Assembly

Open the shipping carton immediately upon receipt.
Visually inspect the contents of the carton for freight
damage and/or missing parts. If shipping damage is
evident, contact the delivering carrier immediately to
arrange for an inspection of the damage by their claims
representative. Federal law requires that a claim be
filed within a specfied time period. If missing parts are
detected, notify your dealer who will assist you in
obtaining them.
Included in the shipment should be the following:
1 each, engine/handle/transmission assembly.
1 each, bag containing an auger pin.
1 each, yellow bag containing the Operator Manual
and other publications.
The Hole Digger is shipped from the factory completely
assembled. The transmission is lubricated at the
factory and will not require further servicing prior to the
intial usage. Visually inspect the throttle control, throttle
cable assembly and the plunger mechanism for signs
of damage. Pull the throttle control lever to determine
that the spring loaded plunger mechanism allows the
throttle control lever of the carburetor to travel from its
low speed to the high speed position without any
restriction and/or binding.

Before Starting the Engine

FILLING THE ENGINE GASOLINE TANK.
Tools Required:
1 each, small, clean funnel.
FUEL/OIL MIXTURE RATIO: 24 to 1
THE 210 HOLE DIGGER UTILIZES A TWO STROKE
GASOLINE ENGINE WHICH REQUIRES A MIXTURE
OF GASOLINE AND OIL IN THE GASOLINE TANK
FOR OPERATION. THIS ENGINE DOES NOT
UTILIZE A SEPARATE OIL INJECTION SYSTEM IN
THE ENGINE CRANKCASE FOR LUBRICATION.
FAILURE TO OPERATE THE ENGINE WITHOUT
THE CORRECT FUEL/OIL MIXTURE RATIO WILL
RESULT IN SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE AND/OR
THE POSSIBILITY OF PERSONAL INJURY.
1) Carefully clean the filler cap and surrounding area to
insure that no dirt or debris falls into the gasoline tank.
2) Mix oil with fresh, clean, unleaded automotive
gasoline. Leaded "regular" grade gasoline is an
acceptable substitute. DO NOT USE GASOLINE
CONTAINING METHANOL (WOOD ALCOHOL).
Gasoline containing a maximum of 10 per cent ethanol
or grain alcohol (sometimes referred to as Gasohol)
may be used but requires special care when the engine
is stored for extended periods. Use SAE 30, 40
outboard oil or a high quality two cycle oil. Disregard
the mixing instructions on oil containers DO NOT MIX
THE OIL DIRECTLY IN THE FUEL TANK. DO NOT USE
MULTI-VISCOSITY OILS. Such oils may not provide
adequate lubrication and due to their additives, may
cause excessive spark plug fouling.
3) Use of a properly blended gasoline for operation
during the intended season will result in easier engine
starting. Do not use gasoline left over from the previous
season of operation.
4) To insure thorough mixing of the oil and gasoline, fill
a clean, UL® approved, gasoline container to one
quarter full. Add the appropriate amount of oil. Shake
the container vigorously and then fill the remainder of
the container with gasoline. Once mixed, the oil and
gasoline will not separate.
