the responsibility of the owner(s) and/or operator(s) to
provide for and properly maintain a USDA approved,
spark arresting muffler in an area where specified by
law. Check with appropriate governing agencies for
more specific information. The Hole Digger must not
be operated if the muffler is faulty or has been
removed. Contact with a hot muffler can cause property
damage and/or personal injury. Remain clear of a hot
engine muffler.
7) Maintain all safety and operation decals in proper
condition. If any decal becomes damaged and/or
unreadable, replace with a genuine, factory approved,
replacement part only.
8) The Hole Digger may utilize locking type hexagon
nuts to minimize the effects of vibration. Replace all self
locking hardware with genuine, factory approved,
replacement parts only.
9) Consult the material supplied by the engine
manufacturer for specific information relative to proper
operational, lubrication and storage requirements.
10) Replace the auger teeth/blade and screw bit when
signs of excessive wear are seen. When such parts are
not replaced at proper intervals, undo wear will occur at
the boring head and auger flighting. The end result is
an inverted cone configuration for the auger, which
usually requires complete replacement. FIGURE 1.
Digging with equipment that is past its useful service
life or that have not been properly maintained can
result in substandard productivity, excessive property
damage and/or personal injury. Auger service life can
be greatly extended with constant auger wear part
maintenance.
