PRODUCT / EQUIPMENT PRECAUTIONS
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 ATTACHMENT
• Travel only with the Drive attachment in a safe transport position to prevent uncontrolled
swinging.
• Tether 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.
