IMPORTANT NOTE: TRANSPORTING YOUR JIFFY ICE
DRILL
When transporting your Jiffy Ice Drill on an ATV or
snowmobile, it is extremely important to follow these
instructions and use caution to avoid damage to the
power head (engine and transmission) or related
equipment:
There are many after-market ice drill carrier mounting
systems to choose from. Make sure the carrier system
you purchase or use has the proper support for the
power head. Many systems are designed to only
support and mount to the lower drill assembly. This
leaves the power head unsupported. This situation will
result in major damage to the engine and transmission.
Take the necessary steps insure proper support of the
power head as noted above. If the power head is not
properly supported during transportation, this will void
the limited warranty and all repairs or replacement cost s
will be the responsibility of the owner. Purchase the
correct carrier mounting system and exercise extreme
caution when transporting the auger.
NOTE: To further protect your power head when
transporting, make sure the power head is covered to
minimize any snow or ice build-up or accumulation on
any of the functional engine parts, such as the
carburetor, throttle, or throttle cable assemblies.
has an accessory power head cover (Jiffy #4022) to
Jiffy
protect the power head from these types of conditions and can
be purchased at most retail locations.
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
Check SPARK PLUG, periodically.
1. Before removing plug, wipe dirt and debris from spark plug base.
2. Remove and inspect spark plug for carbon build up.
3. Replace spark plug if electrodes are pitted, burned, or porcelain is
cracked. For replacement use: Jiffy #4444 Spark Plug or NGK
#7599 CMR5H spark-plug. Failure to use proper spark-plug may
result in engine damage.
4. Check spark-plug gap with wire feeler gauge and set gap between
0.016” and 0.018”.
5. Install spark plug in engine and tighten securely and reattach
Significant care should be taken regarding operational components on
your Jiffy® Ice Drill due to the extreme cold environment and other elements
that your Jiffy® Ice Drill is subjected to during use and storage. Melting
snow, water and slush are all things that can cause freeze-up of these
components, which could make them inoperable. Many of these items are
the result of transporting your Jiffy® Ice Drill on a sled or other device pulled
behind an ATV or snowmobile, where water, slush, and snow can be thrown
up, collect and freeze on these components. During off season storage, your
Jiffy® Ice Drill is also subject to dirt and debris which could cause operational
concerns. Some type of power head cover should be used when subjected
to these types of conditions. Jiffy® recommends the Jiffy® Powerhead
Cover part #4022, to help protect these conditions.
THROTTLE LEVER AND CONTROL CABLE – This assembly and the
carburetor throttle shaft should be checked before each use for proper
movement and function. These components should also be lubricated
periodically by spraying silicone spray down both ends of the throttle cable
sheath, as well as on the throttle shaft on the carburetor. See below for
lubricating points. This lubricating procedure should also be performed at the
end of the season before storage. Also check throttle cable for any bends or
kinks, which can also cause improper operation of the throttle assembly.
AIR FIL TER – The engine has an air cleaner which helps prevent premature
engine wear and failure. Never run an engine without a complete, clean air
filter properly installed. Clean or replace air filter as needed.
REPLACEMENT TEETH – Improper or difficult cutting may be due to dull or
damaged drill teeth or drill point. Maintain sharp blade teeth and point.
Preserve the original factory cutting angles when sharpening your drill. File
blade teeth and use a disk sander to sharpen the point. Only genuine Jiffy®
blade teeth are to be used.
END OF SEASON CARE
ignition wire to spark plug.
Lubricate
1. Lubricate throttle cable and carburetor throttle shaft
2. Check the entire ice drill for any loose hardware. Tighten
hardware, if necessary.
3. Engine oil should be changed once a year. It is recommended to
do this at the end of the season.
4. Store power head with the power head in the upright (operating)
position or laid down with the spark plug up.
5. Check spark plug. Replace if necessary and gap between 0.016”
and 0.018”.
6. It is recommended to drain all fuel out of the fuel tank. Then start
the engine and run it until it stops.
