USING YOUR JIFFY PRO4 ICE DRILL
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.
NOTE: If drilling additional holes, turn the engine off and carry unit
in upright position by handles only to next location and
proceed with normal starting and operating instructions.
1. When all holes have been drilled, and engine is stopped, lay unit
down, resting on wing handle with engine spark-plug facing upward.
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.
2. Reattach blade protector to drill assembly to prevent damage to the
blade teeth and point.
TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE
1.
Disconnect propane tank from propane regulator for transportation or
storage.
2.
Always transport and store power head with power head in an
upright (operating) position, carburetor facing upward, or
engine spark-plug facing upward. Make sure powerhead and
drill assembly are properly anchored to prevent damage.
IMPORTANT NOTE: TRANSPORTING YOUR JIFFY ICE DRILL
When transporting your Jiffy Ice Drill on an ATV or
snowmobile, it is extremely important to follow these
instructions and use caution to avoid damage to the power
head (engine and transmission) or related equipment:
There are many after-market ice drill carrier mounting
systems to choose from. Make sure the carrier system you
purchase or use has the proper support for the power head.
Many systems are designed to only support and mount to the
lower drill assembly. This leaves the power head
unsupported. This situation will result in major damage to
the engine and transmission. Take the necessary steps to
insure proper support of the power head as noted above. If
the power head is not properly supported during
transportation, this will void the limited warranty and all
repairs or replacement costs will be the responsibility of the
owner. Purchase the correct carrier mounting system and
exercise extreme caution when transporting the auger.
NOTE: To further protect your power head when
transporting, make sure the power head is covered to
minimize any snow or ice build-up or accumulation on any of
the functional engine parts, such as the carburetor, throttle,
or throttle cable assemblies. Jiffy has an accessory power
head cover (Jiffy #4022) to protect the power head from these
types of conditions and can be purchased at most retail
locations.
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
Check
SPARK PLUG
, periodically.
1. Before removing plug, wipe dirt and debris from spark plug
base.
2.
Remove and inspect spark plug for carbon build up.
3. Replace spark plug if electrodes are pitted, burned, or porcelain
is cracked. For replacement use: Jiffy #4290 Spark Plug,
Autolite® 4194 spark-plug, or equivalent. Failure to use proper
spark-plug may result in engine damage.
4. Check spark-plug gap with wire feeler gauge and set gap
between 0.016” and 0.018”.
5. Install spark plug in engine and tighten securely and reattach
ignition wire to spark plug.
Significant care should be taken regarding operational components
on your Jiffy® Ice Drill due to the extreme cold environment and other
elements that your Jiffy® Ice Drill is subjected to during use and storage.
Melting snow, water and slush are all things that can cause freeze-up of
these components, which could make them inoperable. Many of these
items are the result of transporting your Jiffy® Ice Drill on a sled or other
device pulled behind an ATV or snowmobile, where water, slush, and snow
can be thrown up, collect and freeze on these components. During off
season storage, your Jiffy® Ice Drill is also subject to dirt and debris which
could cause operational concerns. Some type of power head cover should
be used when subjected to these types of conditions. Jiffy® recommends
the Jiffy® Powerhead Cover part #4022, to help protect these conditions.
THROTTLE LEVER AND CONTROL CABLE –
This assembly and the
carburetor throttle shaft should be checked before each use for proper
movement and function. These components should also be lubricated
periodically by spraying silicone spray down both ends of the throttle cable
sheath, as well as on the throttle shaft on the carburetor. See below for
lubricating points. This lubricating procedure should also be performed at
the end of the season before storage. Also check throttle cable for any
bends or kinks, which can also cause improper operation of the throttle
assembly.
EZ CONNECT COLLAR™ -
This item is used to connect your Jiffy® power
head to the drill assembly and should be checked before each use for
proper installation and connection. Improper installation or positioning of
the EZ Connect Collar™ could cause the loss of your drill assembly down
the hole if the connection is not properly installed.
AIR FILTER
– The engine has an air cleaner which helps prevent
premature engine wear and failure. Never run an engine without a
complete, clean air filter properly installed. Clean or replace air filter as
needed
.
REPLACEMENT BLADE –
Improper or difficult cutting may be due to dull
or damaged drill blade or drill point. Maintain sharp blade teeth and point.
Preserve the original factory cutting angles when sharpening your drill. File
blade teeth and use a disk sander to sharpen the point. Only genuine Jiffy®
blades are to be used.
END OF SEASON CARE
1.
Lubricate throttle cable and carburetor throttle shaft.
2. Check the entire ice drill for any loose hardware. Tighten
hardware, if necessary.
3.
Disconnect the propane tank from the propane regulator.
4. Engine oil should be changed once a year. Jiffy® recommends
doing this at the end of the season.
5. Store power head with the power head in the upright (operating)
position or laid down with the spark plug up.
6.
Check spark plug. Replace if necessary and gap between 0.016”
and 0.018”.
