 Never run an engine indoors or in an enclosed area. Engine exhaust contains

carbon monoxide, an odourless, deadly gas.

 If the earth auger will not turn in a hole, turn engine off and allow to cool before

attempting to remove it manually.

 Do not let the person who do not fully understands the manual thoroughly,

operate the auger.

 When operating the auger make sure to keep bystanders 15m away.

WARNING--Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:

All engines contain carbon monoxide in their exhaust. Carbon monoxide is a deadly,
colourless, tasteless, odourless gas which may be present even if you do not smell or see
any engine exhaust. Levels of carbon monoxide, which can be deadly, can be present for
days in an enclosed area if it has poor ventilation. Any level of carbon monoxide, if inhaled,
can cause headaches, drowsiness, nausea, dizziness, and eventually death. If you
experience any of these symptoms, seek fresh air and medical attention immediately.

Preventing Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

 Never run an engine indoors.
 Never try to ventilate engine exhaust indoors. Carbon monoxide can reach

dangerous levels very quickly.

 Never run an engine in places where exhaust fumes may be pulled into a building.
 Never run an engine in a poorly ventilated area where the exhaust fumes may be

trapped and not easily taken away. (Examples include: in a large hole or areas
where hills surround your working area.)

 Never run an engine in an enclosed or partially enclosed area. (Examples include:

buildings that are enclosed on one or more sides, under tents, car ports or
basements.)

 Always run the engine with the exhaust and muffler pointed in the direction away

from the operator.

 Never point the exhaust muffler towards anyone. People should always be far

away from the operation of the engine and its attachments

Petrol Fires or handling Fuel Safely:

Fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable. Never use fuel where a spark or flame may be
present. Never use fuel where a potential source of ignition could occur. (Examples include:
hot water or room heaters, clothes dryer, electric motors, etc.)
Keep flames and sparks away from the engine and fuel to prevent fires. Fuel fires spread
very quickly and are highly explosive

Prevention of Petrol Fires:

 Never fill your fuel tank with fuel indoors. (Examples include: basement, garage,

barn, shed, house, porch, etc.)

 Always fill fuel tank outside in a well-ventilated area.
 Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine running. Stop the engine

and allow to cool before filling.

 Never drain fuel from engine in an enclosed area.

 Always wipe up excess (spilled) fuel from engine before starting. Clean up spilled

fuel immediately.

 Allow spilled fuel to dry, after wiping and before starting.
 Allow fuel fumes/vapours to escape from the area before starting the engine.
 Test the fuel cap for proper installation before starting and using the engine.
 Always run the engine with fuel cap properly installed on the engine and the petrol

cap vent screw unscrewed.

 Replace fuel cap that allows the petrol to spill or leak.
 Never smoke while refilling engine fuel tank.
 Prevent fire and explosion caused by the static electric discharge. Use only

approved, non-metal, portable fuel containers

 Do not store the engine with fuel in fuel tank indoors. Fuel and fuel vapors are

highly explosive.

 When storing, screw down petrol cap vent screw tightly.
 Never pour fuel from the engine fuel tank.
 Never siphon fuel by mouth to drain the fuel tank.
 Always have an adult fill the fuel tank.
 Never allow an adult or anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol to fill the

engine.

 Never allow children to fill the engine

BURNS AND FIRES:

The muffler, muffler guard and other parts of the engine become extremely hot during the
operation of the engine. These parts remain extremely hot even after the engine has
stopped.

Prevention of Burns and Fires

 Never remove the muffler guard from the engine.
 Never touch the muffler guard because it is extremely hot and will cause severe

burns.

 Never touch parts of the engine that become hot after the operation.
 Always keep materials and debris away from the muffler guard and other hot

parts of the engine to avoid fires.

CAUTION: Hot Gases Are A Normal By-Product Of A Functioning Catalytic

OPERATION

CAUTION:

Do not alter/modify the engine or auger:

 Never alter or modify the engine from the factory. Serious injury or death may

occur if the engine is modified or altered.

 Always wear hearing protection while operation the engine.
 Please do not start your earth auger until you have read the previous section of

this manual. If you have read these, follow the steps below to start your earth
auger.

 Never store engine with petrol in the tank indoors. Fuel and fuel vapors are highly

flammable.

 Never mix fuel and oil directly in the engine petrol tank. Use only approved non-

metal, portable fuel containers

 An adult must always handle and fill the engine with fuel.
 Always handle fuel in a well-ventilated area, outdoors, away from flames or

sparks.

Filling Fuel Tank:

1. Shut-off the engine and allow it to cool completely before refilling the fuel tank.

2. Move to a well-ventilated area, outdoors, away from flames and sparks, before
refilling.

3. Clean debris from the area around the fuel cap.

4. Loosen fuel cap slowly. Place the cap on a clean, dry surface.

5. Carefully add fuel without spilling.

6. Do not fill the fuel tank completely full, allow space for the fuel to expand.

7. Immediately replace fuel cap and tighten. Wipe off spilled fuel and allow it to dry
before starting the engine.

NORMAL OPERATION

1. The clutch will transfer maximum power only after 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.

3. Never run an engine indoors. Exhaust fumes are deadly.

4. Do not use an earth auger in the ice.

5. To attach auger to the power head, align holes at top of auger shaft with the
output shaft hole. Insert 3/8-16 x 1-1/2” bolt and secure bolt with provided 3/8” bi-

NOTE: The ends of the bolt should be even with the auger collar. Bolt head and thread

way lock nut using a wrench

end should never go beyond earth collar

Using the Screw Type Manual Venting Fuel Cap:

1. Your power earth auger is equipped with a screw type manual venting fuel cap.
