10. After using this machine, STOP the engine by allowing the engine to return to idle and moving the switch to the OFF position. If engine fails to stop, move the choke lever to FULL CHOKE position to kill the engine. If the ignition switch has failed DO NOT OPERATE until the ignition switch has been repaired by a qualified mechanic.
11. Always check to make sure the throttle system is moving freely and returning to idle.
12. Turn off this machine when traveling from fishing site to fishing site.
13. Always store auger with blade guard attached.
OPERATION
!
5
!
STARTING PREPARATIONS
!
Check the complete machine for operational safety
The stop switch should function properly.
The throttle must have freedom of movement and return to the idle position on its own accord.
The auger blades and collar bolt must be tightly secured and in perfect condition.
Ensure the spark plug cap and ignition cable are connected firmly.
!
FUELING AND OIL/FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
!
Fuel is highly flammable. Keep away from open flames and never spill fuel. Do not smoke at the operating site or at and near the refueling site
Stop the engine prior to refueling.
Let the engine cool down before refueling.
Open the fuel cap slowly to allow any excess pressure in the tank to be reduced without the risk of fuel
spraying out.
Fuel may contain substances similar to solvents. Wear protective gloves during filling.
Avoid breathing in fuel vapor.
Immediately clean any spilled fuel on the machine.
Firmly tighten fuel cap.
Check for fuel leaks. Do not start the machine or work with the machine if there is a fuel leak.
Store fuel and oil in an approved and correctly labeled container.
Oil
1
To operate your engine you will need to use a clean, high-quality, 2-cycle oil mixed with fuel at a ratio of 40:1 (3.2 fl. oz. to 1 gallon of gas). DO NOT USE SYNTHETIC OIL. DO NOT use a fuel/oil mixture leaner than 50:1 (2.6 fl. oz. to 1 gallon of gas).
!
Fuel
2
Use unleaded regular, unleaded premium or non oxygenated premium fuel. Do not use fuel with less than an octane rating of 87. For peak performance use an unleaded premium fuel.
Do not use leaded fuel or E85.
FUEL MUST BE FRESH AND CLEAN. NEVER use fuel left over from last season or fuel that has been stored more than 30 days. Do not use summer blend fuel; only use winter blend fuel available after November 1st.
Unsuitable fuel or deviations in mixing ratio may lead to serious engine damage which is not covered under warranty.
6
STARTING YOUR ENGINE
Turn the ON/OFF switch to ON. Make sure to read the
1
switch correctly. Read this side of the switch.
Press the primer bulb (Fig 1 ) 5 to 8 times. You want to see
2
fuel returning in the fuel line.
Slide the choke lever to START (FULL CHOKE).
3
Press the decompression button (Fig 1). Pull the recoil
4
handle in short quick pulls until the engine fires. (audible sound) NOTE: you will need to reset the button after every pull of the recoil rope.
Once the audible sound is heard, slide the choke lever to RUN (NO
5
CHOKE), and continue step 4 until engine starts. If engine fails to start repeat steps 3, 4 and 5.
STOP ENGINE. Turn ON/OFF switch to the off position. If engine fails to stop slide choke to start (Full Choke) to stop engine. DO NOT use again until repaired.
Do not read this side
Fig 1
STARTING TIPS: As you know, very cold temperatures make all engines a
little harder to start. Whenever possible, keeping your machine in a warm environment will ALWAYS make it easier to start. In extreme cold conditions applying a little throttle as you pull your recoil will help the starting procedure.
If the engine fails to start after several attempts, check whether all adjustments described above have been correctly carried out, particularly that the on/off switch is NOT in the off position. Try starting once again. The combustion chamber will be flooded, if the engine fails to start.
In that case we recommend you proceed as follows:
Pull the spark plug cap off of the spark plug.
Remove the spark plug and dry fuel mixture from the electrodes.
Move the throttle lever up to full throttle. Pull the starter handle several times (with spark plug removed) to clear the combustion chamber.
Move the throttle lever down to idling position, refit the spark plug, the spark plug cap and plug cover.
Start the engine with the choke lever in run (no choke) position and the on/off switch in the on position.

MAINTENANCE
Contaminated air filters cause a reduction in engine performance and increase fuel consumption with more pollutants in the exhaust gas. Engines are less likely to start readily with a contaminated air filter. Carry out the following maintenance jobs regularly:
Before opening the air filter, close the choke to prevent dirt from entering the carburetor.
Wing Screw
Air Filter
• Turn the wing screw at the air filter cover counter-clockwise.
• Flip the top of the air filter cover forward and remove.
• Remove the fabric air filter.
• Clean the area around the filter. Simply tapping the filter is the best cleaning method. Never wash or clean the air filter with high compressed air or by wetting it; never place in an oil bath or cleaning solution. The air filter is blocked if the engine speed noticeably drops when the carburetor is correctly adjusted. Under these circumstances, the filter needs replacing (part no. 20 48 154). Low engine speed due to a blocked air filter must never be compensated by incorrect carburetor adjustments. This would cause the engine to overload, resulting in severe engine failure. Engine failure caused by incorrect care is excluded from our warranty.
• Insert the new or cleaned fabric air filter into the casing.
• Position the air filter lid with the lower guiding pins onto the housing and push into place.
• Secure the filter cover by turning the wing screw clockwise.
Check the spark plug regularly after 50 hours of operation.
• Press the back tab of the spark plug cover (16) down and remove in an upwards motion.
• Disconnect the spark plug cap.
• Unscrew the spark plug and dry electrodes.
The spark plug should be replaced after 100 hours of operation or if the electrodes are badly worn. Do not turn the engine over while the spark plug has been removed or the spark plug cap has been disconnected from the high-tension ignition cable. A spark may cause a fire!
Spark plugs with resistor (thermal value 200) are available in different brands under the following description: BOSCH WSR6F CHAMPION RCJ-6Y or comparable
The correct electrode gap is 0.5mm or .019 inch. Only use spark plugs where the contact nut has been firmly
fitted. Loose connections may produce sparks, which can cause fire. Before restarting the engine, check the high-tension ignition cable for any damage to it’s insulation and ensure the cable is connected securely to the plug cap.
• Insert the spark plug into the cylinder head and tighten it.
• Push the spark plug cap firmly over the spark plug.
• Position the spark plug cover onto the housing by aligning it with the guiding pins, push down and click into place.

SECURING YOUR AUGER DURING
TRANSPORT
With your purchase of a StrikeMaster power auger, you have acquired one of the world’s best precision cutting machines. A little prevention goes a long way. Whether you transport this machine in a truck, snowmobile, ATV or sled be sure to secure it down to prevent damage.
SHUT DOWN & STORAGE
For stops longer than four weeks the following steps should be carried out:
Empty and clean the fuel tank at a well-ventilated location.
Start the engine with an empty fuel tank. Run the engine until the carburetor is empty and the engine stalls. Otherwise the carburetor nozzles could become encrusted with residual fuel mixture and make a subsequent start harder.
Clean the motor well (particularly the air intake openings, the cylinder fins, the air filter and the fuel filter area).
Preferably, store the equipment in a dry and secure place. Open flames or similar must not be nearby. Prevent unauthorized access - particularly by children.
If stabilized fuel is left in the machine it MUST be run every 30 days. Failure to do this can cause the carburetor and fuel system to gum up.
