Assembling your Petrol Auger
• Remove the Split Pin (18) from the Securing Pin (17)
• Remove the Securing Pin (17) from the Output Shaft (19)
• Slide the auger bit (Silverline product codes 633897, 245105, 457044 – not supplied)
over the Output Shaft (19)
• Line up the holes in the auger bit and shaft, then push the Securing Pin (17) through
the hole
• Replace the Split Pin (18) and pull apart its legs, as shown in the main image
Operating the engine
Fuelling
• Always refuel in a safe place, well away from the work area, and any source of heat
or ignition. Avoid any contact with the fuel
• DO NOT SMOKE
• Only add fuel when the engine is stopped and has cooled fully
• Fuel should always be pre-mixed; do not mix fuel in the petrol tank
• Only mix as much fuel as you intend to use
• Always store fuel in a good quality fuel container
• Use the supplied fuel mixing bottle. Fill with petrol until ‘576.92’ on the scale (marked)
and then add 2 stroke oil until level with ‘600’. Replace the lid and shake the bottle
to mix.
NOTE: If you wish to mix a smaller amount of fuel, you will need to carefully manually
measure using the general scale on the bottle. Always try to mix only the amount of fuel
you will actually use.
• Remove the Fuel Filler Cap (1). Fill the tank with fuel mixture to the required level
NOTE: use a funnel such as Silverline code 793799 to avoid spillage
• Replace the Filler Cap (1)
• Make sure that any fuel spillage is properly cleaned up
• Move the petrol auger well away from the fuelling area before starting
the engine
• Keep extra fuel well away from the work area
• The muffler and exhaust will become very hot in operation so ensure inflammable
material doesn’t come into contact with those parts
Priming the engine
• Stand the unit upright on the tip of the auger bit, so that the handles are level with
the ground
• Slowly press and release the Fuel Primer (2)
• Continue until fuel begins to flow down through the clear fuel line and back into the
fuel tank
• Press a few more times until the air bubbles have passed. The fuel system is now
primed and ready
Starting the engine
WARNING: This Petrol Auger will produce toxic fumes from the Exhaust Outlet (7) as
soon as it is running. Never attempt to start the engine indoors, or in any kind of enclosed
space. Always wear proper safety protection: Use of this tool requires goggles, gloves,
ear defenders, face mask, and sturdy clothing. It is also advisable to wear a hard hat and
safety boots
• Set the Choke Lever (4) to the ‘ON’ position if warm
• Set the lever to the ‘OFF’ position if cold
• Set the On/Off Switch (10) to “I”
• Hold the auger as shown in Fig A, ensuring that you have control of the tool
• Pull the Starter Handle (3) firmly, as shown in Fig A
• Pull the starter handle again until the engine runs
IMPORTANT – do not allow the starter handle to snap back into the tool. Return it in a
controlled manner
• Allow the engine to run at idle speed for approx. 30 seconds
• As the engine warms, move the Choke Lever (4) to the ‘ON’ position
IMPORTANT –Allow the engine to warm up slowly for a minimum of 3 minutes before
increasing engine speed. This will improve performance and increase engine life
Running in
• When using the auger for the first time, it is important to run in the engine. This will
improve engine efficiency and performance, and maximise life span
• To run in the engine, leave the engine idling, with minimum use of the throttle, for a
period of approximately 15 minutes on first use. DO NOT INCREASE ENGINE SPEED FOR
THIS PERIOD IF POSSIBLE
NOTE: It is normal to experience distinctive smells during running in, as components heat
up for the first time
Stopping the engine
• Allow the engine to return to idle speed for a minimum of 3 minutes after use before
turning off
• Move the On/Off Switch (10) to the ‘0’ position
Warning
• Never leave the tool running unattended
• Never leave the machine unattended when parts are still hot
