NEARBY AREAS MAY EXCEED 150 F (65 C) AVOID
THESE AREAS.
1.
Move CHOKE LEVER to FULL CHOKE POSITION (see Figure
2).
2.
Move ON/OFF switch (see Figure 1) to ON position.
3. Push PRIMER (see Figure 1) five (5) times. Wait about 2
seconds between each push.
NOTE: IF RESTARTING A WARM ENGINE AFTER A SHORT
SHUTDOWN:
A. Move CHOCK LEVER to NO CHOKE position.
B. DO NOT USE PRIMER.
4. Place left hand on spark plug side of handle, right hand on
recoil starter handle, and tip of drill point on ice.
DO NOT
advance or depress throttle when starting engine for this will
prematurely engage clutch and drill assembly.
5.
Grasp STARTER HANDLE (see Figure 1) and pull slowly until
you feel the rewind engage, then give the handle a brisk, strong
pull. Do not wrap the starter rope around your hand. Do not let
the starter rope snap back, rather guide it slowly into the
housing to allow proper rewind. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in personal injury and damage to the
engine.
6.
When the engine starts, move CHOKE LEVER to ½ CHOKE
(warm up) position until the engine warms up. Then position
choke lever to NO CHOKE POSITION.

OPERATION/STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: To minimize water splash, back-off throttle when the drill breaks
thru ice, then raise drill slowly.
NOTE: The clutch slips when the drill is overloaded, when this
happens, raise complete unit slightly to ease load.
NOTE: Remove blade protector from drill assembly prior to drilling.
Reinstall when drilling is complete.
1.
After engine starts, immediately move choke lever to center “Warm-Up”
position until engine warms up. Allow sufficient time for engine warm-
up. If engine stops running, verify fuel cap air vent is open.
2.
After starting, but prior to throttle advancement to engage clutch, grip
left hand handle firmly. The left hand should grip handle on opposite
side and the left thumb should control throttle rod mechanism.
3.
Engage throttle slowly until cutting teeth and drill point have entered
hole completely, then advance throttle.
NOTE: During extreme weather conditions, when air temperature is –15
F, -26 F or colder, the grease in the transmission may stiffen
which may limit unit performance. This is only a temporary
situation and will improve with warmer temperatures.
4. After hole is drilled, slowly raise unit from the hole and move engine stop
switch to OFF position.
5. After engine is stopped, close FUEL CAP air vent.
NOTE: If drilling additional holes, carry unit in upright position by
handles only, to next location and proceed with normal starting
and operating instructions.
6. When all holes have been drilled, lay unit down, resting on wing
handles. Disconnect drill assembly from powerhead by sliding E-Z
Connect™ Collar down and pulling clevis pin from drill assembly. Do not
remove pin from collar tether. Slip drill assembly off of engine output
shaft, then re-insert clevis into drill assembly and slide E-Z Connect™
Collar up to cover clevis pin.
7.
Position powerhead with the filler neck of the fuel tank in the upper-most
position to prevent fuel spillage.
8.
Reattach blade protector to drill assembly to prevent damage to the
blade teeth and point.
