5) Never fill the fuel tank completely full. Instead, fill the
fuel tank to within 1/4 to 1/2 inch of the top of the tank
to provide space for fuel expansion. Always wipe any
fuel spillage from the engine and the Hole Digger
before starting the engine.
DO NOT SMOKE NEAR THE GASOLINE TANK. DO
NOT FILL THE GASOLINE TANK WITH THE
ENGINE RUNNING OR IF IT IS HOT. ALLOW AMPLE
TIME BETWEEN EACH REFUELING FOR THE
ENGINE TO COOL. DO NOT OPERATE THE
ENGINE WITHOUT THE PROPER FUEL/OIL
MIXTURE RATIO.
Digging Operation
SET UP FOR DIGGING.
When transporting the Hole Digger in/on a motor
vehicle, the gasoline tank breather vent (if so
equipped) must be completely closed to eliminate the
accidental seepage of fuel and resulting potential fire
hazard. In order to minimize the possibility of damage
to the Hole Digger, always transport it to the job site
with the auger disconnected. All equipment must be
secured in/on vehicles with suitable strapping or tie
downs. Personnel should not be transported in the
same compartment as equipment and fuel supplies.
Consult applicable OSHA regulations for specific
information.
An improperly secured Hole Digger and related
accessories can fall from a moving vehicle and
result in property damage and/or personal injury.
1) Secure the auger to the Hole Digger with the
supplied auger pin on the job site.
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 210 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

DIRECTED AWAY FROM THE OPERATOR. DO NOT
OPERATE THE HOLE DIGGER WITH THE ENGINE
EXHAUST MUFFLER/SHIELD TOWARD THE
OPERATOR. THIS OPERATION POSITION WILL
ALLOW THE OPERATOR TO COME IN CONTACT
WITH THE HOT SURFACE OF THE ENGINE
MUFFLER/SHIELD AND RESULT IN PROPERTY
DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
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 teeth 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 to be controlled by the operator's
