Operator’s Responsibilities

Hazard control and accident prevention are dependent 
upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper 
training involved in the operation, transport, storage, and 
maintenance of the Post Hole Digger. Therefore, it is 
absolutely essential that no one operates the Post Hole 
Digger unless they are age 16 or older and have read, 
fully understood, and are totally familiar with the 
Operator’s Manual. Make sure the operator has paid 
particular attention to:

Perform the following inspections before using your Post 
Hole Digger.

DANGER

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  

Inspect interlock control system regularly and perform 

required maintenance to keep it operating properly.

Never bypass or modify a safety device.

All guards and shields must be installed and in good 

working condition while operating the implement.

Never operate equipment from outside the cab.

Always operate skid steer while seated in the cab with seat 

bar lowered when equipped and seat belt properly fastened. 
The operator can be pinched, crushed, or thrown if not 
properly seated in the cab or if operating loader arms from 
outside the cab.

Keep your head, arms, and legs inside the cab while 

operating the power machine. Any extremity extended 
outside the cab can be crushed by the loader arms and 
attachment.

Make sure the site is free from hazards before drilling. Look 

for obstacles on the ground, beneath mulching, and below 
the ground that may need to be removed such as landscape 
fabric, wire, etc. Hand digging may be necessary to verify 
the presence of underground materials.

Operating Checklist

Make sure there are no hydraulic leaks. 
Refer to “Avoid High Pressure Fluids Hazard”.

3

Read and follow hook-up & preparation. 
Refer to “Section 1: Assembly & Set-up”.

9

Read and follow all operating procedures. 
Refer to “Section 2: Operating Procedures”.

16

See “Section 4: Maintenance & Lubrication”.

24

Read and follow all Lubrication Instructions. 
Refer to “Lubrication Points”.

26

Make sure gearbox is properly lubricated.
Refer to gearbox lubrication.

26

Check equipment initially and periodically for 
loose hardware. See “Torque Values Chart”.

31

Keep attachment, loader arms, and/or load away from 

overhead electrical power lines. Place an orange warning 
sign under overhead lines indicating type of danger above.

Keep all persons away from the post hole digger while 

lowering and raising the unit. A person can be hit, pinched, 
or crushed by the unit.

Do not drill through landscape fabric. Prior to drilling, cut 

a hole in the fabric sufficiently larger than the diameter of 
the auger to prevent auger entanglement with the fabric. 
Fabric caught in the auger can pull a bystander into the 
auger.

Do not allow anyone to manually guide the auger bit to 

position its point on the ground while it is rotating. A person 
will become entangled in the auger or hit by the auger.

Do not allow anyone to manually push down on the post 

hole digger, or put anything or anyone on the unit for the 
purpose of adding weight to the unit. Objects and people 
can be thrown, pinched, or entangled in the unit.

Keep others away from the post hole digger while the auger 

is rotating. A person can become entangled in the auger or 
hit by the auger if it swings erratically. Anyone helping 
should be kept a safe distance (a minimum of 20 feet or 6 
meters) from the unit while it is rotating.

Do not remove spoil-pile with hand tools while auger is 

operating. Doing so can result in serious injury or death.

Do not go near or under raised lift arms unless an approved 

lift-arm support is available and is used to secure the lift 
arms in the raised position. 

Use the skid steer’s alternate emergency exit when exit 

passage through the front is blocked.

Do not use hand or foot controls for handholds or steps. 

Using them for handholds or steps can activate the controls.

Keep mud, snow, ice, and debris out of foot controls.

If included, raise restraint bar and move controls until both 

are locked and interlock system is activated.

Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports 

before working under it. Never go under equipment 
supported by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can 
break, hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls 
can be actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.

WARNING

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  

Allow only persons to operate this implement who have 

fully read and comprehended this manual, who have been 
properly trained in the safe operation of this implement, and 
who are age 16 or older. Serious injury or death can result 
from the inability to read, understand, and follow 
instructions provided in this manual.

Always shut power machine down following the “Shutdown 

Procedure” provided in this manual before leaving the 
operator’s seat.

Do not travel across inclines where equipment could slip or 

roll-over. Consult your power machine Operator’s Manual
