Safety
WARNING
Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read and understand this manual and
the manual for your vehicle before assembling, installing, operating, maintaining, servicing, removing, or
moving this earth auger. If there is anything in this manual you do not understand, contact your dealer or
Danuser LLC. The safe use of this machine is strictly up to you, the operator. If this unit is used, loaned,
or rented by any other person, it is the owner's responsibility to make certain that the operator prior to
operating:
• Reads and understands the Operator's Manuals
• Is instructed in safe and proper use
There is an entanglement risk if you replace the special auger retaining bolt with a bolt longer than
specified by Danuser LLC. This improper replacement occurs most often on machines that are loaned or
rented to someone who has not read the Operator's Manual and is not familiar with an earth auger.
• This earth auger is designed for one-man operation from the vehicle seat. It is the responsibility of
the operator to see that no one is within twenty-five feet (25') of the earth auger when it is started or
in use. Do not operate the earth auger with another person near or in contact with any part of the
drive unit or auger. Serious personal injury or death may result if any attempt is made to assist
drilling operation by hand.
• All operators of this attachment must read and understand this entire manual, paying particular
attention to safety messages and operation instructions, prior to assembling, installing, operating,
maintaining, servicing, removing, or moving the earth auger.
• Please remember it is also important that you read, understand, and follow the safety signs on the
attachment. Clean or replace all safety signs if they cannot be clearly read and understood. They are
there for your safety as well as the safety of others. Danuser LLC will furnish new safety signs upon
request at no charge.
• All things with moving parts are potentially hazardous. There is no substitute for a cautious,
safe-minded operator who recognizes potential hazards and follows reasonable safety practices.
• Personal protection equipment including hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are
recommended during assembly, installation, operation, maintenance, service, removal, or movement
of the attachment.
• When the use of hand tools is required to perform any part of assembly, installation, maintenance,
service, removal, or movement of the earth auger, be sure the tools used are designed and
recommended by the tool manufacturer for that specific task.
• Never check pressurized system for leaks with your bare hand. Wear proper hand and eye protection
and use wood or cardboard when searching for suspected leaks. Oil escaping from pinhole leaks
under pressure can penetrate skin and create a serious medical emergency. If any fluid is injected into
the skin, gangrene, blood poisoning, even death may result. Obtain medical attention immediately.
• Always use two people to handle heavy, unwieldy components during assembly, installation,
maintenance, service, removal, or movement of the attachment.
• Never place any part of your body where it would be in danger if movement should occur during
assembly, installation, operation, maintenance, service, removal, or movement of the earth auger.
• Check clearances between vehicle and auger, as well as operator and auger, across the full range of
loader arms’ operating heights. Keep earth auger in cradle when not drilling.
• Only properly trained people should operate this equipment. Do not allow anyone who has not read
this entire manual and understood the safety rules, safety signs, and operation instructions to use this
attachment.
4
• Never allow children to operate or be around this earth auger.
Safety
(continued)
• Do not allow riders on the equipment at any time. There is no safe place for any riders.
• Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which can hinder alertness or coordination while operating
this equipment. Consult your doctor about operating this equipment while taking prescription
or over-the-counter medications.
• Safe operation of equipment requires the operator's full attention. Avoid distractions such as radio
headphones, cell phones, etc. while operating.
• Contact with underground gas lines or electrical cables may result in serious injury or death from
explosion or electrical shock. Before operating, call 811 or the local number to locate underground
utilities.
• Do not drill near underground utility lines.
• Before beginning operation, clear the work area of objects which might be picked up and thrown by
or entangled in the auger.
• The earth auger must be securely latched to the vehicle. Ensure both locking handles are in the
locked position with pins fully seated. An improperly latched earth auger can fall without warning.
• Before you operate the attachment, check over all pins, bolts, and connections to be sure all are
securely in place. Replace any damaged or worn parts immediately.
• Never replace the auger retaining bolt with anything other than the specified length bolt in this
manual. A longer, or protruding, fastener is more likely to grab clothing or gloves, which can result
in serious injury or death.
• Keep all helpers and bystanders twenty-five feet (25') away from an operating earth auger.
• Keep hands, feet, hair, jewelry, and clothing away from all moving and/or rotating parts.
• Never place yourself between the vehicle and the attachment.
• Worn teeth or a slightly rounded point can seriously affect auger penetration. Check for wear before
each use, and replace as necessary.
