INFORMATION RELATIVE TO MINIMUM
COMPONENT STANDARDS FOR THE
OPERATION OF THE HOLE DIGGER.
Application: All 300 Series models.
For operational safety and overall productivity
considerations, it is required that specific Hole Digger
components meet minimum acceptable operational
standards as follows:
1) Operator handles be properly mounted to the
transmission case sockets, per the requirements of the
specific model and be of proper structural integrity with
no cuts or abrasions greater than 0.125 inch (3.2 mm)
deep.
2) Operator handles are each equipped with a properly
fitting handle grip of sufficient integrity to allow for
proper job function as outlined within this manual.
Loose fitting handle grips or grips without full end caps
are not permitted.
3) Operator handles each with a surface finish of
sufficient integrity and condition to allow for proper job
function as outlined within this manual. Handle surface
condition must be properly maintained.
4) Throttle cable is in a proper mechanical condition
that allows it to perform its intended job function as
outlined within this manual. Cables with bends,
abrasions or other damage that restrict or limit inner
wire movement must be replaced with a factory
approved replacement only.
5) Throttle control is installed in the correct operating
position and be in a mechanical condition that allows it
to perform its intended job function as outlined within
this
manual. Worn or damaged throttle control hand
grip or other, internal parts must be replaced with
factory approved replacement parts only. Do not
operate the Hole Digger with the plastic protective
cover missing. Do not allow foreign material to
accumulate within the throttle control assembly. Clean
all throttle control components and repair as necessary
on a regular maintenance schedule.
6) An ON/OFF engine ignition switch (if so equipped) or
an ignition cut off switch (if so equipped) that allows it
to perform its intended job function as outlined within
this manual. Replace any damaged ON/OFF ignition
switch or ignition cut off switch with a factory approved
replacement part only.
7) Centrifugal clutch assembly in proper mechanical
condition that allows it to perform its intended job
function as outlined within this manual. Replace any
centrifugal clutch assembly with operational
characteristics that do not allow it to properly disengage
at the specified engine idle speed or properly slip
during overload conditions.
8) Each auger is in a structural condition that allows it
to perform its intended job function as outlined within
this manual. Auger axles shall not be bent at any
portion of its length. Augers with bent axles are to be
discarded and not utilized under any circumstances.
9) Earth auger(s) has/have replaceable wear parts
(screw bit and teeth) that allow(s) it/them to perform
its/their intended job function as outlined within this
manual. An auger with a screw bit and/or tooth/teeth
worn past usual service life limits are not to be utilized
under any circumstances.
OPERATION OF A HOLE DIGGER UTILIZING
COMPONENTS NOT MEETING MINIMUM
ACCEPTABLE OPERATIONAL STANDARDS
CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
