It is not necessary to open the throttle to start the engine.
4) Stand opposite side of the muffler, and hold the equipment firmly. And pull the starter knob
gently until a certain resistance is felt. Then, return the starter knob, and pull it strongly.
Never pull the rope to the full extension. Once the starter knob is pulled, never release
your hand immediately. Hold the starter knob until it returns to its original point.
5) Once engine starts, set choke lever to the OPEN position if you have closed the choke lever.
6) Allow the engine to properly “warm up”. Continue warm-up operation for 2 to 3 minutes.
STOPPING
1) Releasing the throttle control to its closed (engine idle speed) position.
2) Turn the engine I-O switch to the OFF position.
ADJUSTMENT OF IDLE SPEED
WARNING:
• Make sure the auger bit does NOT rotate at the idle speed.
When it is necessary to adjust the idle speed, perform it by the carburetor adjusting screw.
CHECKUP OF IDLE SPEED
– Set the idle speed between 2900 – 3100 min
–1
.
If it is necessary to change the idle speed, use a phillips head screw driver on the screw as illustrated.
– To increase the idle speed, turn the adjusting screw clockwise.
To reduce the idle speed, turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise.
– The carburetor is factory adjusted. However, after several use the idle speed may need to be re-adjusted.
WARNING:
• It is a misconception that a larger diameter hole can be obtained by first digging an initial hole with a smaller “pilot” auger bit, and then second
larger diameter auger bit is used to “ream” the hole. Do NOT apply this method. The auger bit may become unstable and lose control, and this
may result in property damage or personal injury.
CAUTION:
• Do not attempt to begin digging with the earth auger until the operator is ready to begin the process and is in full control of the machine.
• When digging in areas filled with known buried obstructions such as tree roots, rocks and other debris, operate the earth auger at less than full
(an intermediate) speed to make sure a more rapid release of the centrifugal clutch when the auger bit touches an obstruction.
• An improper operating procedure may let the auger bit to “bind” or “bury” itself in the hole, and the earth auger is not capable of transmitting
ample power to “free” the auger. This is usually the result of letting the auger to feed at an excessive rate. Smaller 5 to 10cm (2 to 4") diameter
augers tend to cause this phenomenon more often. Do not continue to overload and slip the centrifugal clutch assembly. STOP the earth
auger and remove it from the buried auger bit. Place an appropriate long bar through the hole of the auger bit, turn it counterclockwise with
applying the principal of leverage until buried auger bit is retrieved.
