ASSEMBLY 
WING HANDLE INSTALLATION

  (See diagram – some units may 

have handle installed. 
 
Fasten both wing handle halves (Ref. No. 2) to wing handle plate 
#2823 using 4-hex capscrews (#2840) and 4-locknuts (#2841).  Affix 
handles to underside of wing handle plate with looped part of wing 
handle halves angled up.  Insert capscrew from top of wing handle 
plate downward through wing handle tube and secure with locknuts.  
Tighten locknuts securely, and periodically recheck to make sure 
they remain tight.

DRILL ASSEMBLY TO POWERHEAD 

Attach drilling assembly to powerhead by sliding open end of drill 
shaft tube onto gear box output shaft.  Align hole in drill shaft with 
hole in main gear assembly and affix by inserting sockethead 
capscrew (#2011) through hole in drill assembly collar and threading 
into hexnut (#2157).  Then tighten securely with 5/16” hex key 
wrench.

OIL & FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS 

TO OPERATE YOUR DRILL, YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING: 
 

1. 

A CLEAN, HIGH QUALITY 2 CYCLE OIL.  (DO NOT USE 
MULTI-VISCOSITY OILS). DISREGARD INSTRUCTIONS 
ON OIL CONTAINERS. 

 

2. 

A FRESH CLEAN, UNLEADED REGULAR AUTOMOTIVE 
GASOLINE.  (Leaded “Regular” grade gasoline is an 
acceptable substitute). 

 

NOTE: 

DO NOT USE GASOLINE CONTAINING METHANOL 

(WOOD ALCOHOL).  Gasoline containing a maximum of 
10% ethanol or grain alcohol (sometimes called “Gasohol”) 
may be used but requires special care when engine is 
unused for extended periods.  See “STORAGE” 
instructions in the enclosed engine manual or contact your 
nearest Tecumseh Service Center. 

 
 

NEVER MIX OR STORE GASOLINE/OIL MIXTURE 
INDOORS OR IN ENCLOSED, POORLY VENTILATED 
ENCLOSURES, WHERE FUEL FUMES MAY REACH AN 
OPEN FLAME, SPARK OR PILOT LIGHT AS ON A 
FURNACE, WATER HEATER, CLOTHES DRYER, ETC. 

 
FUELING 

1. 

Gasoline vapor pressure may build up inside gas tank of a two 
cycle engine depending on weather conditions, venting system 
of the tank, and the fuel used.  To reduce the risk of injury from 
escaping gas fumes and vapor, remove the gas cap on your 
drill slowly to release pressure build-up. 

2. 

Fill fuel tank with fuel mixture specified in the preceding “Oil and 
Fuel Recommendations”.  Never use stale gasoline left over 
from last season or stored for long periods. 

 

NEVER FILL FUEL TANK INDOORS, WHILE ENGINE IS 
RUNNING, OR WHILE ENGINE IS HOT. 
 
NEVER FILL FUEL TANK COMPLETELY.  FILL TANK TO ½ 
INCH BELOW BOTTOM OF FILLER NECK TO PROVIDE 
SPACE FOR FUEL EXPANSION.  WIPE ANY FUEL 
SPILLAGE FROM ENGINE AND EQUIPMENT BEFORE 
STARTING ENGINE. 

 

TO MIX OIL AND GASOLINE 

1.  Mix a brand name gasoline and quality two-cycle engine oil in an 

approved, clean, safety-type container.  Inferior quality gasoline or oil 
may damage the engine, sealing rings, fuel lines or fuel tank. 

2. 

Add recommended oil to gasoline per FUEL MIX CHART.  DO NOT 
MIX DIRECTLY IN ENGINE FUEL TANK.  Pour oil into container first 
then add gasoline. 

3. 

Securely screw cap on container and shake vigorously.  Once mixed, oil 
and gasoline should not separate.

2 Gal.       10.7 oz.          8 Liters         333 ml 

 
CHECK THE FOLLOWING BEFORE STARTING YOUR DRILL 

1. 

Be sure spark plug wire is ATTACHED to spark plug. 

2. 

Be sure ignition switch is in the ON Position. 

3. 

Be sure air vent screw on fuel tank can is OPEN. 

4.  Inspect the machine for proper condition and operation, paying 

special attention to the throttle rod, on/off switch, and drilling 
assembly. 

 

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY FROM THE TURNING DRILL 
ASSEMBLY OR FROM REACTIVE FORCES, THE THROTTLE 
ROD AND RELATED MECHANISM MUST MOVE FREELY AND 
RETURN IMMEDIATELY TO THE IDLE POSITION WHEN IT IS 
RELEASED. 
 
NEVER OPERATE YOUR DRILL IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED, 
IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED OR NOT COMPLETELY AND 
SECURELY ASSEMBLED.

 

  

STARTING INSTRUCTIONS 

NEVER RUN ENGINE INDOORS OR IN ENCLOSED, POORLY 
VENTILATED AREAS.  ENGINE EXHAUST CONTAINS CARBON 
MONOXIDE, AN ODORLESS AND DEADLY GAS. 
 
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY FROM REACTIVE FORCES, 
THE OPERATOR MUST HAVE A FIRM GRIP ON THE MACHINE 
AND A GOOD FOOTHOLD BEFORE STARTINIG THE DRILL AND 
OPENING THE THROTTLE. 
 
KEEP HANDS, FEET, HAIR AND LOOSE CLOTHING AWAY 
FROM ANY MOVING PARTS ON ENGINE AND EQUIPMENT. 
 
WARNING – TEMPERATURE OF MUFFLER AND 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.
