Maintenance & Care

Maintenance Schedule:

Checking Your Machine:

When checking your machine, we recommend you:

• Check for worn or damaged parts.
• Make sure all nuts, screws and bolts are tight.
• Make sure all warning stickers are in place and not damaged.
• Check for oil / fuel leaks.
• Check fuel tank, fuel lines and fuel cap for leakages or tears, do not start the machine with such damage.
• Check exhaust cover and the air filter cover.
• Check the position of the auger and functioning of the operating elements.

Cleaning:

CAUTION - DO NOT use a hose pipe or pressure washer to clean the engine. Water can damage the engine or contaminate the fuel system. !

NOTE Engine must be switched off and spark plug lead disconnected. !

NEVER pour or squirt the unit with water or any other liquid. Keep handles dry, clean and free from debris.

After Each Use:

• You must remove grass and mud from the machine to prevent it from drying. This will cause problems the next time the it is used.
• Wipe the machine down with a damp cloth.
• For larger build ups of debris, use a scraper or similar product.
• Dry the machine completely to prevent rust from forming.
• Make sure not to drip petrol onto the plastic parts to prevent damaging them and remove all traces of spilt petrol immediately. The warranty will not cover damage to plastic parts caused by petrol.
• Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Ensure that no water can seep into the machine.

Regularly:

• Use a light silicone spray on exposed metal parts to protect the metal.

The Spark Plug:

Step 1:

You MUST allow the engine to cool down before carrying out any maintenance. Do not touch the spark plug when the machine is running (risk of electric shock).

Step 2:

Always replace with the same model spark plug as fitted.

Step 3:

Remove the spark plug cover (A) by removing the screw (B) with the provided key.

Step 4:

Visually inspect the spark plug for signs of damage, wear or carbon build up. Check the insulator for damage such as cracks or chips. If damaged or worn, replace immediately.

Step 5:

To clean the spark plug, gently clean the electrode with a soft wire brush.

Step 6:
The spark plug gap should be 0.70mm to 0.80mm. Check the gap by using a feeler gauge. Adjust as necessary by carefully bending the side electrode to achieve the correct gap.

Step 7:
Refit the cleaned and adjusted spark plug by hand to avoid cross-threading.

Step 8:
Tighten as necessary with a spark plug wrench but avoid over-tightening.

Step 9:
Re-attach the spark plug cover.

NOTE: Ensure that no dirt gets into the cylinder head during replacement.

Check the position of the spark plug:

• A loose spark plug can damage the engine by overheating.

• Tightening it too much can damage the thread in the cylinder head.

Air Filter:

CAUTION - A dirty air filter will restrict the air flow to the carburettor, which will reduce engine efficiency.

When using the earth auger in very dusty areas you must clean or replace the air filter more often. Never operate the machine without the air filter being fitted it can cause damage to the engine which is not covered by warranty.

Step 1:
Loosen the screw on the air filter casing. Remove the air filter cover and check it.

Step 2: Carefully remove the foam filter insert and check it for damage. Replace if required. Clean the foam insert in warm water with a mild soap solution. Thoroughly rinse it with clear water and leave it to dry.

Step 3:

Clean dirt from the inside of the filter casing with a clean, damp cloth.

Step 4:
Return the foam filter insert and reposition the air filter casing. Do not run the engine without an air filter insert or when it is damaged. This can cause damage which is not covered by your warranty.

Gearbox:

• Use a high temperature gearbox grease. Such as Morris K323 Premium blue grease or equivalent.
• Check the gear box grease every 20 hours of use and fill as required. Thereafter check and top-up after every 25 hours. N.B. 20 grams is sufficient for a full top-up.
• To fill with or top-up with grease apply grease with a grease gun to the grease nipple.
• Recommended change interval. 1st check after 20 hours of use. Thereafter every 25 hours of use. !

NOTE: If you do not follow these steps, deposit may arise in the carburettor. This will cause starting difficulties and may cause permanent damage.

Replacing Fuel Filter:

The fuel filter can become clogged. It is recommended to replace the fuel filter once every 100 hours in order to ensure sufficient fuel flow to the carburettor.

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.

Pull old filter from fuel pipe and replace with new filter.
