Maintenance Continued
There are a multitude of auger teeth available on the market. All of them have di
ff
erent capabilities
and di
ff
erent lifespans. Most all of the teeth available are interchangeable across all manufacturers
of augers.
1. Using a hammer and punch, strike the rear of the tooth accessed through the shank plate teeth
access hole until the tooth has come dislodged from the shank plate.
2. Remove any residual rubber from the core of the tooth that may have stuck to the shank plate
over time.
3. Inspect the shank plate and the tooth cavity for any fatigue and wear. If required the shank plate
can be replaced.
4. Install new tooth in to the tooth pocket utilizing a soft tip mallet. Ensure tooth is completely seat-
ed in the pocket. Do not use metal hammer to accomplish this task.

Troubleshooting EDCO 2PH
• Engine bogs down and will not rotate driveshaft upon engaging throttle: clutch is locked up or
seized
• Clutch engages at idle speed, or auger rotates at idle speed: Centrifugal clutch is worn out
• Clutch engages at idle speed, or auger rotates at idle speed: Throttle linkage is adjusted improp-
erly
• Clutch engages at idle speed, or auger rotates at idle speed: Engine idle speed is not set correctly
• Hole Digger is not digging or “lacking power” to accomplish task: Centrifugal clutch is worn out
• Hole Digger is not digging or “lacking power” to accomplish task: Auger diameter is too large for
soil
