8. Grass and other overgrowth conditions will hamper digging capability of
any auger bit by becoming "clogged" around auger bit teeth and screw
bit. Removal of such obstructions from hole location BEFORE digging will
increase digging efficiency and overall productivity.
10 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: DO NOT operate Auger until each operator completely
comprehends contents of this manual, plus applicable safety and operational
information supplied by engine manufacturer.
INSTALLING AUGER BIT
1. Refer to STOPPING AUGER in OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of
this manual. To install auger bit, place Auger with spark plug facing up.
2. Connect auger bit to Auger with correct factory supplied auger pin. Model
BRPA265H Auger uses 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) diameter pin P/N BR10628.
Model BRPA270H Auger uses 5/16 inch (8 mm) diameter pin P/N
BR10627.
STARTING ENGINE WITH AUGER BIT ATTACHED
DO NOT attempt to dig with Auger until Crew Chief and Crew Member have
acknowledged to each other they are ready and are in full control of
machine/accessories. Crew Chief operates engine throttle control with right
hand and is responsible for verbal commands. Crew member operates choke
control and starts engine.
3. Place Auger in vertical orientation on desired hole location.
4. Crew Member opens fuel tank breather vent (if so equipped) to its
maximum set position. Failure to open breather vent prevents engine
from receiving continuous supply of fuel.
5. Crew Member opens fuel tank ON/OFF valve located under fuel tank to
ON position as shown. FIGURE 9

CAUTION
• DO NOT dig initial hole with smaller auger bit then use larger
diameter auger bit to “ream” hole to desired size.
• This method will prevent auger bit screw of larger auger bit
from providing sufficient directional stability during “reaming”
process.
WARNING
•
DO NOT use shovel and/or foreign object to remove loose
soil from around hole area while operating Auger.
•
This can result in shovel and/or foreign object to become
entrapped by rotating auger bit.
DANGER
•
DO NOT connect auger bit to Auger with engine running.
•
A sudden change in engine speed will result in property
damage and/or personal injury.
CAUTION
• When installing auger bit and auger pin, always place Auger
with engine spark plug in upward position to minimize
potential for oil and/or gasoline to enter combustion chamber
and create a hydraulic lock up.
• Such occurrence can result in property damage and/or
personal injury.
CAUTION
• DO NOT use any other connecting device except auger pin
supplied with Auger which is designed to withstand high
stresses encountered while digging.
• Use of any other connecting device, including cap screws,
bolts, pins, etc., can result in damage to Auger driveshaft
and/or auger bit drive hub.
• Improper connecting devices can cause property damage
and/or personal injury.
CAUTION
•
If Auger and/or an individual component/accessory does not
appear to function properly, STOP and DO NOT operate
Auger until corrective action has been completed.
• If you have any questions regarding proper operation of Auger,
contact Customer Service Department for assistance BEFORE
using. There is no charge for this service.
CAUTION
• Restarting engine with auger bit in partially or completely dug
hole requires higher degree of operator experience, skill and
common sense over introductory or novice level expertise.
• Manufacturer is aware many operators restart Auger’s engine
with auger bit in partially or completely dug hole on regular
basis while in the field.
• Manufacturer also realizes procedure must be utilized when
auger bit extension is used to extend digging depth.
Manufacturer has no control over experience, skill and
common sense levels of each operator of the Auger.
• Manufacturer has no control over each job site or specific job
application for the Auger.
DANGER
•
To reduce potential for personal injury, stop Auger
between each hole.
• DO NOT choose to save time (time required to restart
engine), money (if Auger is being rented) or gain added
convenience by electing to keep engine running between
each hole.
• Actions can lead to loss of control, resulting in property
damage and/or personal injury.
DANGER
•
Auger is designed for two operators. Use by only one
operator or by more than two operators will lead to
confusion and loss of control, resulting in property
damage and/or personal injury.
• Start engine according to instructions outlined below to
minimize possibility of unexpected auger bit rotation.
• Unexpected auger bit rotation can result in loss of
machine control and possibility of property damage
and/or personal injury.
