Operator's Manual
Propane Powered Ice Auger
General Maintenance
Please refer to the maintenance table for all auger and
engine service. It is important that you read this manual
entirely. Following these recommendations will help you
enjoy your propane auger for many years. The following
routine inspections and maintenance guidelines are
relatively simple to conduct, and require few tools. If any
doubt exists on how to properly do the recommended
maintenance, please call customer service or take to an
authorized service center.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions
control devices and systems may be performed by any
non-road engine repair establishment or individuals.
However, all authorized warranty repairs must be
handled by an authorized service center.
The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating
conditions. If you operate your engine under unusual
conditions, such as sustained high-load or high-temperature
operation, or use in unusually wet or dusty conditions,
consult your servicing dealer for recommendations
applicable to your individual needs and use.
