when it is damaged. This can cause motor damage.
In this case: The manufacturer is not liable for da-
mage resulting from this; the risk lies exclusively with
the user.
Spark plug Fig. 6-7
The exhaust/casing becomes very hot during opera-
tion. Wait for the motor to cool down.
NEVER touch the hot motor.
• Remove the spark plug cover (8) by removing the
screw (G) with the provided key.
• Remove the spark plug cap (H).
• Remove the spark plug (I) and check it.
• Check the insulator. In case of damage such as
cracks or chips: Replace the spark plug (I).
• Clean the spark plug electrodes with a wire
brush.
• Check the electrodes' gap and adjust it. Gap
0.75 mm.
• Return the spark plug (I) and tighten it with the
spark plug spanner.
• Replace the spark plug cap (H) on the spark plug
(I).
• Re-install the spark plug cover (8)
Ensure that no dirt gets into the cylinder head during
replacement.
Check the position of the spark plug (I).
• A loose spark plug (I) can damage the motor by
overheating.
• Tightening it too much can damage the thread in
the cylinder head.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting
from this, the risk lies exclusively with the user.
Replacing the fuel filter Fig. 8
The felt filter (J) of the fuel filter can become clogged.
It is recommended to replace the fuel filter once every
three months in order to ensure unimpeded fuel flow
to the carburetor.
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.

10. Storage/Transport

Transport
Leave the motor to cool down before transporting the
machine or storing it indoors in order to prevent bur-
ning and fire hazards.
Turn off the motor even for short distances when
changing locations during work.
Carry the auger exclusively by the handle. Do not
touch the casing (risk of burning).
When transporting the auger in a vehicle, it must be
stored safely.
The fuel tank (2) must be emptied completely befo-
re transport.

Storage
Never store an auger for longer than 30 days without
carrying out the following steps.
Follow the cleaning instructions and maintenance in-
structions before storing the device!
Storing the auger
If you store an auger for longer than 30 days, it must
be prepared ahead of time. Unless the storage ins-
tructions are followed, fuel remaining in the carbu-
retor will evaporate, leaving gum-like deposits. This
could lead to difficult starting and result in costly re-
pairs.
• Remove the fuel tank cap slowly to release any
pressure in tank. Carefully drain the fuel tank.
• Start the engine and let it run until the engine
stops in order to remove the fuel from the carbu-
rettor.
• Allow the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
• Remove the spark plug.
• Pour 1 teaspoon of clean 2-cycle oil into the com-
bustion chamber. Pull starter rope slowly several
times to coat internal components. Replace spark
plug.
• Store the auger in a dry location, far away from
potential sources of ignition, such as furnaces, hot
water boilers with gas, gas dryers, etc.
Recommissioning the auger
• Remove spark plug.
• Pull starter rope briskly to clear excess oil from
combustion chamber.
• Clean the spark plug and check that the electrode
gap is correct.
• Prepare unit for operation.
• Fill fuel tank with proper fuel / oil mixture.
