Mounting Instructions - Lowe 500 Classic Operator's Manual

1) Connect auger drive (item 2), connecting link (item 3), and mounting bracket (item 4).
2) Attach your choice of auger (item 1) to the shaft of the drive unit. Be sure auger pin is secured.
3) Connect mounting bracket to loader's boom plate (item 5).
4) Secure all locking levers or pins in their proper fully locked position.
5) Connect two hydraulic hoses to the drive unit and then to the loader's auxiliary hydraulic system via proper
quick couplers. (Is your hose length correct?)
6) You are now ready for operation.
CARRY POSITION: Roll back and lower lift arms until the lowest edge of the auger is 18 to 24 inches above the
ground. Transport the auger unit at a slow speed and without rapid side to side movement.
REMOVING THE AUGER SETUP:
1) Roll the loader arms back and lower lift arms until the end of the auger just touches the ground.
2) Stop the engine, disconnect the hydraulic hoses, and release locking levers or pins.
3) Start the engine and move the loader backward while lowering lift arms all the way down.
4) Tilt the loader boom plate forward.
NOTE: As the operator faces the mounted assembly the hoses should exit the top front of the drive unit. If mounted
improperly, damage to the hoses could occur.
Make sure the correct size pins are used to attach the various components, especially the auger.
WARNING: Avoid Tipping, Do Not Operate on Side Hills or Sloping Ground
Where the Machine Does Not Have a Firm, Stable Base.
Do Not Connect Hoses Until Assembly is Properly Mounted and Secured.
Never use a Bucket Clamping Device to Mount the Assembly to a Skid Loader.
Make Certain all Connecting Levers and/or Pins are Properly Locked in Place.
Carry the Assembly in Lowered Position at all Times. Avoid Excessive Swing.
Tether Auger with Locking Chain When Transporting on a Swinging Boom (such as a Backhoe).
Do Not Modify Equipment as Damage or Injury Could Occur.
Failure to Follow Directions May Result in Unstable Operation and/or Serious Injury.
1) Following backhoe manufacturer's instructions, remove the backhoe bucket (then disconnect bucket tilt cylinder
hydraulic hoses if on a backhoe).
2) Assemble drive unit, auger bit, and TBH mounting and then install TBH connecting link in the end of the backhoe
dipper arm.
3) Typically, you can "tap" into the bucket tilt cylinder hydraulic hoses for your hydraulic power. However, your
backhoe dealer is in the best position to advise you as to the best location to attach the auger's hydraulic hoses.
4) It is important to follow the operating tips and safety instructions outlined in the previous section on Mounting for
Skid Loaders. Never allow the auger to swing excessively either during transport or drilling operations.
5) Carry auger as low as practical and curled as close to the loader as possible during transport on the job site.
Completely disconnect and store in a safe, secured position when loader is being transported from jobsite to
jobsite.
