8 MACHINE SET-UP
Open shipping carton immediately upon receipt. Remove Auger from carton.
Visually inspect contents of carton for freight damage and/or missing parts. If
shipping damage is evident, contact delivering carrier immediately to arrange
for an inspection of damage by their claims representative. DO NOT DESTROY
OR DISCARD SHIPPING CARTON UNTIL INSTRUCTED BY AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVE OF CARRIER OR FACTORY. If missing parts are
detected, notify your dealer who will assist you in obtaining them.
ASSEMBLY
Auger is shipped from factory completely assembled. The transmission is
lubricated at the factory and will not require further servicing prior to initial
usage.
1. Visually inspect throttle control, throttle cable assembly and carburetor for
signs of damage. Rotate throttle control to determine carburetor spring
allows carburetor throttle lever to travel from its low to high speed position
and back again without any restriction and/or binding.
2. Check all fasteners for security, tighten as required.
>>>> BEFORE STARTING ENGINE <<<<
FILLING ENGINE FUEL TANK
Tools Required:
1 each, small, clean funnel.
BEFORE operating Auger refer to MACHINE SPECIFICATIONS section in this
manual and engine manufacturer supplied materials for information regarding
engine fuel, fueling and lubrication requirements.
1. Use extreme caution handling gasoline. Always use UL, CSA or UN
marked, European ADR regulation approved container for storage and
transportation of fuel. Shut engine off and allow to cool before fueling.
Never remove fuel tank filler cap or fill fuel tank while engine is running.
Never operate engine without fuel tank filler cap. Select bare ground for
fueling and move at least 10 feet (3.05 M) from fueling spot before
starting engine.
2. Carefully clean filler cap and surrounding area to prevent dirt/debris
falling into fuel tank.
3. Fill fuel tank with fresh, clean, unleaded automotive gasoline. Leaded
“regular” grade gasoline is acceptable substitute. DO NOT USE
GASOLINE CONTAINING METHANOL (WOOD ALCOLHOL). Gasoline
containing maximum 10 percent ethanol/grain alcohol (sometimes
referred to as Gasohol) may be used but requires special care when
storing engine for extended periods.
NOTE: DO NOT use gasoline left over from previous season for easier engine
start-up and prevent poor engine performance.
4. DO NOT completely fill tank. Fill tank to within 1/4 inch (7 mm) to 1/2 inch
(13 mm) of tank top to allow for fuel expansion. Replace filler cap. Wipe
any fuel spillage and oil if leak is detected from engine and Auger
BEFORE operating engine. DO NOT operate engine until leak is fixed
plus, fuel and oil are wiped away. Properly dispose of any fuel or oil
wiped from machine/rags per international and local regulations. DO NOT
allow fuel or oil to get on clothing. Change clothes immediately if this
happens.
CAUTION
• Never mix oil with gasoline for use in a 4 cycle engine.
Damage to engine can result. Four cycle engines do not utilize
oil mixed with gasoline for lubrication purposes.
WARNING
• Determine all components of engine throttle control
assembly allow for proper function.
• Throttle lever of carburetor must return engine to idle
speed, as stated in MACHINE SET-UP section of this
manual, when twist grip throttle is released by operator.
• If proper function does not occur, contact your dealer or
customer service department for specific information to
correct the situation.
• DO NOT operate Auger until improper function has been
corrected.
• An improperly functioning throttle control can result in
property damage and/or personal injury.
