WARNING
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL STARTING:
Turn the Power Switch of the Auger to its “OFF” position, wait for the Engine to cool, and disconnect
the spark plug cap before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM AUGER FAILURE:
Do not use damaged Auger. If abnormal noise, vibration, or excess smoking occurs,
have the problem corrected before further use.
Follow all service instructions in this manual. The Engine may fail critically if not serviced properly.
Many maintenance procedures, including any not detailed in this manual, will need to be performed
by a qualified technician for safety. If you have any doubts about your ability to safely service the
Auger or Engine, have a qualified technician service the Auger instead.

Daily Maintenance
1. Before each use: Inspect the general condition
of the Auger. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, dull,
bent, or damaged Bit, and any other condition
that may affect the safe operation of the tool.
2. A Bit that is bent or packed with dirt and debris
can cause personal injury. Replace a damaged
Bit and keep the Bit clean at all times.
3. Check the Air Filter prior to each use for
excessive dirt and debris buildup, clean as needed.
4. Check the gear oil level in the Gearbox
prior to each use, and fill as needed
with SAE 80-90 weight gear oil.
5. After each use, clean the exterior of
the Engine with a clean cloth and mild
detergent. Do not use solvents. Remove
the Bit from the Engine and use a garden
hose to wash off any dirt. Do not introduce
liquids into the interior of the Engine.
Air Filter Element Maintenance
1. Wipe off the Air Filter Cover (79).
2. Remove the Head Cover Bolt (81),
the Air Filter Cover, and the plate holding
the Air Filter in place. Note the placement
of the plate so the bolt hole in the center
is in alignment for re-assembly.
3. Remove the Air Filter element.
4. Wipe Air Cleaner Case (73).
5. Wash the element in warm water and mild
detergent several times. Rinse. Squeeze
out excess water and allow it to dry
completely. Soak the filter in lightweight oil
briefly, then squeeze out the excess oil.
6. Install the cleaned filter in reverse order of
removal. Secure the Air Filter Cover before use.
