INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

2.Repeat the procedure to the other driveline half. Remove all burrs and cuttings.

3.Apply multi-purpose grease to inside of outer (female) driveline section. Assemble driveline and install on tractor and digger. Pull on each driveline section to be sure yokes lock into place. Make certain driveline shielding is in place and in good condition.

4.Carefully raise and lower the digger and check to be sure the PTO assembly does not jam. If it does, cut equal amounts from each half of the PTO assembly.

5.Check the swinging drawbar of the tractor and make sure the PTO driveline assembly will not contact. The swinging drawbar can be moved forward on some tractors or it can be removed.

WARNING!

When attaching PTO yoke to tractor PTO shaft, it is important that spring-activated locking pin or balls operate freely and are seated in groove on PTO shaft. A loose shaft could slip off and result in personal injury or damage to equipment.

NOTE: Use stabilizer bars, adjustable sway chains, or sway blocks on your tractor lift arms to keep the post hole digger from swinging side to side. Adjust as tightly as practical for best performance.

Slide the auger (Ref. #1) over the large shaft of the gearbox and secure it with the two bolts.

NOTE: Please refer to the drawings (Figures B through

D)as to the proper mounting pattern for the cutting edges. Correct mounting of the cutting edges will assure a complete cut of earth by the auger.

Attach the handle to the right side of the gearbox by inserting the handle into the hole in the gearbox. Install the 5/16” x 3/4” bolt and tighten. The handle is to adjust the auger position as you lower the auger to the ground. You should be able to easily reach the handle while seated and as you operate the 3 pt. hitch raise/lower control.

NOTE: It may be necessary to bend the handle to put it in the best position for you to reach. If the handle is too long for your tractor, remove the plastic handle grip and cut the handle as required.

NOTE: If the handle is too short for your tractor’s seat and 3 pt. hitch configuration, take the handle to a welding shop and have it lengthened as required.

PREPARATION PROCEDURE

Thoroughly read and understand your Operator’s Manuals.

Before beginning operation, clear area of objects that wrap around the auger or might be thrown. Contact local utility company to make certain there are no buried gas lines, electrical cables, etc., in the work area. Check for ditches, stumps, holes, or other obstacles that could cause the tractor to roll.

Layout and mark where you want to dig your holes.

ALL persons should be at least twenty-five (25’) away. Clear the area of helpers, bystanders, especially children.

Do not allow anyone to stand behind, or to the side of a rotating auger.

To dig properly, your digger must be able to raise or lower through the highest and lowest points of your lift arm travel without binding against the tractor frame. Check carefully BEFORE attaching the auger. If it does bind, adjust the tractor 3 pt. linkage so that all movement is free.

On some tractors it may be necessary to remove the drawbar or slide it to one side. This will prevent the PTO driveline shaft from coming in contact with the drawbar. See your tractor’s operator’s manual for details.

CAUTION!

Operate the post hole digger only on a tractor with 540 RPM PTO shaft. The tractor’s engine speed should not exceed 1200 RPM while digging.

If you have ANY questions, regarding the proper operation of this digger, contact your dealer or the manufacturer.

GEARBOX OIL FILL

NOTE: The gearbox is shipped WITHOUT lubricant, so it will be necessary to fill is before use. With the gearbox in a level position, fill to the side inspection hole with a good 90 wt. gear lubricant. Gearbox holds 56 fluid oz. Check often and add lubricant if necessary.
