Assembly

XPOtools-64075-Petrol-Ground-Drill-FIG3

Insert the output shaft (Fig. 1, A) into the seat of the drill (Fig. 1, D) and secure it with the corresponding piston pin (Fig. 1, B, C).

Warning! Do not change the gear ratio of the reduction gear. The characteristics of the machine could change and unforeseen reactions could occur.

Working instructions

Warning! Always follow the safety instructions. The auger must not be attached to fixed supports. It is forbidden to use tools or applications other than those specified by the manufacturer on the PTO shaft of the earth drill.

Getting started

Fuel mixing ratio

Use a 2 % or 4 % (1:25 or 1:50) petrol/oil mixture (Fig.3, 4). Only use a 1:25 (oil:petrol) mix ratio 20 hours before the machine runs.

XPOtools-64075-Petrol-Ground-Drill-FIG4

Warning: Two-stroke engines are designed to operate with normal petrol. Therefore, make sure to only use normal petrol and premium grade petrol with a minimum octane rating of 90 and oil specifically designed for two-stroke engines. Mix the two liquids before pouring them into the motor and ensure that the liquids have intermixed with each other before carefully inserting the fuel into the motor (Fig. 5).

Never fill the fuel tank while the motor is operating and instead ensure that the motor has been turned off before placing the device on an even ground to prevent two-stroke mixture from spilling in the process.
