
attachment, or servicing the Postmaster/Slab Blaster. Never leave equipment unattended with the
vehicle running.
• Never attempt repairs or adjustments while the equipment is in operation.
• Before disconnecting hydraulic lines or fittings be sure to relieve all pressure by cycling all hydraulic
controls after shutdown. Remember hydraulic systems are under pressure whenever the engine is
running and may hold pressure after shutdown.
• Always use care when operating the Postmaster/Slab Blaster. Most accidents occur because of
neglect or carelessness.
