Operation
STEP 1: 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.
STEP 2: Layout and mark where you want to drill your holes.
STEP 3: Lower the auger point slowly to the ground with the auger not powered.
STEP 4: 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.
STEP 5: 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.
This earth auger was designed for one-man operation from the
vehicle seat. It is the responsibility of the operator to see that
bystanders and all other people are at least twenty-five feet
(25') from the earth auger in operation or under power.
Serious personal injury or death may result if any attempt is
made to assist earth auger operation by hand.
Read and understand this Operator’s Manual carefully before attempting to operate the
Danuser Earth Auger. You are responsible for furnishing this manual to others who may use
the unit. If you have any questions regarding the proper assembly, installation, or operation
of this earth auger, contact your dealer or Danuser LLC.
Serious injury or death
can result from misuse of
this equipment.
Personal protection
equipment including hard
hat, safety glasses, safety
shoes, and gloves are
recommended during
assembly, installation,
operation, maintenance,
removal, or movement of
the earth auger. Do not
allow long hair, loose
fitting clothing, or jewelry
to be around moving
parts.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
