Operating Procedure - EXTENSIONS & TELESCOPIC AUGER EXTENSIONS
• Once you have obtained the maximum depth with the extension & auger you have, raise the auger out
of the hole & clear the spoil from the auger. Place the auger back into the hole ensuring the auger is
bottomed out in the hole & the hub of the extension is clear & easily accessible. Remove the auger pin to
disengage the drive unit from the auger.
• Install the additional extension onto the auger drive with pin & safety clip, lower the extension & attach
to the auger with second pin & safety clip. Always ensure persons assisting are clear & visible to the
operator at all times.
• Recommence drilling, once you have reached the maximum depth, raise the auger and extension out
of the hole until the eyelets of the extension are visible & just above the hole. Slide the two support bars
through the two heavy duty eyelets or U-brackets welded to the outer extension. Either then remove the
pin & section of extension and place away from the hole. Then re-pin back to the bottom section, take
the weight of the rest of the extension & auger on the machine & remove the support bars. Clear the
auger & then keep repeating these steps.
• For telescopic extensions, use the same method as above, but slide the inner extension back into the
auger & pin.
11 Operating Instructions
Ensure personal safety at all times, determine if access to the auger hub, once the auger is in the hole, is safe, if not safe for
persons assisting, place boards or covers across the hole before attempting to reach across to the hub.

Digga does not accept any liability for injury or damage resulting from the operator using the extension (s) outside the
