THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED FOR THE USE OF
THE NONFLIGHTED AUGER EXTENSION OFFERS
THE MOST ADAPTABLE METHOD OF EXTENDING
THE DIGGING DEPTH FOR THE WIDEST CROSS
SECTION OF PROBABLE OPERATORS. THIS
PROCEDURE TAKES INTO ACCOUNT
ANTICIPATED OPERATOR EXPERIENCE, SKILL
AND COMMON SENSE. THE MANUFACTURER IS
AWARE THAT NOT ALL OPERATORS WILL ELECT
TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE. THE
MANUFACTURER HAS NO CONTROL OVER
INDIVIDUAL OPERATION PROCEDURES AND/OR
DECISIONS. MANY OPERATORS MAY ELECT TO
UTILIZE THE NONFLIGHTED AUGER EXTENSION
CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO THE AUGER AND
BYPASS THE LONGER, MORE TIME CONSUMING
PROCEDURE OUTLINED ABOVE. INDIVIDUAL
OPERATORS MAY ELECT TO CHOOSE OTHER
PROCEDURES IN AN EFFORT TO REDUCE THE
ASSOCIATED PRODUCTION COSTS. THE
RESULTING MACHINE CONFIGURATIONS CAN
PLACE THE HANDLE ALMOST LEVEL WITH (OR
EVEN ABOVE) THE SHOULDERS OF THE
OPERATOR. AT THIS HEIGHT LEVEL, THE HOLE
DIGGER IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AGAINST
POSSIBLE KICKBACK FORCES. THIS IS NOT A
MANUFACTURER APPROVED PROCEDURE
BECAUSE IT REQUIRES EACH POTENTIAL
OPERATOR TO HAVE EXCEPTIONAL HEIGHT AND
EXPERT WORK EXPERIENCE, SKILL AND
COMMON SENSE. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS
STILL NO REAL ASSURANCE THAT EACH AND
E
VERY OPERATOR WITH EXCEPTIONAL HEIGHT
AND EXPERIENCE, SKILL AND COMMON SENSE
C
AN ALWAYS EXERCISE ADEQUATE CONTROL
OF THE HOLE DIGGER TO GUARANTEE
PERSONAL SAFETY. PERSONAL SAFETY CAN
NEVER BE GUARANTEED FOR ANY GIVEN
AND/OR SPECIFIC JOB APPLICATION FOR ANY
TYPE OF POWERED EQUIPMENT. THE ACCEPTED
PROCEDURE, AS OUTLINED IN THIS OPERATOR'S
MANUAL, IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. THE
MANUFACTURER CAN NOT CONDONE AND/OR
APPROVE ANY OTHER PROCEDURE.

1 each, #2 Phillips head screwdriver
1 each, torque wrench, 120 inch pounds (13.5 N.m.)
capacity with 7/16 inch socket
1 each, rubber hammer
Parts Required:
1 each, PN 240-0100 gasket.
1 each, PN 210-0720 grease product or 8 ounces
(224g) of high temperature transmission
or marine-grade, wheel bearing grease
classified for extreme pressure (EP)
applications. Fisk Brothers (Lubriplate brand)
GR132 is an approved lubricant.
The 240 Hole Digger utilizes a fully enclosed, double
reduction transmission for multiplying and transmitting
engine torque to the auger. The principle involves
engine horsepower and torque being transmitted
through a centrifugal clutch and two sets of gear
reductions into a final driveshaft. Grease is provided for
lubrication and heat dissipation for the bearings, gears
and clutch assembly.
A pressure relief valve, PN 5677, is located on the top
surface of the transmission cover to relieve any excess
pressure created in the transmission due to heat rise.
Should this valve become plugged, the following
problems can occur:
