Service precautions
1.
Before service, maintenance, or cleaning:
a.
Turn the engine switch to its “OFF” position.
b.
Allow the engine to completely cool.
c.
Then, remove the spark plug cap
from the spark plug.
2. Keep all safety guards in place and in
proper working order. Safety guards include
muffler, air cleaner, mechanical guards,
and heat shields, among other guards.
3.
Do not alter or adjust any part of the Auger or
its engine that is sealed by the manufacturer
or distributor. Only a qualified service
technician may adjust parts that may increase
or decrease governed engine speed.
4. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles,
heavy-duty work gloves, and
dust mask/respirator during service.
5. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Auger.
These carry important information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
6. Have the Auger serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the Auger
is maintained. Do not attempt any service or
maintenance procedures not explained in this
manual or any procedures that you are uncertain
about your ability to perform safely or correctly.
7. Store Auger out of the reach of children.
8. Follow scheduled engine and Auger maintenance.
Refueling:
1. Do not refill the fuel tank while the
engine is running or hot.
2. Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames,
or other sources of ignition around the
Auger, especially when refuelling.
3.
Do not fill fuel tank to the top.
Leave a little room for the fuel to expand as needed.
4. Refuel in a well-ventilated area only.
5. Wipe up any spilled fuel and allow excess
to evaporate before starting engine.
To prevent FIRE, do not start the engine
while the smell of fuel hangs in the air.
