WARNING: Read and thoroughly understand all instructions and safety information before assembling or operating this hand held digger. Failure to do so may cause serious injury or death. Do not allow anyone to operate this digger who has not read this manual. As with all power equipment a hand held digger can be dangerous if assembled or used improperly. Do not operate this digger if you have doubts or questions concerning safe operation.
If the auger rotates while the engine is idling, turn off the machine immediately and contact SpeeCo at 1-800-525-8322 for further information. If an obstruction is encountered during operation, release the throttle control until the engine idles down. Then remove the earth auger from the ground and turn it off. Remove the obstruction, if possible, and resume digging. NEVER tilt the gas tank if the engine is running, hot or if the unit is indoors. NEVER have the throttle control fully open when starting.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: This post hole digger was fully assembled at the factory. Refer to the illustrations and parts list should it become necessary to disassemble the unit for repair or replacement of parts. STEP 1: Remove the powerhead from the box. The powerhead and auger are purchased separately. Inspect each piece for shipping damage. If any part is damaged contact your dealer or delivering carrier. STEP 2: The gear box has been filled with lubricant at the factory.
MAINTENANCE CAUTION: ALWAYS remove spark plug wire before performing any maintenance, adjustments or repairs CAUTION: NEVER allow children to perform maintenance. 1) Check the air intake and outlet for clogging. This engine is air-cooled, if air passage is blocked the engine may overheat. 2) Periodically check that the air filter is not dirty. A dirty air filter may cause the auger to consume more fuel. 3) Check the level of gear box lubricant after approximately 100 hours of use.
