Important Safety Information

• Make sure that the tractor brake is set before deploying the post

hole digger.

• Do not manually deploy the auger.

• Do not manually position or force the auger into the ground.

• Turn o tractor engine before leaving the seat of the tractor.

• Do not move the tractor with the power take oﬀ in the ON

position.

• Do not exceed the 540 RPM PTO operating speed.

• NEVER OPERATE THE POST HOLE DIGGER

WITH THE AUGER MORE THAN 6 INCHES ABOVE

GROUND LEVEL. Operating the post hole digger in an

elevated position may cause the PTO driveline u-joints to bind

resulting in equipment damage and operator injury.

• ALWAYS turn oﬀ the post hole digger if a rock or other obstacle

is encountered during operation to prevent damage to the gear

box and possible operator injury. Shear bolts could become

welded to the input shaft of the drive shaft if left running after

being sheared.

• ONLY PERFORM MAINTENANCE such as lubrication,

adjustments and repairs with the tractor engine turned oﬀ, the

PTO disengaged and the auger point resting at ground level.

• ALWAYS replace shear bolts with the correct shear bolt size and

grade (SAE Grade 5). Never use a shear bolt that is longer or

larger than what is speciﬁed in the operation manual for that post

hole digger model.
