FILLING THE HOLE DIGGER TRANSMISSION WITH
GREASE.
Application: All 200 Series models.
The transmission is filled at the factory with 8 fluid
ounces (224g) of high temperature transmission
grease and should not require additional service when
placing the Hole Digger into initial service. The factory
utilizes the Fisk Brothers (Lubriplate Brand) GR132
grease which features an EP additive. The EP (extreme
pressure) additive allows the grease to properly cling to
the gear teeth and provide lubrication at high rotational
speeds. Without the addition of and EP additive,
normal grease will not cling to the teeth, resulting in
abnormal wear and reduced service life. With normal
usage, the transmission grease should not require
further replacement until the centrifugal clutch
assembly is replaced. For further information, refer to
the Repair section of this manual for additional
information.
Do not fill the Hole Digger transmission with oil.
The transmission does not incorporate seals to
prevent the oil from draining from the bearings and
shafts. Such an occurrence will allow the oil to
drain with the potential for property damage.
FILLING THE ENGINE FUEL TANK.
Application: All 240 Series models.
Tools Required:
1 each, small, clean funnel.
The 240 Hole Digger utilizes an all-position, Four
Stroke, gasoline engine. While this engine may
have the same physical appearance of a
conventional Two Stroke engine, the lubrication
systems are completely different. The Honda GX35
engine does not require oil to be mixed with
gasoline. The crankcase oil does not function as a
reservoir for an oil injection system.
1) Carefully clean the filler cap and surrounding area to
insure that no dirt or debris falls into the fuel tank.
2) Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean, unleaded
automotive gasoline. Leaded "regular" grade gasoline
is an acceptable substitute. DO NOT USE GASOLINE
CONTAINING METHANOL (WOOD ALCOHOL).
Gasoline containing a maximum of 10 per cent ethanol
or grain alcohol (sometimes referred to as Gasohol)
may be used but requires special care when the engine
is stored for extended periods.
3) Use of a properly blended gasoline for operation
during the intended season will result in easier engine
starting. Do not use gasoline left over from the previous
season of operation.
4) Never fill the fuel tank completely full. Instead, fill the
fuel tank to within 1/4 to 1/2 inch of the top of the tank
to provide space for fuel expansion. Always wipe any
fuel spillage from the engine and the Hole Digger
before starting the engine.
DO NOT SMOKE NEAR THE FUEL TANK. DO NOT
FILL THE FUEL TANK WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING
OR IF IT IS HOT. ALLOW AMPLE TIME BETWEEN
EACH REFUELING FOR THE ENGINE TO COOL. AN
IGNITION SOURCE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE
FUEL TANK CAN BE THE SOURCE OF AN
EXPLOSION, RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE
AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY. CONSULT THE
M AT E R I A L S U P P L I E D B Y T H E E N G I N E
MANUFACTURER FOR INFORMATION RELATIVE
TO PROPER FUELING PROCEDURES.