• Never position the auger point by hand or with any tool when the vehicle is running.
• Never position the auger point by putting your hands on the auger or drive unit.
• Do not shovel dirt away from a rotating auger, as the shovel can be caught and thrown by the auger.
• Never transport with the drive unit out of the cradle or while the auger is rotating.
• A heavy load can cause instability of the vehicle. Use extreme care during travel. Slow down on
turns and watch out for bumps. Use all safety devices, including a seat belt, as recommended in the
vehicle operator’s manual.
• Do not operate the earth auger on steep hillsides. When drilling on uneven or hilly terrain, position
the vehicle with the earth auger uphill. With the earth auger downhill, the vehicle could tip when
attempting to raise the auger from its hole. Consult your vehicle operator’s manual for maximum
incline allowable.
• Always shut off the vehicle engine, remove the key, lower vehicle arms, and relieve all hydraulic
pressure before dismounting the vehicle. Never leave equipment unattended with the vehicle
running.
• Never attempt adjustments, service, or repairs while the equipment is in operation.
5
Safety
• Never work under equipment supported by hydraulics. Even with the vehicle shut off, equipment can
suddenly drop if controls are actuated or if hydraulic lines burst.
(continued)
• Before disconnecting hydraulic lines or fittings, be sure to relieve all pressure by cycling all hydraulic
controls after shutdown. Remember hydraulic systems are under pressure whenever the engine is
running and may hold pressure after shutdown.
• Store the attachment on a flat, level surface in an area where children do not play. Securely block
and support the attachment.
• Do not modify the attachment. Modifications may weaken the integrity of the attachment and may
impair the safety, function, life, and performance of the earth auger.
• When making repairs or servicing the earth auger, use only parts that meet original equipment
manufacturer's standards and requirements.
• Always use care when operating the earth auger. Most accidents occur because of neglect or
carelessness.
Safety is a primary concern in the design, manufacture, sale, and use of earth augers. Danuser confirms to
you, our customer, our concern for safety.

Hydraulic
Requirements
Filtration Requirements:
• A filter of, at least, 25 micron filtration is required. A filter capable of 10 micron
filtration is preferred. The majority of paper type filters are 25 microns or better.
The life of the hydraulic motor is almost entirely dependent upon cleanliness of
the oil. Instructions in your vehicle operator’s manual regarding filter and oil
changes should be carefully followed. Even small amounts of dirt in the
hydraulic oil can cause premature motor failure that is not covered by warranty.
• A low pressure type filter can be installed in the return line from the control valves to
the sump. A low pressure type filter can also be installed in the sump or pump intake
line but must be sized large enough to avoid starving the pump.
• A high pressure type filter can be used between the pump and the control valves.
• If the source of the hydraulic power does not have a filter, it will be necessary to install
one at some point in the system so, at least, part of the hydraulic oil is being filtered
whenever the system is operating. After a filter is installed and before attaching the
drive unit, the entire hydraulic system should be drained, filled with new oil, and
operated for 30 minutes or until the system is warm. During this run time, operate all
valves, cylinders, and hydraulic motors on the machine.
Pressure and Flow Requirements:
• Models EP6, EP10, EP15, and EP20 Danuser Earth Augers are designed to operate
within the pressure range of 1500 to 3000 PSI.
• Operating flow rate is dependent on model: 6 to 15 GPM for Model EP6, 10 to 20
GPM for Model EP10, 15 to 30 GPM for Model EP15, and 20 to 35 GPM for Model
EP20.
Valve Requirements:
• The hydraulic system used to power the drive unit should be equipped with a four-way
valve large enough to carry full pump outlet without restricting flow and causing oil
heating.
• The four-way valve requires a relief valve which will open and relieve extreme
pressures between the drive unit and control valve, even when the control valve is in a
neutral position. This feature can be obtained by connecting two external relief valves
between the main lines running from the control valve to the drive unit in such a way
that high pressure in either line will be relieved to the other line.
Hydraulic Hose Requirements:
• High pressure hoses of, at least, 1/2 inch inside diameter connect four-way valve to the
hydraulic fittings on the top of the drive unit. If the drive unit is mounted 10 feet or
more from the hydraulic outlets on your unit, or the pump delivers 20 GPM or more,
hose size should be increased to 3/4 inch inside diameter.
