Operation

Before Starting Engine

MIXING GASOLINE/2-CYCLE OIL

WARNING:
Do not smoke or allow smoking near fuel or the earth auger. Mix and pour fuel outdoors WHERE THERE ARE NO SPARKS OR FLAMES.

The 2-cycle engine on your unit requires that gasoline and 2-cycle engine oil be pre-mixed before adding to the unit’s fuel tank.

To mix gasoline and 2-cycle oil:

• Use FRESH unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Do not use gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol. We recommend the continuous use of a fuel additive/stabilizer to counteract the effects of ethanol. These additives also prolong the shelf life of gasoline.
  NOTICE: Use of gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol can damage the engine and void your warranty.

• Always use 2-cycle oil that meets or exceeds JASO – FC specifications and is intended for mixing at a gasoline/oil ratio of 50:1.

• Do not use automotive or 2-cycle marine outboard oil. These will damage your unit’s engine and void the warranty.

• Always mix the gasoline and 2-cycle oil in a container approved for gasoline. Never mix fuel directly in the unit’s fuel tank.

• Follow instructions on a 2-cycle oil container for mixing fuel. Mix gasoline and 2-cycle oil at a ratio of 50:1. A mixture with a 50:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of gasoline with 2.6 ounces of oil (77 ml). After adding oil to gasoline, shake the container momentarily to ensure proper mixing.

• Mix only enough fuel for your immediate needs. Do not store premixed fuel.

• Stop the engine and allow to cool before refueling.

FILLING THE FUEL TANK

1. Place the earth auger on a flat, level surface, resting on the handle with the throttle/speed control assembled to it so that the fuel tank cap is pointing upward.
2. Clean the surface around the fuel cap to prevent contamination.
3. Loosen the fuel cap slowly by turning counterclockwise.
4. Pour the fuel mixture carefully into the tank.
5. Only fill the fuel tank to 80% of the full capacity. The fuel level can be seen via the clear fuel tank.
6. Clean and inspect the fuel cap gasket before replacing the fuel cap.
7. Replace the fuel cap and tighten it by turning it clockwise.
8. Wipe spilled fuel from the product.
9. If you spill fuel on the unit, wait 10 minutes after wiping.
10. Move at least 10 ft away from the refueling area before starting the product.

NOTICE: It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new engine during first use.

Starting the Engine

DANGER: The auger engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea, dizziness, fainting or death. If you start to feel dizzy or weak, get to fresh air immediately.

OPERATE THE AUGER OUTDOORS ONLY IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA AND POINT EXHAUST AWAY. DO NOT allow exhaust fumes to enter a confined area through windows, doors, vents or other openings.

WARNING:
Running engines produce heat. Severe burns can occur on contact. Combustible material can catch fire on contact.

• DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
• Avoid contact with hot exhaust gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• Maintain at least 3 ft (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides to ensure adequate cooling.
• Maintain at least 5 ft (1.5 m) of clearance from combustible materials.

WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes and other possible serious injuries.

COLD ENGINE

1. Place the handlebar with the throttle/speed control assembly side flat on the ground surface.
2. Move the engine On/Off switch to the “ON” (I) position.
3. Set the choke lever to the CHOKE position.
4. Slowly press the primer bulb 7-10 times or until fuel is visible.
5. While standing on the operator’s side of the auger, place your foot on the handlebar that is on the ground to stabilize the unit. Grip the other handlebar with the other hand and tilt the auger so that the auger bit is off of the ground.
6. Holding the unit firmly, pull the recoil starter grip 2 times to prime with fuel, then pull until engine starts. Use short pulls and do not allow the rope to snap back. Do not pull more than 6 times.
7. Once the engine starts, stand the auger up in the vertical position and allow to run for 10-15 seconds.
8. After the engine runs for 10-15 seconds, move the choke lever to the run position.

WARM ENGINE

1. Place the handlebar with the throttle/speed assembly side flat to the ground surface.
2. Move the engine On/Off switch to the “ON” (I) position.
3. Ensure that the choke lever is in the run position.
4. While standing on the operating side of the auger, place your foot on the handlebar that is on the ground to stabilize the unit. Grip the other handlebar with the other hand and tilt the auger so that the auger bit is off of the ground.
5. Holding the unit firmly, pull the starter handle until the engine starts. Use short pulls and do not allow the rope to snap back.
6. Once the engine starts, stand the unit up in the vertical position.

