POWER HEAD OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Drive the Loader to the attachment and couple the attachment plate
onto the attachment. Raise the Power Head slightly and engage the
locking pins fully. Turn the engine off and push the AUX Control Lever
forwards and backwards to release any hydraulic line pressure. Clean
the hydraulic fittings (QRCs) and then connect them to connections A
& B. (see “Hydraulics General Description” section).
Removal procedure is the reverse order of the above. Remember to
always reconnect the attachment hoses into one another to stop dirt
entering the hydraulic system, or fit the dust caps supplied.
Once fitted to the Loader, raise the Power Head high enough to allow
the auger to be positioned into the Power Head’s square drive shaft.
Drive the Power Head forward positioning the drive into the auger,
aligning the locking pin holes.
Insert the locking pins and lock in place.
Ensure that the Power Head is securely attached to the Kanga
Loader Check that the couplings are engaged and check for leaks.
Tighten/repair as required.
Inspect the cutting tips and teeth. Ensure that they are in good
condition and firmly attached.
Start the auger turning in a clockwise direction by activating the
“AUX” lever downwards. Lower the auger by pushing the “ARM”
lever forward. If the ground is hard the front wheels of the Kanga
Loader will lift off the ground. As the auger cuts into the ground
the arc of the arm travel will move it out of vertical. To keep the
auger vertical, move the Kanga Loader backward or forward
slightly to compensate. Continually clear the hole during digging
by raising the auger up (pull back on the “ARM” lever).
Drill a “trial” hole in a clear area to practice all operations and
to become familiar with the procedure.
Note: Teeth should display slight movement.
Check that bolts securing the pilot are tight.
CAUTION:
Large auger fitting is a 2 person operation.
