Operating the Post Hole Digger Safely (continued)

•

ALWAYS turn off the digger immediately if an immovable object is encountered to prevent damage to the gear box or

driveshaft and possible injury. A shear bolt is provided but may become welded to the input shaft if the driveshaft is left

running after being sheared.

•

Do not transport people, animals, or objects on the Post Hole Digger.

•

NEVER manually position the auger or manually force the auger into the ground.

•

Be mindful of roll over hazards, changes in terrain, slopes, or wet conditions. Use care when backing up.

•

Never, under any conditions, remove, bend, cut, fit, weld, or otherwise alter standard parts on the DR PTO Post Hole Digger.

This includes all shields and guards. Modifications to your machine could cause personal injuries and property damage and

will void your warranty.

•

If the Auger strikes a foreign object or if your machine should start making an unusual noise or vibration, disengage the PTO,

shut down the Tractor Engine, remove the Key, wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop, lower the Auger to the

ground, disconnect the PTO shaft from the Tractor, then wait five minutes before performing any maintenance procedure or

inspection on the Post Hole Digger. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. Clean, repair, and/or replace damaged parts.

•

While using the DR PTO Post Hole Digger, do not hurry or take things for granted. When in doubt about the equipment or

your surroundings,

turn the tractor engine off, disengage the PTO drive and lower the auger point to the ground.

•

Use the machine only in daylight.

•

Be cautious when using your DR PTO Post Hole Digger around fencing, rocks, wires, ropes, and hoses. It is possible that

these and other debris can hit or become wound around the Auger, potentially damaging the machine or injuring you.

•

Keep all nuts and bolts tight and keep the equipment in good operating condition.

Safety When Digging Near Utilities

Call 811 before you begin any digging project. A new, federally-mandated national "Call Before You Dig" number, 811 was created

to help protect you from unintentionally hitting underground utilities while working on digging projects. Every digging job requires

a call. If you hit an underground utility line while digging, you can harm yourself or those around you, disrupt service and

potentially be responsible for fines and repair costs.

•

There may be buried power, gas, and/or telephone lines in the work area. Electric shock, death, or explosion may occur.

•

Have the property or work area marked for buried lines and do not dig in marked areas.