• Working pressure of hydraulic hoses must be higher than the rated vehicle hydraulic
pressure.
• An abrasion sleeve is recommended on all hydraulic hoses.
• The hydraulic hoses should be equipped with a 45-degree fitting on the drive unit end.
• The hydraulic fittings on the top of the drive unit are #10 JIC male.
• Since the motor is reversible, hose connections to motor fittings are interchangeable.
• All hoses, pipes, and fittings used to connect the drive unit should be thoroughly
cleaned before use. Care should be taken to see that no thread sealer or metal chips are
forced to the inside of the joints when connections are being tightened.
Hydraulic Fluid Selection Requirements:
• Premium grade petroleum based fluids will provide the best performance.
• Fluids that contains anti-wear agents, rust inhibitors, anti-foaming agents,and oxidation
inhibitors are recommended.
• The viscosity of the fluid should never fall below 70 SUS (13 cST). The best
10
viscosity range for the drive unit is 100-200 SUS (20-43 cST).

WARNING
Keep hands, feet, hair,
jewelry, and clothing
away from all moving
and/or rotating parts.
STEP 6:
STEP 7:
STEP 8:
Each time an auger or extension is attached to the drive unit, the inside of the
collar should be coated liberally with grease.
The hydraulic fittings on the top of the drive unit are #10 JIC male. Install 1/2"
Danuser Hose Kit if your unit delivers less than 20 GPM. Install 3/4" Danuser
Hose Kit if your unit delivers 20 GPM or more. Danuser Hose Kits include
abrasion sleeves. Since the motor is reversible, hose connections to motor fittings
are interchangeable.
The hydraulic hoses should be equipped with a 45-degree fitting on the drive unit
end.
All hoses and fittings used to connect the earth auger should be thoroughly
cleaned before use. Care should be taken to see that no thread sealer or metal
chips are forced to the inside of the joints when connections are being tightened.
If you did not purchase quick couplers with your unit, you must obtain and install
the proper hydraulic quick couplers for your particular vehicle.
Fittings must be compatible with the fittings on your vehicle. Be sure the threads
match on the hydraulic quick couplers you are using.
After you have tightened the drive unit connections, run the hoses through the
hose holder on the quick attach plate and plug them into your auxiliary hydraulic
outlets.
18
STEP 9:
STEP 10:
WARNING
Before connecting or disconnecting hydraulic lines or
fittings, be sure to relieve all pressure by cycling all
hydraulic controls after shutdown. Remember hydraulic
systems are under pressure whenever the engine is
running and may hold pressure after shutdown.
Test the vehicle to make sure you have enough hose length to perform the full
range of the loader arms’ operating heights.
Hose routing is the responsibility of the operator. Pinched and/or stretched hoses
are not covered under the warranty.
Check the hydraulic system for leaks.
WARNING
Never check pressurized system for leaks with your bare
hand. Wear proper hand and eye protection and use wood
or cardboard when searching for suspected leaks. Oil
escaping from pinhole leaks under pressure can penetrate
skin and create a serious medical emergency. If any fluid
is injected into the skin, gangrene, blood poisoning, even
death may result. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Operation
DANGER
This earth auger is
designed for one-man
operation from the
vehicle seat. It is the
responsibility of the
operator to see that no
one is within twenty-five
feet (25') of the earth
auger when it is started
or in use. Do not operate
the earth auger with
another person near or
in contact with any part
of the drive unit or auger.
Serious personal injury
or death may result if any
attempt is made to assist
drilling operation by
hand.
DANGER
Contact with underground gas lines or electrical cables may
result in serious injury or death from explosion or electrical
shock. Before operating, call 811 or the local number to
locate underground utilities. Do not dig near underground
utility lines.
WARNING
Differences in diameter and length of auger when combined
with various heights of loader arms can allow the auger to
come into contact with skid-steer or operator when earth
auger is outside of cradle.
Before operating, check clearances between skid-steer and
auger, as well as operator and auger, across the full range
of loader arms’ operating heights.
WARNING
Keep earth auger in cradle when not drilling. To reduce the
risk of personal injury, never transport with the drive unit
out of the cradle or while the auger is rotating.
WARNING
Personal protection
equipment including
hard hat, safety glasses,
safety shoes, and gloves
are recommended during
assembly, installation,
operation, maintenance,
service, removal, or
movement of the earth
auger. Do not allow long
hair, loose fitting
clothing, or jewelry to be
around moving and/or
rotating parts.
