200 SERIES TWO-MAN AUGERS
FORM GOM08042004US, VERSION 1.1
a)
If equipped, the shorter (inner) screw is non-functional for
this application.
b)
The longer (outer) screw is factory set to prevent the
engine from operating in an overspeed configuration. As
set from the factory, the GXV160 engine will operate at
approximately 3800/3900 RPM no load. In a no-load
configuration the engine is operating at maximum
governed speed without an earth auger attached to the
transmission drive shaft.
CAUTION
DO NOT alter engine throttle control arm or spring positions
•
regulating maximum engine speed.
•
Improper setting can result in excessive engine speed leading
to substandard digging performance and loss of operator
control that can result in property damage and/or personal
injury.
WARNING
Determine all components of engine throttle control
•
assembly allow for proper function.
Throttle lever of carburetor must return engine to idle
•
speed, as stated in MACHINE SET-UP section of this
manual, when twist grip throttle is released by operator.
•
If proper function does not occur, contact your dealer or
customer service department for specific information to
correct the situation.
•
DO NOT operate Auger until improper function has been
corrected.
An improperly functioning throttle control can result in
•
property damage and/or personal injury.

FILLING ENGINE CRANKCASE WITH OIL
Tools Required:
1 each, small, clean funnel with a flexible extension spout
Fill engine crankcase with oil on level working platform of appropriate size and
height. As an alternative, transmission driveshaft can be securely mounted in
suitable bench vise.
1.
Wipe any dust/dirt from crankcase dipstick/filler plug area. Remove
dipstick/filler plug.
2.
Using funnel, add oil to engine crankcase. For proper classifications
and/or amount, consult material supplied by engine manufacturer for
specific information.
3.
Replace dipstick/filler plug and tighten. Wipe off any excess spilled oil.
Properly dispose of spilled oil/rags per international and local regulations.
WARNING
•
DO NOT operate Auger unless proper oil level is
maintained.
Improper oil level can result in property damage and/or
•
personal injury.
•
Consult material supplied by specific engine
manufacturer for information relative to proper
maintenance procedures.
FILLING AUGER TRANSMISSION WITH OIL
Tools Required:
1 each, 15/16 inch (23.8 mm) open or closed end wrench or use a
socket/ratchet combination
1 each, small, clean funnel with a flexible extension spout.
1.
Position Auger vertically, engine spark plug facing up and bottom of
transmission housing facing toward you. Support to prevent accidental
movement. FIGURE 8
2.
Wipe any dust or dirt from transmission oil plug area located on
transmission bottom. Remove plug with wrench.
3.
Using funnel, pour 24 fluid ounces (0.7 L) of Transmission and Engine
Oil, PN 999-11, or a high grade, SAE 10W30, service classification SJ or
higher motor oil through plug opening. FIGURE 8
4.
Maintain oil level in transmission at bottom of oil plug hole. Allow any
excess oil to drain out of transmission. This procedure determines correct
oil level for transmission. DO NOT operate Auger with improper oil level.
NOTE: Correct oil level is important to ensure proper centrifugal clutch
operation. Maintaining oil level too high will cause excessive clutch slippage
and result in high oil temperatures. Excessive slippage and high oil
temperatures will significantly reduce service life of clutch assembly and affect
overall performance of Auger.
NOTE: Use only an oil marked with an engine service classification SJ or
higher. As a general rule, the transmission usually uses same oil type and
weight as the 4-Stroke engine crankcase.
5.
Reinstall oil plug. Tighten securely with wrench. Wipe off any excess oil
spilled on transmission. Properly dispose of spilled oil/rags per
international and local regulations.

FILLING ENGINE FUEL TANK
Tools Required:
1 each, small, clean funnel.
CAUTION
•
Never mix oil with gasoline for use in a 4 cycle engine.
Damage to engine can result. Four cycle engines do not utilize
oil mixed with gasoline for lubrication purposes.
BEFORE operating Auger refer to MACHINE SPECIFICATIONS section in this
manual and engine manufacturer supplied materials for information regarding
engine fuel, fueling and lubrication requirements.
