Danuser 2312 AugerBucket - Manual (Page 5)

• Before you operate the attachment, check over pins and connections to be sure all are securely in
place. Make sure the Auger Bucket is securely latched to the skid-steer.
• Keep hands, feet, hair, jewelry, and clothing away from all moving and/or rotating parts.
• Never place yourself between the vehicle and the attachment.
• Never allow anyone under the attachment at any time.
• Never reach into discharge end of auger.
• Keep clear of auger while in operation. Never position the material by hand or with any tool when
the auger is rotating.
• Do not exceed the vehicle’s rated operating load. Use sufficient counterweights. Move the vehicle
slowly when the attachment is raised.
• Carry the load low. A heavy load can cause instability of the vehicle. Use extreme care during
travel. Slow down on turns and watch out for bumps. Use all safety devices, including a seat belt, as
recommended in the vehicle operator’s manual.
• Do not operate the Auger Bucket on steep hillsides. When operating the Auger Bucket on uneven
or hilly terrain, position the vehicle with the attachment uphill. With the attachment downhill, the
vehicle could tip when attempting to raise the Auger Bucket. Consult your vehicle operator’s manual
for maximum incline allowable.
• Always shut off the vehicle engine and remove the key before dismounting the vehicle, adjusting the
attachment, or servicing the Auger Bucket. Never leave equipment unattended with the vehicle
running.
• Never attempt repairs or adjustments while the equipment is in operation.
• Before disconnecting hydraulic lines or fittings be sure to relieve all pressure by cycling all hydraulic
controls after shutdown. Remember hydraulic systems are under pressure whenever the engine is
running and may hold pressure after shutdown.
• Always use care when operating the Auger Bucket. Most accidents occur because of neglect or
carelessness.
Safety is a primary concern in the design, manufacture, sale, and use of Auger Buckets. Danuser confirms
