Danger: Never allow anyone to stand close to the auger and driveline when
Warning: Never leave the tractor seat while the implement is in operation. Do
not assist or allow someone else to assist the implement while in operation.
Operating the Post Hole Digger:
Warning: The auger point should be raised no higher than 12" above the ground when engaging the PTO,
•
(Fig. 2).
The auger must be vertical to the ground, (Fig. 3). Adjust to the lift arm as necessary to place the auger in a
•
vertical position to the ground. Do not engage the PTO at this time. With the auger point off the ground,
slowly lower it until the auger point is touching the ground. If the auger is not vertical, move the tractor
forward or backward to get in the proper working position.
Set the tractor brakes and take tractor out of gear.
•
Lower the auger to the ground. With the tractor engine in idle, slowly engage the PTO.
•
Increase the speed as required to move dirt out of the hole.
•
Do not exceed 540 rpms! Operate at or below 540 rpms. Higher speeds can cause equipment failure and
•
serious injury or death.
Depending on the soil conditions, it may be necessary to hold the hydraulic controls in position to assist
•
digging.
Never allow anyone to use their body weight to press the auger into the ground.
•
Before each use, check the condition of the cutting edges and auger point. If the auger is having trouble
•
penetrating the ground, it may be time to replace the cutting edges and point.
Once the auger digs down approximately 12", raise the auger to clear the dirt from the hole. Do not raise
•
the auger completely out of the hole. Once the dirt is cleared, lower auger and repeat the process until the
predetermined depth is achieved.
