Storage

Proper procedure for long term storage of the Hole

and damage. If the Hole Digger is not to be operated
for a period of 30 days or more, proceed to store as
follows:
1) Clean all accumulated dirt and grease from the Hole
Digger utilizing an approved safety solvent.

supplied by the engine manufacturer detailing long
term storage of the engine.
3) Check all visible parts for wear, breakage or
damage. Order any part required to make the
necessary repair. This will avoid a needless delay
when operating the Hole Digger at next use.

transmission final driveshaft to prevent the formation of
rust.

Always store the Hole Digger with the operator handle
level with the ground.
