3.
Connect male and female couplers to the
Skid Steer/Tractor high pressure outlets.
4.
Make sure hoses are kept away from all pinch points
and then zip tie hoses together as needed. Two zip
ties are provided for this purpose.
5.
Operate Skid Steer/Tractor to check auger rotation.
The auger should rotate clockwise when looking
down from above. If auger rotates counterclockwise,
switch male and female couplers on the hydraulic
hoses and then reconnect hoses to the outlets.
6.
Also see Hydraulic Hook-up instructions in your Skid

Unhooking Post Hole Digger
Refer to Figure 1-4 & Figure 1-5 on page 9:
1.
Rotate top of tilt arms back and lower Skid Steer/
Tractor lift arms down until the auger tip touches the
ground.
2.
At this point, slowly back Skid Steer/Tractor up while
lowering loader arms until hitch plate frame is on the
ground or on stable supports.
3.
Stop engine, engage parking brake, raise seat bar,
move controls until both are locked and remove key
to prevent unauthorized starting. Use steps,
grab-handles and skid-resistant surfaces when
getting on or off the loader.
4.
Disconnect hydraulic hoses and release locking
levers or pins. It may be necessary to release
hydraulic pressure in the lines before hoses will
disconnect from the loader.
5.
Restart Skid Steer/Tractor and slowly back-up while
rotating top of tilt arms forward and lowering loader
arms down until the Skid Steer/Tractor hitch clears
the auger hitch plate top angle bar.
6.
Back away from auger hitch plate and then raise Skid
Steer/Tractor loader arms up.

IMPORTANT: Post Hole Diggers with large augers
will require stable supports under the hitch plate to
support hitch plate up while unhooking. Be sure not
to use too high of a support. The full length of large
diameter augers should be resting on the ground
and not just the tip when unhooked.
