OPERATION
1. Read engine operating manual and follow instructions
for fuel type, starting, etc.
BE SURE TO USE
PROPER GAS/OIL MIXTURE.
2. 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.
3. Dig 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.
4. Never run engine indoors. Exhaust fumes are deadly.
5. Do not use an ice auger in earth.
6. 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 blade.
