SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
PREPARATION
Personal protection equipment including hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are recommended
during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving the implement.
Do not allow long hair, loose fitting clothing or jewelry to be around moving parts.
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS!
Tractors with or without implements attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent, partial hearing
loss. We recommend that you wear hearing protection on a full-time basis if the noise in the Operator’s posi-
tion exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db on a long-term basis can cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90db
adjacent to the Operator over a long-term basis may cause permanent, total hearing loss. NOTE: Hearing loss
from loud noise (from tractors, chain saws, radios, and other such sources close to the ear) is cumulative over
a lifetime without hope of natural recovery.
This Post Hole Digger was designed for one-man operation from the tractor seat. It is the responsibility of the
operator to see that no one is within twenty-five feet (25’) of the digger when it is started. Do not operate the
digger with another person near, or in contact with, any part of the digger, PTO driveline, or auger. Serious
personal injury or death may result if any attempt is made to assist digger operation by hand.
Most accidents occur because of neglect or carelessness. Keep all helpers and bystanders twenty-five feet
(25’) from an operating digger. Only properly trained people should operate this machine. It is recommended
the tractor be equipped with a Rollover Protection System (ROPS) and a seat belt that is used. Always stop
the PTO, set brake, shut off the tractor engine, remove the tractor key, and allow auger to come to a complete
stop before dismounting tractor. Never leave equipment unattended with the tractor running.
All things with moving parts are potentially hazardous. There is no substitute for a cautious, safe-minded
operator who recognizes potential hazards and follows reasonable safety practices. The manufacturer has
designed this digger to be used with all its safety equipment properly attached, to minimize the chance of
accidents. Study this manual to make sure you have all safety equipment attached.
If a safety shield or guard is removed for any reason, it must be replaced before the machine is again operat-
ed. Always use, and maintain in place, all power take off guards furnished with the tractor as well as the power
take off guards and shields furnished with the digger.
Clear area of stones, branches or other debris that might be thrown or entangled, causing injury or damage.
Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
Make sure driveline spring-activated locking pin or balls operate freely and are seated firmly in tractor PTO
stub shaft groove.
Ensure that all safety shielding and safety signs are properly installed and in good condition.
