throughout the life of the engine. Use 20W - 40 engine oil.
The EARTH AUGER is shipped
WITHOUT OIL IN THE ENGINE
Working on a level surface,tip the earth auger on its carrying handlebar as shown.
Oil Recommendations
Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life. Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil.
SAE 20W - 40 is recommended for general use.
NOTE:
Using non detergent oil can shorten the engine’s service life,and using 2-stroke oil can damage the engine.
Oil Level Check
Check the engine oil level before each use,or every 10 hours if operated continuously. Rest the earth auger on a
level surface with the engine stopped.
1. Tip the earth auger on its carry handlebar as shown.
2. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
3. Insert and remove the dipstick without screwing it into the filler opening. Check the oil level shown on the
dipstick.
4. If the oil level is low,fill to the edge of the oil filler hole with the recommended oil. Avoid overfilling or under
filling, as the oil capacity is small. Be sure the engine is in a level position, as shown. NOTE: Running the engine
with a low oil level can cause engine damage. This type of damage is not covered by the DISTRIBUTOR’S
LIMITED WARRANTY.
5. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely.
