Storage
Proper procedure for long term storage of the Hole
Digger will protect it against the affects of corrosion and
damage. If the Hole Digger is not to be operated for a
period of 30 days or more, proceed to store as follows:
1) Clean all accumulated dirt and grease from the Hole
Digger utilizing an approved safety solvent.
Observe all applicable safety precautions for the
solvent
2) Follow the procedure as outlined in the material
supplied by the engine manufacturer detailing long
term storage of the engine.
3) Check all visible parts for wear, breakage or
damage. Order any part required to make the
necessary repair. This will avoid a needless delay when
operating the Hole Digger at next use.
4) Apply a light coat of protective grease to the
transmission final driveshaft to prevent the formation of
rust.
5) Do not store the Hole Digger connected to an auger.
Always store the Hole Digger with the operator handle
level with the ground.
