MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION - DANGER!
No cleaning, upkeep, checks or maintenance when machine is running
Be safe: Shut off the machine, let it cool down, disconnect spark plug cap from spark
Plug.
The machine does not require intense maintenance. However, to ensure a long lifespan,
we strongly recommend following the upkeep and maintenance plan.
1. Upkeep and maintenance plan
2. Cleaning
Clean the machine from soil, dirt, grass etc. Clean the machine housing with a wet cloth and a
mild cleaning solution.
IMPORTANT
The usage of solvents, aggressive chemicals or scouring agents damages the machine
solution.
3. Clean the spark plug
Take off the spark plug cap (I-2). Loosen and remove the spark plug. Clean it with a small
brush from soot debris. The contact distance shall account approx. 0, 5mm or credit card
thickness.
4. Grease the gear box
Grease every 25 operation hours the gearing of the earth auger with a grease gun. Use for
this purpose commercial HQ gearing grease.
You will find the lubrication nipple (Fig. J) on the side of the gearbox.
5. Clean the air filter
A clogged air filter reduces the engines power output drastically and causes engine
dis-function.
Furthermore it reduces the engines lifespan!
Loosen with a hex-key the screw fixing the air filter cover (Fig. E).
Take off the cover and remove the filter (Fig. F).
Clean the air filter (Fig G) with water. Wring it out strongly. Let it dry. Drip some drops of oil
onto the filter. Mount the filter back and mount on the cover again.
6. Disposal
DO NOT dispose your earth auger in the residual waste! Contact your local authorities for
information about best available disposal possibilities in your area. Drain fuel from the fuel
tank completely before disposing the earth
auger. Disaggregate the auger into its components before disposing its components.
7. Storage
When you store the machine longer than 30 days:
●
Drain fuel from fuel tank
●
Remove the spark plug, pour into the cylinder some drops of motor oil. Now pull the starter
cable out slowly so that the engine revolutes several
times in order to distribute the oil in the whole
combustion chamber
●
Clean the spark plug as described in 1.6.3 and
mount it back.
●
Cover the machine with a cloth sheet and store
it at a dry place.
