Maintenance
For all work on the machine, the spark plug cap and
the spark plug have to be removed (high voltage).
Please adhere to the maintenance schedule.
Daily before beginning work
Check fuel tank and fuel lines for tightness.
Check mounting parts, exhaust cover, air lter cover,
oil, position of the auger and functioning of the oper-
ating elements.
After 20 operating hours
Clean air lter and check spark plug
After 100 operating hours
Clean fuel tank and replace spark plug
After 300 operating hours
Replace air lter
Important notice in the event of repairs:
When sending earth augers to be repaired, please
note that, for safety reasons, they must be delivered
to the service station free from oil and petrol.
Warning! No smoking and no open re.
Risk of explosion.
Air lter, g. 4-5
Regular cleaning of the air lter prevents carburettor
malfunctions.
Cleaning the air lter and replacing the air lter insert:
• Loosen the screw (E) on the air lter casing (3), re-
move the air lter cover and check it.
• Replace the damaged element.
• Clean dirt from the inside of the lter casing with a
clean, damp cloth.
• Carefully remove the foam lter insert (F) and
check it for damage, replace if required.
• Clean the foam lter insert (F) in warm water and
with a mild soap solution. Thoroughly rinse it with
clear water and leave it to dry.
Warning!
Do not use petrol or cleanser.
Risk of explosion.
• Return the foam lter insert (F) and reposition the
air lter casing.
Do not run the motor without an air lter insert or
when it is damaged. This can cause motor damage.
In this case: The manufacturer is not liable for dam-
age resulting from this; the risk lies exclusively with
the user.
Spark plug g. 6-7
The exhaust/casing becomes very hot during opera-
tion. Wait for the motor to cool down.
Starting the motor: (g. 3)
• If the motor is cold, turn the choke lever (C) to the
position.
• If the motor is warm, turn the choke lever (C) to the
position.
• Prime the fuel pump (16) by pressing it several
times until you can see fuel in the pump.
• Put the stop switch (11) in the „start“ position.
• Lightly pull on the starter cord (9) until you can feel
resistance, then pull on the cord strongly 2-3 times
until the motor res briey.
CAUTION!: Do not pull out the starter cable more
than approx. 50 cm, and lead it back by hand. For ef-
cient starting, it is important to pull the starter cable
quickly and powerfully.
• Turn the choke lever (C) to
position.
• Pull the starter cord 2-3 times again until the motor
res and runs in idle mode.
• Warning! The earth auger only begins to rotate
when the throttle lever is used.
Stop the engine
Press the stop switch (11) in the ‘Stop’ position.
When restarting, rst press the stop switch (11) back
to the ‘Start’ position.
Before starting the motor, check the following:
• Fuel level - the fuel tank should be at least half full
• Condition of the fuel lines
• Outer screw couplings for tight t
• The earth auger has to be able to run freely
Operating
• Set the auger down and actuate the throttle con-
trol lever (13).
• Adjust the power according to the ground condi-
tions in order to be able to proceed ideally.
• If the ground condition is ideal, permitting a steady
work speed, using the adjusting screw, you can
lock the throttle control lever (13) (in the centre po-
sition) in order to make your work easier.
When leaving the auger, the motor must always
be turned o.
9. Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning
• We recommend that you clean the device immedi-
ately each time you have nished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of
the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into
the device.
