DHS
HYDRAULIC POST
HOLE DIGGER
6. GETTING STARTED: Push machine tothe
location of the first hole. Start engine and allow to
reach operating temperature. Standing at the rear
of the machine at the control handle. To begin
digging a hole, pull the right hand side of the
control lever. This will cause the auger to turn in a
clockwise direction. Apply downward pressure to
begin digging the hole. If dirt remains in the hole
use an up and down motion toclear excess dirt.
Release the control lever tostop auger. To
reverse the auger rotation (counter-clockwise),
pull the left hand side of the control lever.
7. The amount of force exerted will depend on
the hardness and type of ground conditions.
8. Remember, the DHS is a single person operation,
designed for earth drilling. There may be holes that
will be extremely difficult,if not impossible, to drill.
9. If ground is too hard to drill or the auger is jamming
on ground conditions or foreign objects (eg. wire,
tree roots, etc.), the pressure relief will function,
stalling the auger rotation. Clear auger and start
again. The operator presence control will ensure
quick stop if hand is removed from control lever.
NEVER TIE OR JAM LEVER INTO THE ON
POSITION (FORWARD OR REVERSE).
REVERSE (COUNTER CLOCKWISE) MAY
BE REQUIRED TO UNSCREW JAMMED AUGERS.
10. Do not attempt to drill auger to full depth in one
operation. Continually clearing the hole in an up
and down motion will facilitate a much easier
drilling operation. It may be necessary to clear
cutters and auger flighting from time to time to
ensure quicker and easier cutting.
11. Remember, as in drilling a hole in steel, one needs a
sharp drill. Auger, teeth and pilot MUST be in good
condition if the auger is to work correctly. See wear
parts section for more information.
12. Auger motor head assembly may be
tilted as per incline when drilling on
slopes. DO NOT change the digger
position during drilling. DO NOT operate on a
slope that exceeds 15˚
13. DO NOT over reach. Ensure proper footing and
balance when working with this machine.
WARNING! –Keep hands and feet
clearof all moving parts at all times!
WARNING! –Keep hands and
feet clear of exhaust muffler during
or soon after operation.
14. WARNING! –in case of difficulty,
release the control lever to stop
the auger. All digging action stops.
Press the engine "STOP" button located on
the engine. (See illustration)
15. DO NOT OPERATE
CLOSE TO EDGES
OR EXCAVATIONS ETC.
CHECK FOR ELECTRICAL AND GAS LINES
BEFORE DIGGING
AFTER USE
1) Turn fuel tap to "OFF" position.
2) Allow machine to cool down. Wash mud
and dirt off of the hydraulic post hole digger.
Ensure no water enters the carburettor.
3) Remove any objects that may have wrapped
around the auger.

OPERATION
1) Remove the garden tiller
from its trailer/carrier. Use caution.
2) Familiarize yourself with the machine and its
controls.
3) Ensure the safety clutch control lever is in the
disengagedposition. The safety clutch
control lever is located on the left handle bar.
The disengaged position of the lever is down.
4) Remove the shaft locking pin located behind
the wheel axle. Store pin in hole provided on
left hand side of handle bar.
5) The wheel axle will now pivot. Lift up on the
handle to allowwheelaxle to pivot. For
transport, keep the wheel axle forward. When
cultivating, keep the wheel axle rearward for
added stability and control.
DO NOT transport the tillerwith the wheel
axle in the rear position.
6) Adjust depth shoe(ifequipped) by removing
shaft locking collarand slidingdepth shoe to
desired position. Replace shaft locking collar.
7) Open fuel shut-off valve. Set choke
control to Choke or Start position.
Set throttle control to Run or Fast
position. Set engine
stop switch to On or
Run position. Pull
starter cord rapidly.
Repeat (if necessary)
with choke off.
8) Wheninposition to begingarden tilling,
engage the safety clutch controllever. The

the rearpositionwhile tilling.Release the
safety clutch controllever to stop the tynes
rotating. Tynespeed is governed by engine
throttle setting.
WARNING! –KEEPHANDSAND

TIMES!
9) Do not hurry the job. Proceed slowly and allow
the machine time to do the job. When ground
is extremely hard, reduce engine speed.

USE COMMON SENSE
AND PLENTY OF IT
1) DO NOT allow any person to operate
the hydraulic post hole digger without
first reading and understanding the
safety precautions and operating instructions.
KNOW THE CONTROLS AND HOW TO STOP
THE HYDRAULICPOST HOLE DIGGER
QUICKLY IN AN EMERGENCY. RELEASE
CONTROL LEVERTO STOP AUGER.
2) NEVER allow children or untrained adults to
operate the hydraulic post hole digger.
3) ALWAYS wear
protective clothing
when operating the
hydraulic post hole
digger. This includes, but is not limited to: safety
glasses, hard hat, loose fitting gloves, steel
capped boots and hearing protection. NEVER
wear loose fitting clothing or jewellery when
operating the hydraulic post hole digger. Keep all
clothing away from moving parts. Items could
become caught in the machine, resulting in injury.
4) ALWAYS use hydraulic post hole digger in a
well lit area.
5) ALWAYS make certain the hydraulic couplings
are properly connected prior tostarting the engine.
6) NEVERoperate hydraulic post hole
digger on a slope that exceeds 15˚.
Digging holes on an incline is dangerous
and not recommended.
7) Police the area before
digging. Remove any
foreign objects in the
digging area eg bricks, rocks, wire and sticks.
Locate and mark any sprinkler heads, water pipes,
gas lines, electrical and telephone cables or any
other hazard either below or above ground.
8) DO NOT allow other persons near the
hydraulic post hole digger. It is up to
the operator tokeep bystanders and
animals a minimum of 6 metres away from the
machine while in operation.
9) NEVERoperate the hydraulic post hole digger
when fatigued. ALWAYS BE ALERT! If you get
tired while operating the hydraulic post hole digger,
take a break. If you have any type of physical or
mental condition that may be aggravated by
strenuous work, check with your physician before
you operate this equipment. NEVERoperate the
hydraulic post hole digger under the influence of
medication, alcohol or drugs.
10) ALWAYS KEEP YOUR HANDS, FEET
AND BODY AWAY FROM THE AUGER
WHILE THE MACHINE IS IN USE.
11) DO NOT leave the machine unattended while
the engine is running.
12) DO NOT overspeed the engine or alter the
governor settings. Excessive speed is
dangerous and will shorten engine life.
13) WARNING: Keep away from exhaust
muffler during or soon after operation.
14) NEVERoperate the hydraulic post hole
digger in an enclosed area. Engine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an
odourless and tasteless poison.
15) WARNING: Hydraulic oil is under
extreme pressure and can get under skin
and burn or poison. DO NOT operate
unit with leaking or faulty hose connections or
worn, cut hydraulic lines.
16) STOPthe engine and disconnect the
spark plug lead(s) and allow engine to
cool before inspecting or performing
maintenance on the hydraulic post hole digger.
17) REFUELLING
*Shut off engine. DO NOT REFUEL
AN ENGINE WHILE OPERATING!
*Allow engine tocool. Minimum 5 mins.
*USE UNLEADED FUEL ONLY. Use
clean, fresh unleaded fuel.
*Do not mix oil with unleaded fuel.
* Do not over-fill fuel tank. Allow space
for fuel expansion.
* Do not smoke near equipment.
* Allow no naked flame or hot material
in refuelling area.
* Use only approved fuel containers and
funnels. Remember, fuel is a potential hazard.
*Refer to engine owners manual for full details.
