GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
CAUTION
WARNING
OPERA TOR SAFETY
• Protective clothing and equipment should be worn at all times.
• Wear protective clothing and equipment appropriate for the job. Avoid loose fi tting clothing.
• Prolonged exposure to excessive noise can cause hearing loss. Wear suitable hearing protection
such as ear plugs.
• Operating equipment safely requires the full attention of the operator. Avoid distractions.
• Do not operate the unit when you are tired, ill or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or
medication.
• Never let a minor or inexperienced person operate the unit.
• Keep all body parts away from the drilling bit at all times.
• Inspect the area to be drilled before operation. Remove objects which can be thrown or become
entangled.
• DO NOT operate the Drive attachment in areas where carbon monoxide fumes can accumulate.
PRODUCT SAFETY
• Inspect the entire product before operation.
• Replace parts that are cracked, chipped or damaged in any way before operation.
• Keep others away when making any adjustments to the unit.
• Damage to the Auger Drive and auger bit can result if the prime mover moves while the auger is
still in the hole.
PRACTICE SAFE MAINTENANCE
• Use proper tools and equipment when conducting maintenance.
• Work in a clean dry area.
• Inspect all parts. Be sure parts are in good working condition and installed properly .
• Remove build up of grease, oil or any debris.
• Remove all tools and unused parts from equipment before beginning operation.
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
BE ALERT ON THE JOB SITE
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of bystanders. Children in
particular are often attracted to machinery and work activity . Never assume that children will remain
where you last saw them. BE ALER T and turn the equipment off if children enter the work area. Keep
children out of the work area and under supervision of another responsible adult.
DRILLING SAFETY
• Inspect the area to be drilled before operation. Remove objects which can be thrown or become
entangled. Be alert when drilling in locations where any type of landscaping fabric / mat may be
present. The material can be rapidly drawn into the point of operation, possibly causing injury or
death to anyone standing on or near the fabric.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the drilling bit when operating the unit.
• DO NOT operate the Auger Drive when the auger bit is more then 12” (305mm) above ground. The
auger bit may bind and cause injury to the operator and damage to the equipment.
• While the auger bit is rotating, DO NOT attempt to manually guide the auger to a location.
• Ensure that overhead power / utility lines do not come into contact with the Drive attachment.
• DO NOT use a shovel or any other object to remove material from the auger bit or the hole while
the Drive attachment is in use.
UNDERGROUND HAZARDS
It is the responsibility of the operator to know where buried power, gas, telephone, and other utilities
are at in the work area. This may lead to shock or an explosion. Have the work area marked for buried
lines and do not dig in marked areas set by your local municipals. Striking a hard object underground
with the auger turning can result in the slowing or stopping of the auger.

WARNING
LOWER OR SUPPORT RAISED EQUIPMENT
Do not work under raised booms without supporting them. Do not use support material
made of concrete blocks, logs, buckets, barrels, or any other material that could
suddenly collapse or shift positions. Make sure support material is solid, not decayed,
warped, twisted, or tapered. Lower booms to ground level or on blocks. Lower booms
and attachments to the ground before leaving the cab or operator’s station. Whenever the boom
structure must be raised for attachment installation or servicing block ensure the boom locking
devices (if equipped) are deployed to prevent the accidental lowering of boom structures.
NEVER PLACE ANY BODY PAR T BETWEEN THE PRIME MOVER CHASSIS AND THE BOOM
STRUCTURE! Refer to the operating and maintenance instructions provided by the prime mover
manufacturer for specifi c information.
USE CARE WITH SILICA DUST DURING OPERA TION
Concrete and masonry products contain silica sand. Quartz, which is a form of silica and the most
common mineral in the earths crust, is associated with many types of rock. Some activities that
silica dust may be present in the air include demolition, sweeping, loading, sawing, hammering,
drilling, or planing of rock, concrete or masonry .
It is recommended to use dust suppression, dust collection or personal protective equipment
during the operation of any attachment that may cause high levels of silica dust.
The NIOSH recommended exposure limit for respirable crystalline silica is 0.05 mg/m3 as a time-
weighted average for up to 10 hours/day during a 40-hour workweek [NIOSH 1974].
USE CARE WITH HYDRAULIC FLUID PRESSURE
Hydraulic fl uid under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury or
death. Hydraulic leaks under pressure may not be visible. Before connecting or
disconnecting hydraulic hoses, read your prime mover’s operator’s manual for
detailed instructions on connecting and disconnecting hydraulic hoses or fi ttings.
• Keep unprotected body parts, such as face, eyes, and arms as far away as
possible from a suspected leak. Flesh injected with hydraulic fl uid may develop
gangrene or other permanent disabilities.
• If injured by injected fl uid, see a doctor at once. If your doctor is not familiar with
this type of injury , ask him to research it immediately to determine proper treatment.
• Wear safety glasses, protective clothing, and use a piece of cardboard or wood
when searching for hydraulic leaks. DO NOT USE YOUR HANDS! SEE ILLUSTRA TION.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS - CONTINUED
One easy phone call to 811 starts the process to get your underground utility lines marked for free.
When you call 811 from anywhere in the country (USA), your call will be routed to your local One
Call Center. Local One Call Center operators will ask you for the location of your digging job and
route your call to affected utility companies. Your utility companies will then send a professional
locator to your location to mark your lines within a few days. Once your underground lines have
been marked, you will know the approximate location of your utility lines and can dig safely,
because knowing what’s below protects you and your family.
Every state has different rules and regulations governing digging, some stricter than others. In addition, 62 separate One Call Centers serve different areas of the country; now 811 will connect you
directly to your local one call center.
For more information go to www.call811.com
Always call 811 before starting any digging project!
**Customers outside the United States need to contact their local utility company for underground
safety regulations specifi c to the area.

PRODUCT / EQUIPMENT PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
WARNING
PRIME MOVER LIFT CAPACITY
Alert yourself to the weight of the Drive Unit. DO NOT exceed the recommended lift capacity of
the prime mover. Refer to your prime mover’s owners manual for suggested lift capacity and lift
considerations.
OPERATING THE PRIME MOVER
Avoid steep hillside operation, which could cause the prime mover to overturn. Consult
your prime mover operator’s and safety manuals for maximum incline allowable.
TRANSPORTING THE DRIVE A TT ACHMENT
• Travel only with the Drive attachment in a safe transport position to prevent uncontrolled
swinging.
• T ether the Drive attachment with a chain, if necessary, to prevent uncontrolled swinging of the auger
when moving from hole to hole.
• Remove the earth auger or helical anchor from the Drive attachment before transporting to and
from the job site.
• Drive slowly over rough ground and on slopes. Position the Drive attachment as low to the ground
as possible maintaining a low center of gravity .
PRIME MOVER / ATTACHMENT INSTALLATION
Ensure all attaching pins, fasteners and latches are properly secured. Ensure that the mounting
frame / attachment mounting plate is rigidly secured to the prime mover. Improper installation can
result in product damage, personal injury and death.
Ensure all hydraulic hose assemblies are of adequate length and have enough slack for full Drive
attachment movement. Failure to provide adequate length hydraulic hoses can result in hose
rupturing. A hydraulic hose rupture can result in product damage, personal injury and death.
SERIAL NUMBER IDENTIFICATION
Its important to make the correct reference to the serial number of the unit when making repairs
or ordering parts. The serial number plate will be located near the top of the Anchor / Auger Drive
attachment. Below is an example of the serial number plate.
