Safety
(continued)
•
To prevent rapid wear of U-joints and possible failure of drivelines, never lift the auger
point more than twelve inches (12") off the ground when the PTO is operating.
•
To prevent possible instantaneous driveline failure, never move the digger from hole to
hole, or transport, while the auger is rotating. This could lead to injury from flying
pieces of the failed driveline.
•
Always stop the PTO, set the brake, shut off the tractor engine, and remove the tractor
key before dismounting the tractor. Never leave equipment unattended with the
tractor running.
•
Most accidents occur because of neglect or carelessness. Keep all helpers and
bystanders twenty-five feet (25') away from an operating digger.
•
Always use care when operating a post hole digger.
Safety is a primary concern in the design, manufacture, sale, and use of post hole diggers.
As the manufacturer of your post hole digger, we want to confirm to you, our customer, our
concern for safety.
Our current production post hole diggers include, as standard equipment, safety signs and
shields or guards for auger adapters, pinions, and drivelines. Older machines can be
retrofitted to add these safety signs and shields or guards. If you have an older Danuser
post hole digger which does not have current standard safety equipment, please contact your
dealer about bringing your machine up to the current level of safety.
Improper operation of this post hole digger can cause serious
personal injury or death. Operation of this post hole digger should
only be done by a competent adult acting in compliance with the
Owner's Manual. Since post hole digging operations are beyond our
control, we disclaim all liability for any damages, injuries or death
which may result.
