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.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
(For 33cc engine)
The A-weighted emission sound pressure level has been
measured at 100 dB L
PA.
The A-weighted sound power level
emitted has been measured at 106.5 dB L
WA.
The total vibra-
tion value for Vortex™ power ice auger was measured at
31.3 m/s
2
.
(For 43cc engines)
The A-weighted emission sound pressure level has been
measured at 97 dB L
PA.
The A-weighted sound power level
emitted has been measured at 107 dB L
WA.
The total vibra-
tion value for Black Ice™ and Endura
™
power ice augers were
measured at 45.7 m/s
2
.
(For 51cc engines)
The A-weighted emission sound pressure level has been
measured at 100 dB L
PA.
The A-weighted sound power
level emitted has been measured at 108.5 dB L
WA.
The total
vibration value for Tundra™ and Nitro
™
power ice augers were
measured at 19.7 m/s
2
.
3. Never run engine indoors. Exhaust fumes are deadly.
4. Do not use an ice auger for anything other than ice.
5. The ice auger blade protector should be attached to the auger
blade when not in use. This will protect the cutting edge of
the ice auger blades.
6. To attach the auger to the powerhead, in the event this has not
been 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 collar.
Bolt head and thread end should never go beyond ice collar.
Cold Engine Start:
Starting engine for first time or after engine has cooled off or
after running out of fuel.
1. Move choke lever to RUN or Off position.
NOTE: Choke must be in the RUN or OFF position when
pushing or using the primer bulb.