WARNING
Safe operation of
equipment requires the
operator's full attention.
Avoid distractions such
as radio headphones,
cell phones, etc. while
operating.
DANGER
STEP 1:
STEP 2:
STEP 3:
STEP 4:
STEP 5:
WARNING
Before you operate the earth auger, check over all pins,
bolts, and connections to be sure all are securely in place.
Make sure the earth auger is securely latched to the vehicle.
Contact local utility companies to make certain there are no buried gas lines,
electrical cables, etc., in the work area. Clear area of objects that could wrap
around the auger or might be thrown. Check for ditches, stumps, holes, or other
obstacles that could cause the vehicle to roll.
Layout and mark where you want to drill your holes.
Lower the auger point slowly to the ground with the auger not powered.
Skid-steer mounted earth augers should not come in contact with the cradle during
drilling maneuvers. Drill with the quick attach plate in the horizontal position.
With the auger point lowered to the ground and before engaging the auger, move
the vehicle slowly left, right, forward, or backward as needed until the auger
appears vertical to the ground.
Actuate the hydraulics to start the auger’s rotation in the clockwise direction and
increase the speed as required so dirt is conveyed from the hole.
The hydraulic actuation lever connected to the earth auger will have three
positions: clockwise rotation, stop (neutral), and counter-clockwise rotation. The
clockwise and counter-clockwise positions may be changed by switching the hose
connections.
Do not allow riders on the
equipment at any time.
There is no safe place for
any riders.
DANGER
Never position the auger point by hand or with any tool
when the vehicle is running. Never position the auger point
by putting your hands on the auger or the drive unit.
19
Operation
(continued)
STEP 6:
The hydraulic flow rate or pressure should not exceed the earth auger’s specified
maximums. The hydraulic minimums must be met to deliver satisfactory
performance. Use only enough down pressure to assure positive penetration of
the auger into the ground. Ease up on down pressure if auger rotation slows
down drastically or stalls. Excessive down pressure will cause the auger to
frequently stall. See Hydraulic Requirements section for filtration, pressure, and
flow rate specifications.
If you have difficulty penetrating hard ground, refer to the Troubleshooting
section.
DANGER
To prevent injury, keep
an area of at least
twenty-five feet (25’)
around the auger clear of
bystanders and all other
people.
DANGER
Do not shovel dirt away
from a rotating auger, as
the shovel can be caught
and thrown by the auger.
STEP 7:
STEP 8:
STEP 9:
STEP 10:
STEP 11:
When the auger has been lowered about 24 inches into the ground, raise the auger
almost out of the hole to clear the dirt, then drill deeper and raise the auger again.
Repeat this procedure until the desired hole depth is reached.
The earth auger should be raised and lowered by changing the elevation and not
the tilt of the quick attach plate.
When the auger has reached the full depth required, allow the auger to dwell
momentarily at this depth at a slower speed to assist in cleaning out the hole.
Deactivate the earth auger, and raise it from the hole.
For “heavy” soil conditions, allow the auger to turn at slow speed while raising it
to the top of the hole.
Move away from the hole, then remove loose dirt from the auger by momentarily
actuating the earth auger and spinning it at a faster speed than used for drilling.
If necessary, repeat STEPS 8 and 9 to obtain a cleaner hole.
In some soil conditions, or when excessive down pressure is applied, the auger
may screw itself into the ground and become stuck, causing the earth auger to
stall. Do not attempt to pull the auger out of the ground. Instead, reverse the
auger rotation (counter-clockwise), and slowly raise the auger. Once unstuck,
continue operation.
If the auger becomes lodged under rocks, roots, or other large obstructions, do not
attempt to pull the auger out of the ground. If this happens, reverse the auger
rotation (counter-clockwise), and slowly raise the auger. Once unstuck, continue
operation.
WARNING
Replace a broken,
damaged, or missing
auger retaining bolt
ONLY with an authorized
factory replacement. An
auger retaining bolt that
is too long increases the
possibility of personal
injury. The auger
retaining bolt must be of
the proper size and grade
to function properly.
STEP 12:
20
Since the earth auger uses a Grade 8 retaining bolt, all vehicles must be protected
with relief valves or some other means of protection against excessive pressures.
Failure of the retaining bolt is a possible indication of excessive pressure.
