STEP 7:
When the auger has been lowered 12 to 18 inches into the ground, raise the auger
almost out of the hole, then dig another 12 to 18 inches and raise the auger again.
Repeat this procedure until the desired hole depth is reached.
STEP 8:
When the auger has reached the full depth required, allow the auger to dwell
momentarily at this depth at a slower speed to assist in cleaning out the hole.
STEP 9:
Disengage the PTO, and raise the auger from the hole.
STEP 10: To remove loose dirt from auger, spin the auger by momentarily engaging the
PTO with the engine running at a faster speed than used for digging.
STEP 11: If you break a shear bolt, the roll pin should retain the driveline on the G20/40
Digger pinion. Replace the
special
shear bolt as follows:
(a)
Disengage the PTO, set the brakes, shut off the tractor engine, and remove
the tractor key.
(b)
Remove the broken shear bolt.
(c)
Install a new Danuser shear bolt (PN 6015) and nut (PN 573). This is a
special
thread length bolt - use genuine Danuser replacement parts only.
NEVER use a bolt longer than 2-1/4".
(d)
Tighten the shear bolt nut securely.
To prevent injury, keep an area of at least twenty-five feet
(25') around the auger clear of bystanders and all other
people.
D A N G E R
Do not shovel dirt away from a rotating auger, as the shovel
can be caught and thrown by the auger.
D A N G E R
For “heavy” soil conditions or for tractors requiring driveline rotation to
produce lifting power, allow the auger to turn at a slow speed while raising
it to the top of the hole.
NOTE
This digger is designed to operate at a maximum PTO speed
of 540 RPM. NEVER exceed 540 RPM.
W A R N I N G
NEVER use body weight to help the auger penetrate the
ground. When the ground is too tough to penetrate with
your cutting edges and point, replace them and try again.
These are replaceable parts and must be in good condition
to penetrate. If you have difficulty penetrating hard ground,
refer to Difficult Digging Suggestions.
D A N G E R
Replace a broken or
damaged shear bolt or
auger retaining bolt ONLY
with an authorized factory
replacement. A shear bolt
or auger retaining bolt that
is too long increases the
possibility of personal
injury. The shear bolt and
auger retaining bolt must
be of the proper size and
grade to function properly.
All persons should be at
least twenty-five feet (25')
away. Clear the area of
bystanders, especially
children. Do not allow
anyone to stand behind,
or to the side of, a
rotating auger.
