Warning!
Do not use petrol or cleanser.
Risk of explosion.
Return the foam filter insert (B) and reposition the air filter casing.
Do not run the motor without an air filter insert or when it is damaged. This can cause motor damage.
In this case: The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from this; the risk lies exclusively with the user.
Spark plug Fig. 7-8
The exhaust/casing becomes very hot during operation. Wait for the motor to cool down.
NEVER touch the hot motor.
Remove the spark plug cover (Fig. 7, A) by removing the screw (Fig. 7, B) with the provided key.
Remove the spark plug cap (A).
Remove the spark plug (B) and check it.
Check the insulator. In case of damage such as cracks or chips: Replace the spark plug (B).
Clean the spark plug electrodes with a wire brush.
Check the electrodes' gap and adjust it. Gap 0.75 mm.
Return the spark plug (I) and tighten it with the spark plug spanner.
Replace the spark plug cap (H) on the spark plug (B).
Re-install the spark plug cover (A)
Ensure that no dirt gets into the cylinder head during replacement.
Check the position of the spark plug (B).
A loose spark plug (B) can damage the motor by overheating.
Tightening it too much can damage the thread in the cylinder head.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from this, the risk lies exclusively with the user.
Replacing the fuel filter Fig. 9
The felt filter of the fuel filter can become clogged. It is recommended to replace the fuel filter once every three months in order
to ensure unimpeded fuel flow to the carburetor.
To remove the fuel filter for replacement, pull it out through the tank filler neck using a piece of wire bent at one end to form a
hook.
Storage/Transport
Transport
Leave the motor to cool down before transporting the machine or storing it indoors in order to prevent burning and fire hazards.
Turn off the motor even for short distances when changing locations during work.
Carry the auger exclusively by the handle. Do not touch the casing (risk of burning).
When transporting the auger in a vehicle, it must be stored safely.
The fuel tank (Fig. 1, 1) must be emptied completely before transport.
Storage
Never store an auger for longer than 30 days without carrying out the following steps.
Follow the cleaning instructions and maintenance instructions before storing the device!
Storing the auger
If you store an auger for longer than 30 days, it must be prepared ahead of time. Unless the storage instructions are followed,
fuel remaining in the carburetor will evaporate, leaving gum-like deposits. This could lead to difficult starting and result in costly
repairs.
Remove the fuel tank cap slowly to release any pressure in tank. Carefully drain the fuel tank.
Start the engine and let it run until the engine stops in order to remove the fuel from the carburettor.
Allow the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
Remove the spark plug.
Pour 1 teaspoon of clean 2-cycle oil into the combustion chamber. Pull starter rope slowly several times to coat
internal components. Replace spark plug.
