ASSEMBLY
PREPARATION FOR MOUNTING ON TRACTOR
Since your BELLTEC DRILLING
MACHINE (DIGGER) has been assem-
bled at the factory, only a
minimum of assembly and prepara-
tion will be required.
If the digger was shipped by
commercial carrier, it will be
fastened to a special pallet ly-
ing on its back.
Before attempting to stand dig-
ger upright, locate the safety
transport pin located near mid-
way of the mainframe tube. (ref-
erence picture) Be sure it is in
place before lifting digger so
carriage and gearbox will not
fall down while lifting.
To stand digger upright, if
still on the pallet, place under
a safe lifting device, such as a
chain hoist, or electric hoist
if available. If a forklift or
front-end loader is used, be
sure to place on a concrete
floor or other level, solid
area. Remove "J" bolts which
hold digger to pallet, as well
as any wire or strapping. Re-
move any augers or other parts
that may be fastened the to pal-
let.
A hook eye has been provided at the front, near the top of the digger. Securely
fasten hook or chain to hook eye before lifting. BE SURE EVERYONE IS CLEAR OF
AREA BEFORE LIFTING SO DIGGER WILL NOT FALL ON THEM IF CHAIN OR HOOK COMES
LOOSE.
After taking aforementioned precautions, slowly lift digger until skids on the
mainframe and park stands on the hitch are firmly resting on the floor or solid
ground.
The digger should now be ready for mounting on the tractor.