Replacement of the retaining bolt should be as follows:
a) Shut off the vehicle engine, and remove the vehicle key.
b) Install a new Danuser retaining bolt. This is a special thread length bolt -
use genuine Danuser replacement parts only. For hex spindle, use Danuser
PN 10038 (3/4"
PN 10041. NEVER use a bolt longer than 4". For round spindle, use
Danuser PN 10039 (7/8"
bolt and nut PN 10042. NEVER use a bolt longer than 4-1/4".
c) Tighten the retaining bolt and nut securely.
Deactivate the auger and place the drive unit in the cradle when moving between
holes.
Frequently check the condition of the auger teeth and point, and replace them
when wear is detected. Always keep spare parts on hand for replacements to
avoid damage to the auger head and auger flighting.

Warranty
DANUSER
Model #
LIMITED WARRANTY
Danuser LLC (“Danuser”) warrants its products, under normal use and maintenance, to be free from defects in material and
workmanship for period(s) specified below from the purchase date from an authorized Danuser Dealer. Start of the warranty period
is determined by purchase date given on your returned WARRANTY REGISTRATION FORM. Proof of purchase may be
required. This Limited Warranty is extended only to the original purchaser of Danuser products.
EP Drive Units - 3 Years Mountings - 1 Year Augers - 1 Year
Lifetime Warranty Covering EP Drive Unit Output Pull Out
Wear Items Not Covered Under Warranty - Hydraulic Hoses, Seals, Auger Teeth, and Auger Point
1. During the applicable warranty period, Danuser, at its option, will repair or replace any part determined by Danuser to be
defective. Such repair or replacement shall take place at Danuser’s factory or a location designated by Danuser. Under no
circumstances shall Danuser be obligated for the cost of any repair or replacement by anyone other than Danuser without its
express written consent.
2. Parts may not be returned without written authorization from Danuser.
3. Some purchased components, including but not limited to hydraulic motors, planetary gears, and augers, are subject to the
inspection and warranty of the respective manufacturer. Thus, delays in a warranty determination can be expected while
Danuser awaits their decision.
4. This warranty is void if any attempt is made to make field repairs to hydraulic motors or planetary gears. To qualify for
warranty inspection, the complete drive unit must be returned in its original “failed” condition.
Serial #
5. To make a claim under this warranty, first contact your authorized Danuser Dealer. The Danuser Dealer shall complete the
Warranty Claim Form and obtain written authorization from Danuser to return parts. All warranty claims must include
detailed information regarding make and model of vehicle on which the Danuser product was mounted, hours of use,
description of events that led up to the failure, and any other information helpful in reviewing the warranty claim. All
warranty returns must be prepaid. Shipments arriving at our factory on a freight collect basis will be refused by our
receiving department. The freight charge will be credited if the parts are determined by Danuser to be defective, and the
associated freight costs in returning those parts will be prepaid by Danuser. NOTE: Hydraulic motors must arrive with all
ports sealed from dirt and moisture. If a motor arrives with open ports, the warranty is void and no inspection will be made.
6. Products or parts thereof which, as determined by Danuser’s examination, show wear from normal use, have been
improperly operated, damaged by accident or negligence, field repaired, altered or modified are not considered defective in
material and workmanship and are not covered by this warranty. This warranty does not apply to parts subject to normal
wear ("Wear Items") or to damage caused by the failure to perform recommended maintenance or to replace worn parts.
This warranty shall not obligate Danuser to bear any cost of labor for field repair, replacement, testing, or adjustment nor for
damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, or environmental elements.
7. Any parts or labor required to repair or replace parts not covered under this warranty will be charged to the customer. Parts
repaired or replaced by Danuser are then covered by this warranty only for the remainder of the original warranty as if such
parts were original parts.
8. Danuser reserves the right to change its specifications and designs at any time.
This warranty is exclusive and in lieu of all other express warranties, if any, including the implied warranties of merchantability
and fitness for a particular purpose. It shall not extend beyond the duration of the expressed warranty provided herein and the
remedy for violations of any implied warranty shall be limited to repair or replacement of the defective part pursuant to the terms
contained herein. No employee, dealer, salesman, or representative is authorized to change this warranty in any way or grant any
other warranty. Danuser shall not be liable for any consequential, incidental, or punitive damages, losses, or expenses, including
those resulting from or caused by any defects.
