CLEANING & CARE
Always wear sturdy CE approved gloves when handling auger bits, as they can be very
sharp. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
If the body of the auger needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft damp cloth. A mild detergent can
be used. Do not use alcohol, petrol, or other such cleaning agents. Never use caustic agents
to clean plastic parts.
WARNING:
Always ensure that the auger is switched off and the spark plug
cap is removed before making any adjustments or maintenance procedures.
Spark plug
After every 10 hours of running the spark plug should be removed. Remove the spark plug
cap and clean any dirt from around the spark plug base, then use a spark plug wrench to
remove the spark plug. Check the colour of the deposits on the end of the spark plug; it
should be a "tan" colour. Remove all deposits using a stiff brush; a brass wire brush is ideal.
Check the spark plug gap and adjust if required. The correct gap should be 0.7 to 0.8mm.
Check that the spark plug washer is in good condition and thread the spark plug in by hand
to prevent cross-threading. After the spark plug is seated, tighten with a spark plug wrench
to compress the washer.
If installing a new spark plug, tighten 1/2 turn after the spark plug seats to compress the
washer. If reinstalling a used spark plug, tighten 1/8-1/4 turn after the spark plug seats to
compress the washer.
