TRANSPORTING
When driving on a road or highway at night or during the day, use accessory
lights and devises for adequate warning to operators of other vehicles. Acces-
sory lights for the Belltec Digger are available from your dealer. Check local
governmental regulations for the proper use and requirements.
DON'T TRAVEL AFTER DARK WITHOUT PROPER LIGHTS OR REFLECTORS
Clean the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem before operating
or transporting the Belltec Drilling Machine on a road or
highway.
Do not allow anyone to ride on the digger when it is being
moved. Become familiar with the physical size of your dig-
ger. Pay particular note to its height and watch for any obstructions such as
power lines, telephone lines, and tree limbs, etc.

GEARBOX....The gearbox has been lubricated before shipment. If oil is observed
leaking from the lower seal or the front seal, remove the gearbox from the
mounting supports and check the oil level. If level is low it may be necessary
to replace the seals and refill the gearbox.
If machine is in constant use, once each month apply 5 or 6 pumps of grease to
the grease zerk (D) from a standard hand held grease gun using a good grade of
bearing grease.
EACH DAY BEFORE USE.... Check gearbox for signs of leaking around seals. Occa-
sionally, seals will leak if unit sits for a prolonged period of time, however,
they should quit leaking after using and getting soaked with oil. If they do
not quit leaking replace at once and refill gearbox.
ANNUALLY....Remove gearbox and change oil. Use 1 gallon of SA 90 EP gear oil.
Do not overfill the gearbox. Fill only to the check plug (B).
DRIVELINE....The driveline should be disconnected from the Tractor, pulled
apart, and inspected periodically. If the shaft is "gummy" it should be washed
in solvent. Always, before putting back together put sufficient grease on ends
of tube so that the full contact area will be filmed with a coat of grease.
DAILY....Grease the universal joint cross zerks with a hand held grease gun.
Align nylon grease fitting located on end of outer shaft with hole in outer
shield and grease with grease gun.
