OPERATING PROCEDURES

SAFETY DECAL LOCATIONS

This unit comes equipped with all safety decals in place. They are designed to help you safely operate your 

unit. Read and follow all safety decals.

Before operating always ensure that the 

PRO-DIG

™ 

Auger 

Drive and auger or anchor are connected correctly to the 

parent machine.

DRILLING OPERATIONS

1.  To begin drilling, position the auger or anchor on the 

ground in the desired location. Engage the parent ma-
chines auxiliary hydraulics to rotate the auger or anchor 
in a clockwise direction. 

2.  Lower the parent machines arm(s) to engage the auger 

or anchor into the ground. Use only enough down pres-
sure to assure positive penetration of the auger. Ease up 
on the down pressure if the auger rotation slows down 
drastically or stalls. Excessive down pressure will cause 
the auger to stall frequently. 

  Note: 

Do not continually stall the 

PRO-DIG

™ 

Auger 

Drive! Continued stalling may cause excessive heat-

ing of the hydraulic system and possible damage to the 

PRO-DIG

™ 

Auger Drive.

3.  As the auger or anchor digs in the ground, the parent 

machines arm(s) or boom may travel through an arc. This 
means the operator may need to continually reposition 
the machine to ensure vertical application of the auger or 
anchor.

4.  When the auger has penetrated the ground about 24” 

(610mm), raise the auger from the hole to clean out the 
loose material.

5.  Once the required hole depth is reached, allow the auger 

to turn a few seconds at this depth to clean the hole.

6.   Stop rotation of the auger and raise the auger out of the 

hole. Swing the auger away from the newly drilled hole. 
Spin the loose material off the auger.

  Note: 

Do not reverse the auger rotation while the au-

ger is still in the hole. The loose material will back fill 

the hole. 

7.  If necessary, repeat steps 2 through 3 to obtain a cleaner 

hole.

OPERATIONS TO AVOID

1.  In some soil conditions or when excessive down pressure 

is applied, the auger may screw itself in to the ground. 
This can cause the auger to become stuck causing the 
PRO-DIG

™ 

Auger Drive to stall. If this situation occurs, 

reverse the auger rotation and slowly raise the auger 
from the hole.

2.  If the auger becomes lodged under rocks, tree roots, 

or other large obstructions, do not attempt to raise the 
auger out of the ground. See Step 1 of this section to 
relieve the auger.

3.  Avoid excessive side loading. This can cause damage to 

both the PRO-DIG

 Auger Drive and the auger.

4.   Keep all auger teeth and pilot bits in good condition. 

Avoid using damaged teeth and holders. 

•  Following operation, or when unhooking, stop, set 

brakes, disengage power drives, shut off engine, and 
remove the ignition key.

•  Store the unit in and way from human activity. 
•   Before long term storage, wash the unit with mild 

detergent and water to remove any debris and grime. 

•   Do not permit children to play on or around the 

stored area.

•  Protect the shafts and ports with a grease or rust-

inhibitor. 

•   Grease bearing seals. 
•  Check and tighten all bolts, nuts and screws. Paint is 

available from your Authorized Service Dealer. 

•  When storing the unit for any length of time be sure 

the unit is stored with clean gear oil.
