Operator and safety notes
- Only operate from the machine cab; ensure a trained operator is in control at all times.
- Check hitch pins and hydraulic connections before use — the double-pin cradle must be fully engaged.
- Wear appropriate PPE: gloves, eye protection, hi‑vis and steel-toe boots. Keep bystanders clear.
- Use the correct auger diameter for your task and avoid attempting to bore through unknown services—use cable/utility detection first.