WARNING:
Rapid retraction of the recoil cord could pull your hand and arm towards the engine faster than you can let go. An unintentional startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or laceration. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could also result.

• NOTICE : Manually adjusting or turning the choke lever to the CHOKE position during idle will cause the engine to stop.
• NOTICE : If the engine does not start, return to the “Start a Cold Engine” and repeat the steps that follow.

Stopping the Engine

1. Release the throttle/speed control to stop the auger bit from rotating.
   CAUTION: The auger bit will continue to rotate for a few seconds after the throttle/speed control is released.

2. Move the engine On/Off switch to the “OFF” (O) position.

WARNING:
If the engine does not stop when the engine switch is moved to the “STOP” position, release the throttle. Allow the engine to idle. Put the auger down and slide the choke lever to cold start (closed) position.

Operating the Auger

1. Holding the unit in the vertical position, place the tip of the fishtail bit point at the desired drilling location.
2. Engage the throttle/speed control and first start digging the hole at a slow speed to get a good engagement with the soil.
3. Gradually increase the speed as the auger bit enters the soil.
4. As the auger bit penetrates deeper into the soil, occasionally lift the auger bit partially up out of the hole to disperse the loose soil. This will keep the hole free of loose soil and prevent the auger bit from becoming stuck in the hole. This will also reduce the time it takes to dig a hole and prevent overworking the engine.

CAUTION:
If the auger bit will not turn in a hole, turn the engine off and remove the auger bit from the hole. Check the auger bit for damage and remove any debris from the auger bit or hole. Secure spark plug boot away from the engine and frame to alleviate potential arcing.

Transporting the Auger

WARNING:
Before transporting the auger, shut off the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, disconnect the spark plug wire and move it away from the spark plug. Failure to follow these instructions could result in personal injury or property damage.

1. Disassemble the auger bit from the power head by removing the open triangle looped end of the double wire snap from the exposed end of the Ø 9.5 x 45 mm clevis pin and removing the clevis pin from the auger bit and power head output shaft. This will disengage the bit from the power head output shaft.
2. Carry the power head by the handle that does not have the throttle/speed control with the recoil starter against your leg so the fuel tank cap is pointed skyward while carrying the auger bit in the other hand, held by the shaft.

Maintenance

Make certain that the auger is kept clean and stored properly. DO NOT expose the unit to extreme conditions, excessive dust, dirt, moisture or corrosive vapors. The owner/operator is responsible for all periodic maintenance. Complete all scheduled maintenance in a timely manner. Correct any issue before operating the auger.

Storing the Auger

WARNING : Never store the auger indoors or next to appliances where there is a source of heat, open flame, spark or pilot light as these conditions can ignite gasoline vapors. DO NOT store the auger near fertilizer or any corrosive material. Even with an empty fuel tank, gasoline vapors could ignite. When storing the auger for short or long periods of time, always be sure that the engine switch (where applicable) and the fuel valve (where applicable) are set in the “OFF” position.

NOTICE:
You can store the unit with 50:1 TruFuel because it is pretreated with a stabilizer and has NO ethanol content.

NOTICE:
The engine works well with 10% or less ethanol blended gasoline. When using ethanol-blended gasoline there are some issues worth noting:

• Ethanol-blended gasoline can absorb more water than gasoline alone.
• These ethanol blends can eventually separate, leaving water or a watery goo in the fuel tank, and carburetor.
• The compromised gasoline can be drawn into the carburetor and cause damage to the engine and/or create potential hazards.
• If a fuel stabilizer is used, confirm that it is formulated to work with ethanol-gasoline blends.
• Clean all foreign material from the product. Store idle unit indoors in a dry, well-ventilated area that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and deicing salts.
• Abide by all ISO and local regulations for the safe storage and handling of gasoline.

WHEN STORING 1 MONTH OR SHORTER:
A fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add a stabilizer to your fuel container (not the fuel tank on the auger). Run engine at least 3 minutes after adding stabilizer.

WHEN STORING LONGER THAN A MONTH:
Drain all fuel from the tank into a container approved for gasoline. Run the engine until it stops.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT TEMPERATURE
NOTICE: You can store the unit with 50:1 TruFuel because it is pretreated with a stabilizer and has NO ethanol content.

An important message about temperature: Your product is designed and rated for continuous operation at ambient temperatures up to 104°F (40°C).
