Safety Precautions

(This list of precautions must be followed at all times to ensure personal & equipment safety).

1. Read this manual from beginning to end before operating or working on this machine.

2. When operating in a closed area, pipe exhaust fumes outside. (WARNING: Breathing

exhaust fumes can cause serious injury and even death).

3. When servicing batteries, avoid any type of spark or open flame. Batteries generate explosive

gases during charging. There must be proper ventilation when charging batteries.

4. Never adjust or repair the unit while it is in operation.

5. Make sure the Control Pendant is in the "OFF" position before starting the unit.

6. Remove all tools and electrical cords before starting the unit.

7. Keep oily rags away from the exhaust system.

8. Never store flammable liquids near the engine.

9. Never stand under drill at any time and keep your eyes on the drill when it is in operation.

Keep a look out for loose bolts or leaking hydraulic lines.

10. Avoid pulling on hose quick disconnect fittings. Move power unit closer to work if hoses cannot

reach.Donotusehosesasatowlinetotugthepowerunit!Ifahosefailsatthehydrauliccouplers

then it is a result of "hose tugging by the pile crew".

11. Avoid kinks in the hoses. Kinks will cut the hose safety factor by 50 percent.

12. Always wear eye and ear protection.

13. Avoid standing downwind of augered holes. Dirt and other matter may become airborne and

fall into the unprotected eye.

14. Always wear a hardhat, gloves and safety shoes.

15. Do not perform maintenance on auger while power unit is on.

16. Look out for falling mud and debris from auger flighting. Never stand near drill while it is doing

work.

17. Do not truck power unit with quick disconnect caps and plugs screwed on to fittings unless the

caps and plugs have wire rope safety lines attached. Store in storage box under control panel.
