2. Protect operator handle from external sources of damage. DO NOT allow
handle to contact auger bits, shovels, or other sharp/abrasive objects
during transit whether stacked or thrown against handles. DO NOT drag
Auger with handle or throttle grip contacting ground. Damage can result.
LONG TERM STORAGE
Procedure for Auger long term storage will protect against effects of corrosion
and damage. If Auger is not to be operated for a period of 30 days or more,
proceed to store as follows:
1. STOP Auger per STOPPING AUGER in OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
section of this manual.
2. Disconnect auger bit from Auger.
3. Follow procedure as outlined in material supplied by engine manufacturer
detailing long term storage of engine.
4. Clean all accumulated dirt and grease from Auger utilizing safety type
solvent. Provide adequate ventilation and observe all applicable safety
precautions for solvent.
5. Inspect all visible parts for wear, breakage or damage. Replace any part
required to make necessary repair with factory approved parts only.
6. Apply light coat of protective grease to transmission driveshaft to prevent
formation of rust.
7. Store Auger with operator handle level with ground to prevent
transmission oil draining from breather vent and damaging surrounding
environment and to minimize potential for crankcase oil entering
combustion chamber and creating hydraulic lock up.
8. DO NOT allow handle to come in contact with auger bits, shovels, or
other sharp and abrasive objects during storage to prevent damage.
9. Store Auger inside. If Auger must be stored outside, protect it and each
auger bit with a suitable covering.
15 END OF LIFECYCLE
