CAUTION: ALWAYS remove spark plug wire before performing any maintenance, adjustments or repairs
CAUTION: NEVER allow children to perform maintenance.
1) Check the air intake and outlet for clogging. This engine is air-cooled, if air passage is blocked the engine may
overheat.
2) Periodically check that the air filter is not dirty. A dirty air filter may cause the auger to consume more fuel.
3) Check the level of gear box lubricant after approximately 100 hours of use. Check sooner if digger is used
frequently. Add all-purpose grease only to a point below the top of the gears. Do not overfill the gearbox.
4) Periodically check all nuts and bolts for tightness.
5) Check and clean the spark plug and surrounding area approximately every 50 hours of use.
5) Periodically check the cutting blade and tip for wear and replace if necessary.
NOTE: Replacing worn blades and tips will increase digging efficiency
6) For long term storage (greater than one month), you may add fuel stabilizer or empty the fuel tank by running
the engine until it stops. Close the fuel cap vent and store the unit in an upright position.
