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
STARTING 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.
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 and
could result in damage or injury. Always maintain firm grip
and good balance when operating your drill.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
For new, detailed starting
instructions and other important
information, read the Tecumseh
Operator’s Manual #181-1274-14
for TM049XA engines
2.
CAUTION: DO NOT
start engine without pushing in yellow
compression relief valve first. Failure to do so may result in
bruised fingers and accidental equipment movement which
could result in minor or moderate injury. Follow Tecumseh
Operator Manual for detailed instructions.
3.
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
you hand
. DO NOT
let starter rope snap back, rather guide
it slowly into the housing to allow proper rewind.
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.
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.
2.
After starting, but prior to throttle advancement to engage clutch, grip
left hand handle firmly. The right hand should grip handle on opposite
side and the right 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° C)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
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.
, to next location and proceed with normal starting
and operating instructions.
7.
Position powerhead with the filler neck of the fuel tank in the upper-most
position to prevent fuel spillage.
8.

blade teeth and point.
1.
Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and keep it away from spark
plug.
TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE
2.
Make sure all fuel is drained from fuel tank, fuel cap is screwed on tight,
and screw vent on cap is tightly closed.
3.
Always transport and store powerhead in an upright position and make
sure powerhead and drill assembly are properly anchored to prevent
damage.
4.
Never store powerhead with fuel in tank 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.
1.
Before removing plug, wipe dirt and debris from spark plug base.
