Operation
Warm Engine Start:
1. Push engine switch to the ON position.
2. Move choke lever to CHOKE or ON position.
3. Grasp starter handle with left hand and pull out slowly, until there is
tension as you pull. Without letting starter handle retract, pull rope with
a rapid full arm stroke. Let it return to its original position very slowly
until the engine starts, engage the throttle. When attempting to start,
DO NOT allow the recoil to retract on its own, as it may snap back
quickly and cause injury.
NOTE:
If engine fails to start after 5-6 pulls, push primer 1
time and pull starter rope again.
4. After engine starts running, move choke lever to HALF CHOKE position
until unit runs smoothly.
5. Move choke lever to RUN or OFF position and move throttle to desired
speed.
NOTE:
Run at full throttle when possible. Do not let unit
idle for extended periods of time.
STOP THE AUGER BY PUSHING THE
ENGINE ON/OFF SWITCH FORWARDS
If an obstacle is encountered that is too large for the auger to
displace the ice auger will begin to vibrate. Slowly withdraw the
auger from the hole completely. Push the engine on/off switch
forward to stop the engine and remove the obstacle manually.
Slowly lower the auger into the hole and engage the power to
complete drilling the hole.
