WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death:
•
Consult your power machine Operator's Manual for
operating capacity, lifting capacity, and operating
specifications. Exceeding rated capacities and
specifications can result in loss of control, roll-over or other
serious hazard.
•
Use a power machine of adequate size for the load being
carried. An undersized machine can roll over when raising
the loader arms due to high center of gravity.
•
Lightweight power machines may need weight added to the
rear to maintain steering control and prevent forward and/
or side tipping. Consult your power machine Operator's
Manual to determine proper weight requirements and
maximum limitations.
Torque Requirements
Refer to "Torque Values Chart" on page 32 to determine
correct torque values when tightening hardware.
Before You Start
Make sure the intended power machine conforms to the
requirements provided on this page. Also, read and
understand this Operator's Manual for your Model SA10
Post Hole Digger. An understanding of how it works will
aid in its assembly and set-up.
Go through the "Assembly Checklist" on this page
before assembling the Post Hole Digger. To speed up
your assembly task and make the job safer, have all
needed parts and equipment readily at hand.
