DANGER WARNING POTENTIAL HAZARD • There may be buried power, gas, and/or telephone lines in the work area. POTENTIAL HAZARD • When the engine is off, attachments in the raised position can gradually lower. WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Shock or explosion may occur. WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Someone nearby may be pinned or injured by the attachment as it lowers. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD • Have the property or work area marked for buried lines and do not dig in marked areas.
Stability Ratings To determine the degree of slope you can traverse with the auger installed on a traction unit, find the stability rating for the hill position you want to travel in the appropriate table below, then find the degree of slope for the same rating and hill position in the Stability Data section of the traction unit operator’s manual. WARNING POTENTIAL HAZARD • Exceeding the maximum slope can cause the traction unit to tip.

5. Start the engine. 6. Maneuver the drive shaft into the end of the auger shaft or extension (if applicable) (Fig. 4). 1 2 m–3948 m–3945 Figure 6 Figure 4 1. Drive head 2. Auger shaft Removing an Auger/Extension from the Drive Head 7. Stop the engine. 8. Secure the auger to the drive head with the 7/8”–9 x 4–1/2” bolt and 7/8”–11 nut (Fig. 5). 1. Raise the loader arms so the auger comes out of the hole. 9. Remove the bolts and nuts from the cradle arms that were installed in step 3 (Fig. 5).
3. If you have a traction unit other than Dingo TX, move the speed selector lever to slow (turtle), and the flow divider control to the 10:00 o’clock position. Operation Digging a Hole 4. Pull the auxiliary hydraulics lever to the operator grip or reference bar to begin digging. DANGER 5. Lower the auger slowly as the soil is loosened. As you dig deeper, move the traction unit backward or forward as required to keep the hole vertical (Fig. 7).
Checking Planetary Gear Case Oil 6. Replace the drain plug. Changing Planetary Gear Case Oil Check the oil level in the planetary gear case every 25 hours and top off the oil if necessary. Change the oil after the first 50 hours of operation and every 1000 hours thereafter. The planetary gear case requires 2 pints of a mild, extreme pressure lubricant, rated API–GL–5, number 80 or 90. 1. Place the auger drive head on the ground so that the drive shaft is parallel with the ground. 2.
