TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY FROM REACTIVE
FORCES, THE OPERATOR MUST HAVE A FIRM GRIP
ON THE MACHINE AND A GOOD FOOTHOLD ON THE
ICE BEFORE STARTING THE DRILL AND OPENING
THE THROTTLE.
KEEP HANDS, FEET, HAIR, DRAW STINGS, SCARVES,
HATS AND LOOSE CLOTHING AWAY FROM ANY
MOVING PARTS OF THE UNIT.
MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENTS
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.
Using silicon spray to lubricate the throttle a few times a
year will help prevent the throttle from freezing up and to keep the
throttle in good working order during the season.
EZ CONNECT™ COLLAR
-
This item is used to connect your
Jiffy® powerhead 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. Loss of drill assembly due to improper
assembly of the EZ Connect™ Collar is not covered under the
Jiffy® Limited Warranty.
REPLACEMENT BLADE
–
Difficult drilling may be due to a
dull or damaged drill blade or drill center point. Maintain sharp
blade teeth and center point. Preserve the original factory cutting
angles when sharpening your blades. You can also use the Jiffy®
Blade Sharpener. Only genuine Jiffy® blades are to be used.
END OF SEASON CARE:
1. Check the entire Ice Drill for any loose hardware. Tighten
hardware, if necessary.
2. Store the power head with drill assembly attached in the
upright operating position or laid down on its side.
3. If the battery will not be used for 3 months or more, fully
charge the battery and store at room temperature, if the
battery has been stored for more than 6 months, battery
will need to be fully charged before use.
