Ⅳ . OPERATING PROCEDURES
��
1. Assembling
1) Loosen 4 handle knobs about one inch wide to fold out both handles. Excessive loosening causes
knobs to come off. (Fig. 1)
2) After extension of both handles, tighten the 4 knobs firmly. (After every initial operation, additional
tightening is required.)
3) For installation of auger, put powerhead on the ground. Put auger on drive shaft. Aligning each hole
of drive shaft and auger, insert the two provided fixing pins into the holes and fix them with snap pins
using pliers. (Fig. 2)
NOTE: While your auger powerhead adaptor has two holes for mounting anger bits, some auger bits may
only have one hole. Both auger bits (one hole or two holes) are suitable for use with this
powerhead.
2. Selection of a suitable auger
1) Choose an auger according to material to be bored. (Example) of ice boring, use an ice auger. When
boring the earth, use one for earth boring. (For more information, ask your nearest dealer).
3. Filling the fuel
WARNING:
The power auger is equipped with a two-stroke engine. Always run the engine on fuel, which is
mixed with oil.
Provide good ventilation, when fueling or handling fuel.
Fuel (Fig. 3)
• Always use branded 89 octane unleaded gasoline.
• Use genuine two-cycle oil or use a mix between 25:1 to 50:1, please consult the oil bottle for the ratio
or HITACHI dealer.
• Only for the state of California at 50:1.
• If genuine oil is not available, use an anti-oxidant added quality oil expressly labeled for air-cooled
2-cycle engine use (JASO FC GRADE OIL or ISO EGC GRADE).Do not use BIA or TCW (2-stroke
water-cooling type) mixed oil. Do not use BIA or TCW (2-stroke watercooling type) mixed oil.
• Never use multi-grade oil (10 W/30) or waste oil.
• Always mix fuel and oil in a separate clean container.
Always start by filling half the amount of fuel, which is to be used. Then add the whole amount of oil.
Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of fuel.
Mix (shake) the fuel-mix thoroughly before filling the fuel tank.
Fueling
WARNING:
• Always shut off the engine before refueling.
• Slowly open the fuel tank, when filling up with fuel, so that possible over-pressure disappears.
• Tighten the fuel cap carefully, after fueling.
• Always move the unit at least 3 m (10 ft.) from the fueling area before starting.
Before fuelling clean the tank cap area carefully, to ensure that no dirt falls into the tank. Make sure that
the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container, before fuelling.
