SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
OPERATIONAL SAFETY (continued)
Inspect the entire machine periodically as indicated in the Maintenance Section of this manual. Look for loose
fasteners, worn or broken parts, pinched hydraulic hoses, and leaky or loose fittings. Make sure all pins have
cotter pins and washers. Serious injury may occur from not maintaining this machine in good working order.
Take all possible precautions when leaving unit unattended: Disengage PTO, set parking brake, stop engine
and remove key from ignition. Park in level area.
To prevent rapid wear of U-Joints and possible failure of drivelines, never lift auger point more than 12” off the
ground with PTO operating.
To prevent possible instantaneous driveline failure, never move digger from hole-to-hole or transport while
auger is rotating. This could lead to injury from flying pieces of the failed driveline.
Keep hands, feet, hair, jewelry, and clothing, away from all moving and/or rotating parts.
To prevent entanglement and possible serious injury or death, never use body weight to try to push auger into
the ground.
Worn edges or a slightly rounded point can seriously effect auger penetration. Check for wear before each use,
replace as necessary.
Do not shovel dirt away from a rotating auger as the shovel can be caught and thrown by the auger.
Do not operate the Post Hole Digger without all safety shields and guards in place.
Always use care when operating a Post Hole Digger.
