ALWAYS PERFORM MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
WITH THE TRACTOR’S ENGINE POWERED OFF,
PTO DISENGAGED, AND THE AUGER TIP
RESTING ON THE GROUND.
Before operation check all safety shields. Replace shields that are
worn or broken before operating the post hole digger.
When the self-sharpening points on the auger show excessive wear
it is important to replace them.
Check the oil level after every 50 hours of operation. Use EP90
lubricant or equivalent and fill to oil level plug. Always use the
same replacement lubricant type.
Universal joints should be greased with chassis lube once a week
during operating season. Grease the sliding drive shaft members
with moly grease at the beginning of each season.
To remove the auger from the gear box output shaft, remove the
two 1/2 in. x 3 in. hex cap screws.
To remove the drive shaft from the gear box input shaft, remove
the shear pin bolt and 1/4 in. set screw.
