WARNING
• Do no reach or place yourself under equipment until it is blocked securely.
• Be sure the safety shield over the PTO stub shaft on the gear box and auger is not removed from the
digger.
CAUTION
For safety, turn off before attaching the auger assembly to the gear box. Remove the key to prevent the
possibility of someone else starting the tractor.
DANGER
Never use any bolt longer than 3-1/2” to mount the auger assembly to the gear box.
WARNING
When attaching PTO yoke to tractor’s PTO shaft, be sure that the yoke is secured to the PTO shaft.
Before you begin...
• Check over all pins, bolts and connections to be sure all are securely in place.
• Nuts and bolts should be snugged with wrenches; cotter pins should be in place and bent over or flared
out with pliers.
• The twist collar at the splined PTO union should be secure.
• The PTO shaft should be bolted and pinned with the roll pin at the gear box.
• Replace any safety shields that may have been removed during installation.
1. Lay out all of the parts for assembly. Attach the gear box to the boom assembly with clevis pin and insert
cotter pin into the clevis pin. Attach tractor end of boom assembly to the third point of tractor. Make sure
that the stabilizer arms on tractor are in place. Now attach the U-frame assembly to the lift arms on the
tractor. With the pin in place, raise the boom assembly and attach the U-frame assembly to the boom
assembly by inserting bolt (3/4” x 2-3/4” through the ears of the U-frame assembly and the mounting
plate on the boom assembly. Secure the bolt with locknut.
2. Check the clearance and reposition if necessary.
3. Use the tractor hydraulics to raise the Digger assembly to a height where the auger assembly can be
attached. Use bolt and nut to attach assembly to the Digger.
4. Raise the digger so that the auger is not touching the ground. Now insert PTO shaft onto tractor end. You
should now connect the other end of the PTO shaft to the gear box shaft and insert the shear bolt into
the 5/16” hole. Secure shear bolt with locknut. Insert roll pin into PTO shaft yoke at the gear box input
shaft. 5) The Digger is no ready for use. The final equipment can be made depending on field conditions
