CONNECTION OF THE AUGER TO THE REDUCTION GEAR
Combine drive shaft and shank end. Insert the shaft into the shank end. Fix
the connection with the help of pin. Use the adapter if you want to set the
auger bit with another type or diameter of the attachement.
AUGER CHECKUP
1. Check availability of all parts. This goes especially for the spark plug.
2. Check the air intake and outlet for clogging.
3. The auger uses an air-cooled engine. If the air passage is blocked, the
engine may overheat.
4. Check the air filter for dirt. A dirty air cleaner will cause the auger to burn
excess fuel.

detergent oil. It’s not recommended to use vegetable-based fluid. Check
the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level position.

mended range.
