manufactured to give you many years of dependable service. Your Auger Bucket will require some minor
maintenance to keep it in top working condition. Be sure to observe all maintenance procedures and safety
precautions in this manual and the safety decals located on the bucket and on any equipment on which it is
mounted.

to operate your auger bucket. Remember, never let anyone operate this unit without them having read and
completely understanding the “Safety Precautions” and “Operating Instructions” section of the manual, or
having them be fully trained by an experienced, qualified person who has read and completely understands
the “Safety Precautions” and “Operating Instructions”.

Safety Precautions
Safety Alert Symbol
This is the “Safety Alert Symbol” used by this industry. This symbol is used to warn of
possible injury. Be sure to read all warnings carefully. They are included for your safety and
for the safety of others working around you.
Signal Words
Note the use of signal words Danger, Warning, and Caution with the safety messages. The appropriate
signal word for reach has been selected using the following guidelines:
● DANGER: Indicates an immediate hazardous situation in which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme situations; typically for machine
components which, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.
1

● WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation in which, if not avoided, can result in death or
serious injury and indicated hazards that exposed when guards are removed. It may also be used to
alert against unsafe practices.
● CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
Safety Rules
To insure skid steer stability, and to prevent tipping, always observe the following safety rules:
● Keep clear of unit while in operation.
● Before operating the skid steer, read the operating and safety instructions provided by the
manufacturer. Observe all warnings and caution particularly those which describe the use of seat
belts and other operator restraints and those which describe the proper way of carrying loads as
close to the ground as possible.
● When using the Auger Bucket be sure that the proper weight of the load is not too heavy. A light load
sticking out too far can have the same tipping effect on the loader as a heavy load carried too close.
● Never operate the Postmaster when people are standing by the unit and could be injured.
● Do not obstruct your vision when traveling or working. Carry the Postmaster low for maximum stability
and visibility when traveling.
● Operate at speeds slow enough so that you have complete control at all times. Travel slowly over
rough or slippery ground and on hillsides.
● Avoid steep slopes or unstable surfaces. If you must drive on a slope, keep the load low and proceed
with extreme caution. Do not drive across a steep slope under any circumstances. Drive straight up
and down the slope.
● Avoid turning on an incline, if at all possible. If it is necessary, use extreme caution and make the turn
wide and slow with the bucket carried low.
If you can't see where you are going then stop.
Skid-steer Loader Safety
1. Read the entire skid-steer loader operators manual before ever attempting to use the skid steer
loader. This knowledge is necessary for safe operation.
2. Follow all safety decals on the skid-steer loader. Keep them clean and replace them if they become
worn and hard to read.
3. Know the limitation of your equipment. Do not use equipment for anything other than what it was
originally designed for.
4. Pay attention to the job at hand. Do not let your mind lose concentration on what you are doing.
5. Use your seat belt and R.O.P.S. (Roll Over Protective Structure) when operating the skid-steer
loader. Keep belt and R.O.P.S. in good repair. Do not modify R.O.P.S. or seat belt. Do not remove
R.O.P.S. or seat belt. Overturning the skid-steer loader without proper R.O.P.S. and seat belt can
result in death.
6. Fasten your seatbelt before and during skid steer loader operation. Remain seated at all times.

7. Do not take passengers on the skid steer loader or attachment. There is no safe place for a
passenger.
8. Use hand hold when getting on and off the skid-steer loader. Failure to do so could cause a fall.
9. Inspect the skid steer loader before you try to operate the unit. Check for needed maintenance or
repairs and have them done before using the equipment.
10.Never leave the skid steer loader running unattended. Always lower lift arms, set parking brake, turn
off engine, and remove key.
11.Wear appropriate clothing such as safety glasses, ear plugs, etc. Do not wear loose fitting clothing; it
may catch on the equipment. Always wear a hardhat when operating the skid-steer loader to prevent
head injury.
12.When driving on public roads use safety light, reflectors, slow moving vehicle sign, etc., to prevent
accidents. Check with local governments for regulations that may affect you.
13.Turn off the skid-steer loader before performing maintenance. If the lift arms must be left raised for
any reason, use a positive lift arm lock to secure arms in place. Serious damage or personal injury
could result from lift arms accidentally lowering.
14.Reduce speed when driving on rough terrain, slopes, or turning, to avoid overturning the skid-steer
loader.
15.Do not smoke when refueling the skid-steer loader. Allow room in the gas tank for expansion. Wipe
up any spilled liquid. Secure cap tightly when done.
Escaping fluid under pressure can have efficient force to penetrate the skin causing serious
personal injury. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use a piece of
cardboard or wood, rather than your hands, to search for suspected leaks.
Keep unprotected body parts, such as face, eyes, and arms, as far away as possible from a suspected leak.
Flesh injected with hydraulic fluid may develop gangrene or other permanent disabilities. If injured by
injected fluid, see a doctor at once. If your doctor is not familiar with this type of injury, ask him to research
immediately to determine proper treatment.

Pre-Operation
General Information
The purpose of this manual is to assist in setting up, operating, and maintaining your auger bucket. Parts
lists and diagrams along with optional equipment available are located at the back of this manual. The
illustration and data used in this manual were current at the time of printing, however, we reserve the right to
redesign and change the auger buckets as may be necessary without notification.
Preparing the Vehicle
Your skid-steer must be equipped with a universal quick-tach hitch and auxiliary hydraulics. read your
skid-steer loader operator's manual and know the limitations of your skid-steer loader, it may require the
addition of a counterweight kit to ensure that the combined weight of the bucket and the material does not
exceed the rated capacity of your loader.
Note: An easy formula for calculating weight:
● 1/2 yard bucket and material - empty bucket weight + 2000 lbs.
● 3/4 yard bucket and material - empty bucket weight + 3000 lbs.
Selecting the Right Auger for the Job
Mixing Auger
The mixing auger should be used anytime you are mixing your own material. This auger has the wear rubber
reversed for the first half of the auger (motor end) and then regular for the discharge end. This auger also
has 40% more hardware than a discharge auger for added durability.
Discharge Auger
The discharge auger should be used for the discharge of most materials such as: sand, concrete (0" - 5"
Slump) with 3/4" rocks, pea gravel, and rock up to 3/8". This auger has the wear rubber on one side
(discharge side) of the belting on the rubber flights.
Do not use the discharge auger for mixing. Running this auger in the reverse direction
(mixing) will result in extreme premature wear of the rubber flighting.
Steel Auger
The steel auger should be used on asphalt and any dry mixtures or materials.
