Before operating always ensure that the PRO-DIG™
Auger Drive and auger or anchor are connected
correctly to the parent machine.
DRILLING OPERATIONS
1. To begin drilling, position the auger or anchor on the ground
in the desired location. Engage the parent machines
auxiliary hydraulics to rotate the auger or anchor in a
clockwise direction.
2. Lower the parent machines arm(s) to engage the auger or
anchor into the ground. Use only enough down pressure
to assure positive penetration of the auger. Ease up on the
down pressure if the auger rotation slows down drastically
or stalls. Excessive down pressure will cause the auger to
stall frequently.
Note: Do not continually stall the PRO-DIG™ Auger
Drive! Continued stalling may cause excessive
heating of the hydraulic system and possible
damage to the PRO-DIG™ Auger Drive.
3. As the auger or anchor digs in the ground, the parent
machines arm(s) or boom may travel through an arc. This
means the operator may need to continually reposition
the machine to ensure vertical application of the auger or
anchor.
4. When the auger has penetrated the ground about 24”
(610mm), raise the auger from the hole to clean out the
loose material.
5. Once the required hole depth is reached, allow the auger
to turn a few seconds at this depth to clean the hole.
6. Stop rotation of the auger and raise the auger out of the
hole. Swing the auger away from the newly drilled hole.
Spin the loose material off the auger.
Note: Do not reverse the auger rotation while the
auger is still in the hole. The loose material will
back ll the hole.
7. If necessary, repeat steps 2 through 3 to obtain a cleaner
hole.
OPERATIONS TO AVOID
1. In some soil conditions or when excessive down pressure
is applied, the auger may screw itself in to the ground.
This can cause the auger to become stuck causing the
PRO-DIG™ Auger Drive to stall. If this situation occurs,
reverse the auger rotation and slowly raise the auger from
the hole.
2. If the auger becomes lodged under rocks, tree roots, or
other large obstructions, do not attempt to raise the auger
out of the ground. See Step 1 of this section to relieve the
auger.
3. Avoid excessive side loading. This can cause damage to
both the PRO-DIG™ Auger Drive and the auger.
4. Keep all auger teeth and pilot bits in good condition. Avoid
using damaged teeth and holders.
• Following operation, or when unhooking, stop, set
brakes, disengage power drives, shut off engine, and
remove the ignition key.
• Store the unit in and way from human activity.
• Before long term storage, wash the unit with mild
detergent and water to remove any debris and grime.
• Do not permit children to play on or around the stored
area.
• Protect the shafts and ports with a grease or rust-
inhibitor.
• Grease bearing seals.
• Check and tighten all bolts, nuts and screws. Paint is
available from your Authorized Service Dealer.
• When storing the unit for any length of time be sure
the unit is stored with clean gear oil.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
• Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor maintenance is an invitation to trouble.
• Always use proper tools or equipment for the job at hand.
• Use extreme caution when making adjustments.
• Never use your hands to locate a hydraulic leak on attachments. Use a small piece of cardboard or wood. Hydraulic uid
escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin.
• Hydraulic uid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and cause injury.
• Fluid accidentally injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form
of injury or gangrene may result.
• When disconnecting hydraulic lines, shut off hydraulic supply and relieve all hydraulic pressure.
• Clean hydraulic oil daily for contamination. If contamination is present, determine the source and correct the problem.
• When replacing bolts refer to this manual.
• Clean the exterior of the unit with a mild detergent and water to remove any debris and grime.
• Paint all scratched or bare metal surfaces.
• Check and tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws.
• Repair or replace any cutting head components that are damaged or worn.
• Check the gearbox for sufcient amount of oil.
• Check the PRO-DIG™ Auger Drive output shaft for bends, cracks, breaks, or wear. Replace if any of these conditions appear.
• Where replacement parts are necessary for periodic maintenance and servicing, genuine factory replacement parts must
be used to restore you unit to original specications. PRO-DIG™will not claim responsibility for use of unapproved parts
or accessories and other damages as a result of their use.
• If equipment has been altered in any way from it original design, PRO-DIG™ does not accept any liability for injury or warranty.
CHECKING AND CHANGING THE GEAR OIL
The Planetary gearbox used on your PRO-DIG™ Drive Head uses a gear oil to keep the internal gears
lubricated. To check and or replace the oil, follow these simple steps.
CHECKING THE GEAR OIL:
1. Make sure the PRO-DIG™ Auger Drive unit is in an upright
position when checking the oil.
2. Slowly loosen the oil ll-drain plug located on the under
side of the gearbox. As you reach the end of the threads
on the plug, oil should start to come out.
3. If you see oil starting to pour out of the port, quickly retighten
the plug. This is an indication that the oil level is adequate, but
in order to correctly measure the amount of oil, the gearbox
should be drained and the correct amount of oil replenished.
See “Changing Gear Oil” section for oil capacity.
CHANGING THE GEAR OIL:
1. Position the PRO-DIG™ Auger Drive unit in a position in
which the oil can ow freely from the gearbox once the
plug is removed.
2. Place a drain pan under the drain port that will hold at
least one gallon of oil.
3.
Remove the drain plug and allow the oil to completely drain out.
4. Position the gearbox for lling by orientating the unit so that
the same port used for draining can now be used to ll.
5. Fill the gearbox with 0.75 Gallons/2.84 Liters of gear oil.
See oil specications below.
LUBRICATION RECOMMENDATIONS:
Mobil Delvac Synthetic Gear Oil 75W-90
Density @15°C 0.859 Viscosity Index: 140
Viscosity @40°C 120 Flash Point °C: 205
Viscosity @100°C 15.9 Pour Point °C: -48
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
The oil should be changed after the rst 50 hrs. of use and
at 500 hr. intervals thereafter. Geardrives in auger drives
require GL-5 grade EP 80/90 gear oil for lubrication. PRO-
DIG™ recommends that the unit be partially disassembled to
inspect gears and bearings at 1000 hr. intervals.
