Assembly &
Installation
Drive unit and auger
exploded views and part lists
are detailed on separate pages
in this manual.
Because of the weight of
some components, and
because some
components are difficult
to balance, two people are
required for safe
assembly and installation
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.

Location
CAUTION
WARNING
Consideration must be given to the installation location of bolt-on bucket mount
kit. The drive unit should be able to swing during normal operation without
interference from the bucket. The bucket must be constructed with sufficient
strength to safely handle the load forces generated during drilling. Position drive
unit to allow space for the hydraulic hose connections and routing of the hoses.
