Page 10: Equipment Safety Precautions
EQUIPMENT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING! KNOW WHERE UTILITIES ARE Observe overhead electrical and other utility lines. Be sure equipment will clear them. When digging, call your local utilities for location of buried utility lines, gas, water, and sewer, as well as any other hazard you may encounter. WARNING! EXPOSURE TO RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST ALONG WITH OTHER HAZARDOUS DUSTS MAY CAUSE SE-... - Page 11 EQUIPMENT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TRANSPORTING THE AUGER • Travel only with the earth auger in a safe transport position to prevent uncontrolled movement. Drive slowly over rough ground and on slopes. • Tether the earth auger with a chain, if necessary, to prevent uncontrolled swinging of the auger when moving from hole to hole.

Page 12: Decals
DECALS GENERAL INFORMATION The following decals are reductions of the actual decals used on auger drives. Use this information to order replacements for lost or damaged decals. Be sure you understand all decals before operating the attachment. They contain information you need to know for attach- ment safety. -
Page 13: Installation
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL INFORMATION Find the mounting kit diagram and parts list for the kit you have received. Study the diagram and familiarize yourself with the names of the various parts. This knowledge will assist you in understanding these instructions. Read these instructions carefully before attempting to mount the auger. - Page 14 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Install the auger drive unit to pendulum mount with pivot pin provided with the drive unit assembly. Install the auger to the drive unit with the bolt and nut provided with the drive unit as- sembly. Refer to the “HYDRAULIC SYSTEM HOOK-UP” section in this manual for hydraulic connection instructions and recommendations.
- Page 15 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Attach the swivel (#23835) to the mounting plate with pivot pin #23839 provided. Secure the pin in place with safety pin #10040. Install the drive unit to the swivel using the pin provided with the drive unit assembly. Install the auger to the drive unit with the bolt and nut provided with the drive unit as- sembly.

Page 16: Hydraulic System Hook-Up Instructions
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM HOOK-UP INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL INFORMATION Once the installation instructions are complete, you are now ready to make the hydrau- lic connections necessary to operate your earth drill. READ AND UNDERSTAND SAFETY INFORMATION PRIOR TO MAKING HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS. Your equipment dealer is in the best position to advise you as to where the best place on your machine is to make the hydraulic connections to power your earth drill drive unit. -
Page 17: Operating Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS All three auger drives dig the same except the 8K2 has an additional two speed “shift on de- mand” feature. 8K2 TWO SPEED AUGER DRIVE: An increased demand on the auger drive will cause the pressure of the operating vehicle to in- crease. -
Page 18: Storage
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS If necessary, repeat steps 7 & 8 to obtain a cleaner hole. In some soil conditions or when excessive down pressure is applied, auger may “screw” itself into the ground and become stuck causing earth drill to stall. If this happens, reverse the auger rotation (counter-clockwise) by moving the control valve lever to the reverse position and slowly raise the auger. -
Page 19: Lift Points
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS LIFT POINTS Lifting points are identified by lifting decals where required. Lifting at other points is un- safe and can damage attachment. Do not attach lifting accessories around cylinders or in any way that may damage hoses or hydraulic components. • Attach lifting accessories to unit at recommended lifting points. • Bring lifting accessories together to a central lifting point. • Lift gradually, maintaining the equilibrium of the unit. WARNING! Use lifting accessories (chains, slings, ropes, shackles and etc.) that are capable of supporting the size and weight of your attachment. Secure all lifting accessories in such a way to prevent unintended disengagement. Failure to do so could result in the attachment falling and causing serious personal injury or death. -
Page 20: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE GENERAL INFORMATION Your McMillen earth drill was designed to be virtually maintenance free. Very little effort is needed to keep it in top working condition. It is however, important to follow these proce- dures to get full performance and longevity out of the unit. LUBRICATION Change planetary gear reduction oil with API-GL-5, 80W or 90W lubricant after the first 50 hours of operation and then every 1000 hours or 12 months, whichever comes first. -
Page 21: Planetary Gearbox
MAINTENANCE PLANETARY GEARBOX Change gear box oil using API-GL-5, 80W or 90W lubricant after the first 50 hours of operation and then every 1000 hours or 12 months, whichever comes first. Check oil level fre- quently to maintain proper lubrication. Oil should be at operating temperature when checking or changing gear box oil. NOTE: Place planetary in a horizontal position and wait 5 minutes before removing drain plug. This will give the oil a chance to drain from gears/bearings and therefore show an accurate oil level. - Page 22 THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY BLANK 75623...

Page 28: Specifications
SPECIFICATIONS GENERAL INFORMATION The X6075, X8075 and 8K2 augers require a heavy duty mounting kit with a maximum auger di- ameter of 48”. A hydraulic motor drives the auger through a sealed planetary gear reduction. The heavy duty gear design gives these units a long life with minimal maintenance and service costs. McMillen planetary drives are completely sealed with all moving components running in oil for total lubrication on a constant basis. All models feature reverse rotation for quick backout when obstructions are encountered. The system’s hydraulic relief valve protects the units from damage when the auger hits large immovable objects.
