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 moisture 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 earth auger in ice.
5. To attach auger to powerhead, align hole at top of
auger shaft with the output shaft hole. Insert 3/8-16 x
1-1/2” bolt and secure bolt with provided 3/8” bi-way
lock nut using a wrench.
Using the Screw Type, Manual Venting Fuel Cap
1. Your auger is equipped with a screw type, manual
venting fuel cap.
2. Before starting the engine, turn the screw in the top
of the fuel cap all the way open (anti-clockwise) to its
venting position. To ensure that fuel will not spill during
use, check that the fuel cap is screwed on tightly and the
fuel cap screw is in the venting position.
3. After using the auger and before putting away or
transporting it in a vehicle, screw the fuel cap screw on
(clockwise) tightly. This will prevent fuel from leaking
during storage. The fuel cap will not leak fuel during
storage if the cap is tight and the screw at the top is
tight.
Starting and Stopping Engine
•
Move engine to a well ventilated area, outdoors, to
prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
•
Move to an area away from flames or sparks, to avoid
ignition of vapours if present.
•
Remove all debris from air cleaner holes and fuel cap to
ensure proper air flow.
Cold Engine Start
Starting engine for first time, or after engine has cooled off,
or after running out of fuel.
1. Open fuel cap vent screw all the way (anti-clockwise).
2. Move choke lever to RUN or OFF position.
3. Prime unit until primer hose is filled with fuel.
4. Move choke lever to CHOKE or ON position.
5. Push rocker switch to the ON position.
6. Squeeze throttle control wide open with right hand.
Grasp starter handle with left hand and pull out slowly,
until it pulls slightly harder. Without letting starter
handle retract, pull rope with a rapid full arm stroke.
Let it return to its original position very slowly until unit
fires or runs. Repeat this step every time the starter rope
is pulled.
7. After onngine starts running, move choke lever to HALF
CHOKE position until unit runs smoothly.
8. Move choke lever to RUN or OFF position and move
throttle to desired speed.
9. To stop engine, push rocker switch to OFF position.
OPERATION
NOTE: The ends of the bolt should be flush with the
auger collar. Bolt head and thread end should never go
beyond earth collar.
NOTE: Choke must be in the RUN or OFF position when
pushing or using the primer bulb.
NOTE: CHOKE position is defined by moving the choke
lever as far to the ON position as possible.
NOTE: If engine fails to start after 5-6 pulls, push
primer one time and pull starter rope again.
NOTE: HALF CHOKE is defined when the choke lever is
between CHOKE and RUN or ON and OFF.
NOTE: Run at full throttle when possible. Do not let
unit idle for extended periods of time.
NOTE: When using the primer bulb, allow the bulb
to return completely to its original position between
pushes.
NOTE: When storing, place unit in an upright position.
If storing for prolonged periods of time in warm
weather, vent fuel cap to prevent fuel from leaking
from carburettor.
Avoid injury! Always handle fuel in a well ventilated
area, outdoors, away from flames or sparks.
Avoid injury! Do not start engine if fuel is spilled. Wipe
off excess fuel and allow to dry. Remove engine from
area to avoid sparks.
