Disconnect the hydraulic hoses from the vehicle's auxiliary hydraulics.
Connect the quick couplers together to prevent contaminants from entering the
earth auger's hydraulic system.
Follow your vehicle operator's manual for removing an attachment. Securely
block and support the attachment.
Tighten any loose nuts, bolts, and hydraulic components.
Replace any damaged or missing safety signs.
Before disconnecting hydraulic lines or fittings, be sure
to relieve all pressure by cycling all hydraulic controls
after shutdown. Remember hydraulic systems are under
pressure whenever the engine is running and may hold
pressure after shutdown.

the attachment at any
time.
