WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Always follow “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” provided in
this manual before dismounting the tractor.
Refer to Refer to Figure 2-1:
1.
With auger attached to the gearbox shaft, lower
3-point so that the auger tip is resting on the ground.
2.
While supporting yoke tube (#4), remove pivot
pin (#1) at boom and yoke tube connection (#3). If
included, be careful not to lose spacers (#7) between
boom and yoke.
3.
Reposition boom and yoke tube connection (#3) to
best suit type of tractor this unit is mounted to that will
achieve a hole depth of 40".
4.
Reinstall pivot pin (#1) and if included, bushings (#7).
Secure pivot pin with cotter pin (#2). Bend one or
more legs of cotter pin to keep cotter pin from falling
out. If pivot pin (#1) is moved closer to the tractor,
recheck digger clearance. Refer to
5.
If desired hole depth cannot be achieved, an auger
extension shaft may be needed, (extension shafts
are sold as an accessory).
6.
If Land Pride’s Down Pressure Kit is in use and the
boom and yoke tube connection has been changed,
the Down Pressure Kit will also need to be reset. See
on page 31 of this
manual.
IMPORTANT:
Cab tractors: Glass can break if
NOTE:
To help avoid glass breakage and increase
hole depth, adjust yoke (4) and yoke pin (#1) to a
mounting hole farther away from the tractor and/or
move center three point hitch pin (#6) to the top
mounting hole on the tractor.
