stored briefly with fuel in the tank, prime 1 time above 55
°
Farenheit or 2 times below 55
°
Farenheit.
Warm Start: Do not use primer or full choke if engine did
not run out of gas or has not cooled completely. Flooding
of engine will occur.

Choke:
•
Full choke position is defined by moving the choke
lever as far to the ON or CHOKE position as possible.
Half choke is defined when the choke lever is between
ON or CHOKE and OFF or RUN.
First Start & Cold Start: After priming, move choke lever
to full choke.
Warm Start: No choke or half choke is needed.
7. Grasp starter handle and pull out slowly, until it pulls
slightly harder. Without letting it retract, pull rope with a
rapid full arm stroke. Let it return to its original position
very slowly. Repeat this step everytime the starter rope is
pulled.
8. Pull recoil until engine fires or runs.
NOTE: If engine fails to start after 5-6 pulls, push
primer 1 time and pull starter rope again.
9. After engine starts running, move choke lever to
HALF CHOKE.
10. Move choke lever to OFF or RUN position and move
throttle to desired speed.

1.
The clutch will transfer maximum power after about
two hours of normal operation. During this break-in
period clutch slippage may occur. The clutch should be
kept free of oil and other moisture for efficient operation.
2.
Dig holes without placing excessive body weight on
the unit. The auger operates most efficiently with a
shaving action caused by the weight of the unit itself.
3.
Never run engine indoors. Exhaust fumes are deadly.

Your power earth auger is equipped with a screw type,
manual venting gas cap.
1.
Before starting the engine, turn the screw in the top
of the gas cap two to three turns (counterclockwise) to its
venting position. DO NOT turn the screw to the point
that it stops (4-5 turns counterclockwise). To ensure
that gas will not spill during use, check that the gas cap is
screwed on tightly and the gas cap screw is in the
venting position.
2.
After using the power earth auger and before putting
away or transporting it in a vehicle, screw the gas cap
screw on (clockwise) tightly. This will prevent gas from
leaking during storage. The gas cap will not leak gas
during storage if the gas cap is tight and the screw at the
top is tight.
DO NOT attempt to start engine in the following
ways:
•••••
DO NOT use starting fluid.
•••••
DO NOT spray flammable liquids or vapors into air
cleaner, carburetor or spark plug chamber.
•••••
DO NOT remove spark plug and pull on starter
rope. Flammable fuel can spray out & ignite from a
spark from spark plug.
