Maintenance And Storage - ION Operator's Manual

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.
