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, and 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. The Jiffy® 4-Stroke Engine on the Pro4 Lite™ Power Ice Drill is
an all position engine, meaning it can be laid on any side, but
not upside-down. When storing the unit for long periods of time,
it is recommended to set the PRO4 Lite™ down with the spark
plug facing upward, the carburetor facing upward or in the
upright (operating) position. Oil can migrate over time, which
may result in some oil leakage. Note: Check the oil level before
each use.
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 #4444 Spark Plug or NGK
#7599 CMR5H spark-plug. Failure to use proper spark-plug may
result in engine damage.
4. Check spark-plug gap with wire feeler gauge and set gap between
.016” and 0.018”.
5. Install spark plug in engine and tighten securely and reattach the
ignition wire to the 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 photos 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”.
