Engaging the Auger Brake
: Move the activating lever to
position A to engage the brake
– when starting the engine
– at idle speed
– to unwind a trapped auger
If the auger snags on an obstacle in the
hole (e.g. roots or stones) the earth
auger will rotate counterclockwise – the
activating lever is pressed against the
operator's thigh and thus engages the
auger brake.
Disengaging the Auger Brake
: Move the activating lever to
position B.
Check Operation of Auger Brake
Before you start work:
With the engine running at idle speed,
engage the auger brake and then open
the throttle wide for no more than 3
seconds – the auger must not rotate.
The auger brake is subject to normal
wear and tear.
Check that it is operating properly before
you start work. If the auger brake fails,
have it repaired immediately by your
STIHL dealer.
