OPERATION
BEFORE USE
Check the security of the auger. Ensure the securing nuts are tight.
Check for fuel leaks and rectify before use.
Check for any damage and rectify before use or consult your Clarke dealer.
After selecting the site for the required hole, clear the area of any plant
material that might get caught up in the auger as it rotates. Grasp the handle
bar firmly and take a balanced, firm stance with both feet. Start the engine
and allow it to run on idle for a couple of minutes to ensure it is running
smoothly.
ENGINE STARTING
The control handle as shown,
comprises three components.
•
Safety Lever
•
Throttle Lever
•
Stop/Start Switch
The illustration shows all 3 controls in
the STARTING position (both levers
released and the stop/start button
central
).
1. Lay the machine, with the auger
attached, on its side with the
starter pull rope facing upwards.
2. Press the priming bulb 5-6 times
until the bulb becomes full of fuel
and firm to the touch.
3. Set the
Stop/Start
switch in its
central (START) position.
4. Grasp the pull rope and pull
sharply. If sufficiently warm, the
engine should start within 2 or 3 pulls.
WARNING: DO NOT PRESS THE SAFETY OR THROTTLE LEVER ON START-UP.
THIS WOULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO START AT HIGH RPM WITH THE AUGER
BIT ROTATING IMMEDIATELY AND CREATING A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS
