HANDLE BAR POSITIONS
There are three different handle bar positions that the operator of the 1M5C earth drill
can use. Each position has a specific purpose and each one plays a part in promoting
convenience and versatility to the operator while at the job site.
POSITION 1:
This is the starting position. The
1M5C should not be started unless the handle bars
are in this position. This position locks the boring
head and auger which helps stabilize the earth drill
for starting.
This position is also used for maneuvering the ma-
chine with the auger attached.
POSITION 3:
This position is to be used for up
close digging where a hole is required next to an
object like a fence or a building.
This position is also used for storing when the
auger is detached and transporting to and from a
job site.
POSITION 2:
This is the digging position. Most dig-
ging operations will be done in this position, allow-
ing the operator to take advantage of the 1M5C’s
design.
WARNING
Do not start the engine with handle bar in
this position.
