Routine Maintenance

1

Air Filter

WARNING: Disconnect the spark plug before performing
maintenance.
Your Auger has been equipped with two air filters inside the
housing. Accumulated debris and dust in the air filter will reduce
engine performance, increase fuel consumption and increases
the risk of engine damage. Clean the air filters every 5 hours of
operation. It may be necessary to clean the air filter more often in
dry conditions due to a large amount of airborne debris.
□ Before removing air filter cover, brush away any loose dirt or
debris on and around the pre-filter located in the outer filter
housing.
□ Remove air filter by unscrewing the retaining fastener. (Fig. 5)
□ Remove and clean foam filter. (Fig. 7)
□ Light surface dust can readily be removed by tapping the filter.
□ Heavy deposits should be washed out in soap and water.
Squeeze out any remaining water and allow the filter to
completely dry.
WARNING: Never clean filter in gasoline or other
flammable solvents.
□ Add a drop of thin oil to the filter and replace it.
□ Remove the paper air filter element (Fig. 8). Clean filter by
gently tapping it on a flat surface. If very dirty, replace with a
new filter.
□ Reassemble the filter element and air filter cover.
NOTICE: Ensure that the air filter cover knob is securely tightened
before every use. (Fig 5)

Spark Plug

Inspect the Spark Plug after every 10-15 hours of use; adjust
Spark Plug gap and replace Spark Plug as necessary. Replace
Spark Plug every year to maintain engine performance and easy
starting. To inspect or replace the Spark Plug:
□ Remove the insulated Spark Plug boot.
□ Using appropriate tools, remove the spark plug by turning
counterclockwise.
□ Clean and adjust the Spark Plug gap to 0.024 – 0.028 in.
(0.6 - 0.7 mm).
□ Replace any worn Spark Plug with a recommended
replacement (see Product Specifications).
□ Apply anti-seize compound to the Spark Plug threads only
following the manufacturer's instructions.
□ Install the Spark Plug finger tight in the cylinder head, then
tighten. Do not over tighten to 10 to 12 ft-lbs.
□ Replace the insulated Spark Plug boot.
