Storage
Clean, inspect, service and make necessary repairs to
the Skid Steer Auger when parking it for long periods and
when parking it at the end of a working season. This will
help ensure the auger is ready for field use the next time
you hook-up to it.
1.
Clean off any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the unit and moving parts. Scrape
off compacted dirt and then wash surfaces thoroughly
with a garden hose. A coating of oil may also be
applied to the spiral flights to minimize oxidation.
2.
Inspect unit for loose, damaged or worn parts and
adjust or replace as needed.
3.
Lubricate as noted on page 16.
4.
Store unit on a level surface in a clean, dry place. Be
sure unit is properly supported so as not to fall on any
one during storage. See “Unhooking Post Hole
Digger” on page 9.
5.
Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Ask your dealer for Land Pride touch-up
paint. They are available in aerosol spray cans,
touch-up bottles, quarts and gallon sizes
6.
Replace all damaged or missing decals.
