SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
3. Ensure that the hydraulic hose couplers are compatible
with the hydraulic quick couplers on the Drive Unit.
If a hydraulic leak develops, correct it
immediately. Escaping hydraulic fl uid can
have extremely high pressure. A stream
of high pressure fl uid may penetrate the
skin. It is imperative that the connections are tight and that
all hoses are in good working condition.
4. Once all of the hydraulic connections have been made and
checked for leaks, the Drive Unit is ready for operation.
Hydraulic hoses and fi ttings used on the
prime mover and Drive Unit must have a
continuous operating pressure rating of
at least 25% higher than the maximum
pressure of the hydraulic system being used. Refer to
the Drive Unit specifi cation chart for allowable maximum
pressure.

INFORMATION PRIOR TO MOUNTING YOUR DRIVE
UNIT TO THE PRIME MOVER. SEE PAGES 7 & 13.
MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION
There are several ways to mount your Drive Unit
depending on the prime mover and application.
A) Skid Steer Mounting (Quick Attach)
1. Remove the skid steer bucket or any other attachment
from the skid steer quick attach mechanism.
2. Attach the quick attach mounting bracket the to the
skid steer
B) Backhoe and Excavator Mounting
1. Remove the bucket from the dipper arm and curl
cylinder pin connections.
AUGER / ANCHOR CONNECTION
1. Align the auger bit or anchor with the output shaft
of the Drive Unit.
2. Slide the connecting coupler (hub) over the output
shaft and align the coupler hole with the output shaft
hole.
3. Connect the auger bit or anchor to the Drive Unit
output shaft and secure it with appropriate connecting
hardware.
When selecting connecting hardware
ensure that the bolt or pin does not
protrude from the coupler (hub) any
more then necessary to secure.
Hardware that protrudes an excessive amount can be
a safety hazard and cause entanglement.
WARNING
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM HOOK-UP
OPERATING PROCEDURES
Your Pengo Planetary Drive Unit receives its hydraulic
oil fl ow and pressure from the prime mover through the
auxiliary hydraulic circuit via two quick release couplers
near the end of the truck boom or excavator arm. Follow
the steps below to complete the hydraulic hook-up
between your prime mover and Drive Unit.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM HOOK-UP
1. Locate the auxiliary hydraulic connection ports on the
prime mover.
2. Determine the length of hydraulic hose necessary to
connect the auxiliary hydraulic circuit to the Drive Unit.
Be sure to allow suffi cient “slack” in the hose length to
allow the Drive Unit to perform it’s full range of operation.
Before operating, always ensure that the Drive Unit and
auger or anchor are connected correctly to the prime
mover.
DRILLING / ANCHORING OPERATION
1. To begin drilling/installation, position the auger or anchor
on the ground in the desired location. Engage the parent
machines auxiliary hydraulics to rotate the auger or anchor
in a clockwise direction.
2. Lower the parent machines arm(s) to engage the
auger or anchor into the ground. Use only enough down
pressure to assure positive penetration. Ease up on the
down pressure if the auger or anchor rotation slows down
drastically or stalls. Excessive down pressure will cause
the Drive Unit to stall frequently.
Note: Do not continually stall the Drive Unit! Continued
stalling may cause excessive heating of the hydraulic
system and possible damage to the Drive Unit.
3. As the auger or anchor digs in the ground, the prime
movers arm(s) or boom may travel through an arc. This
means the operator may need to continually reposition
the auger or anchor to ensure vertical application of the
auger or anchor.
