CAUTION
Please do not start your auger until you have read the
Tecumseh Operator’s Manual that came with your
engine, and the section in this manual titled Safety. If
you have read these, follow the steps below to start
your auger. Always perform this pre-start checklist
before starting the engine.
1. Read the Tecumseh Operator’s Manual and
follow instructions for fuel type, starting, etc.
USE PROPER GAS/OIL MIXTURE.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Never run engine indoors. Exhaust fumes
are deadly.
5. Do not use an ice auger as an earth auger.
6. The ice auger blade protector should be
attached to the auger head when not in use.
This will protect the cutting edge of the
ice auger blades.
FUEL MIXTUREFUEL MIXTURE
FUEL MIXTURE
FUEL MIXTUREFUEL MIXTURE
(Refer to your Tecumseh Operator’s Manual for

2. Mix fuel in a 1 or 2 gallon container approved
for gasoline.
3. Loosen fuel cap slowly. Rest the cap on a
clean surface.
