1) The Hole Digger is designed for one operator to
transport it by the operator handle to, while on, and
from the job site. Connect the auger to the Hole Digger
with the correct, factory-supplied auger pin. All 200
Series Hole Diggers utilize the 3/8 inch (9.5 mm)
diameter pin, PN 2121 Auger Pin.
The auger pin supplied with the Hole Digger is
designed to withstand the high stress encountered
while digging. Use of any other connecting device,
including cap screws, bolts, pins, etc., can result in
damage to the Hole Digger driveshaft and/or auger
drive hub. Improper connecting devices can cause
property damage and/or personal injury.
DO NOT CONNECT THE AUGER TO THE HOLE
DIGGER WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. A SUDDEN
CHANGE IN THE ENGINE SPEED WILL RESULT IN
HOLE DIGGER DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL
INJURY.
THE 240 HOLE DIGGER IS DESIGNED FOR ONE
MAN OPERATION. USE BY MORE THAN ONE
OPERATOR WILL LEAD TO CONFUSION AND
LOSS OF CONTROL, RESULTING IN HOLE
DIGGER DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
THE CONTROLS ARE DESIGNED FOR THE
OPERATOR TO CHOKE AND START THE ENGINE
WITH HIS LEFT HAND WHILE OPERATING THE
THROTTLE CONTROL WITH HIS RIGHT HAND.
WITH THIS INTENDED OPERATING POSITION, THE
ENGINE EXHAUST MUFFLER WILL FACE

STARTING THE ENGINE WITH THE AUGER
CONNECTED TO THE AUGER DRIVESHAFT.
1) Grass and other overgrowth conditions will hamper
the digging characteristics of any earth auger by
becoming "clogged" around the auger blade and screw
bit. Removal of such obstructions from the hole
location will increase digging efficiency and overall
productivity.
2) Place the Hole Digger on the desired hole location.
The engine throttle is intended to be controlled by the
operator's right hand. The engine is intended to be
started by the operatorʼ s left hand. Do not operate the
Hole Digger with the engine throttle control being
controlled by the operator's left hand. The operator
should position himself on firm footing. FIGURE 2.
