GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

L The gear case has 4 ounces of grease installed at the factory. It is recommended that once a year the gear case be split and the grease

level checked. Add grease only if level of grease is below top of the gears, DO NOT OVERFILL.

Z Attach auger to powerhead with bolt provided, 3, Read engine operating manual and follow instructions for fuel type, starting, etc. BE SURE TO USE PROPER GAS/OIL MIXTURE.

4. 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 ofoil or other moisture for efficient operation. Each unit is tested at the factory, but is not operated for the full break-in period.

5. 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.

6. Do not use an ice auger in earth or an earth auger in ice. You may use the same powerhead, but a different style auger is required for each application.

7. When digging in heavy soil, pump the unit with an up and down motion in the hole for every one foot of depth.

8. Do not operate unit in excessively rocky ground. The unit functions well in ground where the rocks do not exceed the size of a persons fist.

9. The ice auger blade protector should be attached to the auger head when not is use. This will protect the cutting edges of the ice auger blades.

10. For cold weather operation, store the unit in a cool environment. Transferring the unit from a warm to a cold place can cause the buildup of harmful condensation.
