MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Read the maintenance schedule and observe these
recommendations to extend the life of your electric auger.
Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-
free operation. To help you properly care for your powerhead,
the following pages include a maintenance schedule, routine
inspection procedures, and simple maintenance procedures
using basic hand tools.
Other service tasks that are more difficult, or require special
tools, are best handled by professionals and are normally
performed by a technician or other qualified mechanic.
The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating
conditions. If you operate your powerhead under unusual
conditions, such as sustained high-load, or use in unusually wet
conditions, consult Ion™ customer service for recommendations
applicable to your individual needs and use.
