NOTE:
To minimize water splash, back-off throttle when the
drill breaks thru ice, then raise drill slowly.
NOTE:
The clutch slips when the drill is overloaded, when this
happens, raise complete unit slightly to ease load.
NOTE:
Remove blade protector from drill assembly prior to
drilling. Reinstall when drilling is complete.
NOTE:
If drilling additional holes, carry unit in upright
position by handles only, to next location and proceed
with normal starting and operating instructions.
12. When all holes have been drilled, lay unit down, resting on
wing handles. Disconnect drill assembly from powerhead
by sliding E-Z Connect™ Collar down and pulling clevis
pin from drill assembly. Do not remove pin from collar
tether. Slip drill assembly off of engine output shaft, then
re-insert clevis into drill assembly and slide E-Z Connect™
Collar up to cover clevis pin.
13. Position powerhead with the filler neck of the fuel tank in
the upper-most position to prevent fuel spillage.
14. Reattach blade protector to drill assembly to prevent
damage to the blade teeth and point.
TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE
1.
Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and keep it
away from spark plug.
2.
Make sure all fuel is drained from fuel tank, and fuel cap is
screwed on tight.
3.
Always transport and store powerhead in an upright
position and make sure powerhead and drill assembly are
properly anchored to prevent damage.
4.
Never store powerhead with fuel in tank indoors or in
enclosed, poorly ventilated enclosures where fuel fumes
may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a
furnace, water heater, clothes dryer, etc.
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
Check SPARK PLUG, periodically.
1.
Before removing plug, wipe dirt and debris from spark plug base.
2.
Remove and inspect spark plug for carbon build up.
3.
Replace spark plug if electrodes are pitted, burned, or porcelain is
cracked. For replacement use: Autolite® 2976, Torch L8RTC, or
equivalent.
4.
Check electrode gap with wire feeler gauge and set gap at .024 if
necessary.
5.
Install spark plug in engine and tighten securely.
REPLACEMENT BLADE
Improper cutting may be due to dull or damaged drill teeth or drill point.
Maintain sharp blade teeth and point. Preserve the original factory cutting
angles when sharpening your drill. File blade teeth and use a disk sander to
sharpen the point. Only genuine Jiffy® blade teeth are to be used.
AIR FILTER
The engine has an air cleaner which helps prevent premature engine wear
and failure. Never run an engine without a complete, clean air filter properly
installed. Service or replace air filter every 3 months or after 20 hours of
operation. Clean filter daily in extreme dusty conditions.
Servicing Foam Filter:
1.
Remove filter cover.
2.
Wash in warm water with mild soap until dirt and debris are
removed. Press filter when washing - do not twist.
3.
Rinse thoroughly until water is clear.
4.
Wrap in a clean cloth and press, do not twist, until completely dry.
5.
Saturate with clean engine oil and press, do not twist, to distribute
oil.
6.
Remove excess oil.
7.
Attach filter and cover to the engine.
