OPERATIONOPERATION

OPERATION

CAUTION

OPERATIONOPERATION

OPERATION

1. BE SURE TO 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 in earth.

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 blade.

7. This ice auger is not recommended for redrilling old ice

holes.

Please do not start your auger until you have read

this section and the section titled 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.

FUEL MIXTUREFUEL MIXTURE

FUEL MIXTURE

1. Mix clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline (minimum of 77

octane) with a high quality 2 cycle engine oil at the ratio

of 2.5 oz. oil to 1 gallon gasoline.

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.

4. Carefully pour fuel into the tank. Avoid spillage.

5. Immediately replace fuel cap and hand tighten. Wipe up

any fuel spillage.

This engine uses a gas/oil mixture. DO NOT RUN

ENGINE ON STRAIGHT GAS ONLY. ENGINE DAMAGE
