Filling Gas tank
1. Shut-off engine and allow engine to completely cool before refill-
ing the gas tank.
2. Move to a well ventilated area, outdoors, away from flames and
sparks.
3. Clean debris from area around the gas cap.
4. Loosen gas cap slowly. Place the cap on a clean, dry surface.
5. Carefully add fuel without spilling.
6. Do not fill gas tank completely full, allow space for fuel to ex-
pand.
7. Immediately replace gas cap and tighten. Wipe off spilled fuel
and allow to dry before starting engine.
NORMAL OPERAtiON
1. The clutch will transfer maximum power after about two hours
of normal operation. During this break-in period clutch slippage
may occur. The clutch should be kept free of oil or other mois-
ture for efficient operation.
2. Drill holes without placing excessive body weight on the unit.
The auger operates most efficiently with a shaving action
caused by the weight of the unit itself.
3. Never run engine indoors. Exhaust fumes are deadly.
4. Do not use an ice auger in the earth.
5. The ice auger blade protector should be attached to the auger
head when not in use. This will protect the cutting edge of the
ice auger blades.
6. To attach auger to powerhead if not done, align hole at top of
shaft with output shaft hole. Insert bolt and secure bolt with
provided allen wrench.
NOTE: The ends of the bolt should be flush with auger col-
lar. Bolt head and thread end should never go beyond ice
collar.
uSiNG tHE SCREW tYPE, MANuAL vENtiNG GAS
CAP
Your power ice auger is equipped with a screw type, manual venting
gas cap.
1. Before starting the engine, turn the screw in the top of the gas
cap all the way open (counterclockwise) to its venting position.
To ensure that gas will not spill during use, check that the gas
cap is screwed on tightly and the gas cap screw is in the venting
position.
2. After using the power ice auger and before putting away or
transporting it in a vehicle, screw the gas cap screw on (clock-
wise) tightly. This will prevent gas from leaking during storage.
The gas cap will not leak gas during storage if the gas cap is
tight and the screw at the top is tight.
NOTE: When storing unit for prolonged periods of time in
warm weather, vent gas cap to prevent gas from leaking
from carburetor.
