Auger Brake

Engaging the Auger Brake
N Move the activating lever to
position A
– when starting
– at idling speed
– to unwind a trapped auger
If the auger snags on an obstacle in the
hole (e.g. roots or stones) the machine
will begin to turn counterclockwise – the
activating lever is pressed against the
operator's thigh and thus engages the
auger brake.
Disengaging the Auger Brake
N Move the activating lever to
position B
Checking Operation of Auger Brake
The auger brake is subject to normal
wear and tear. Check that it is operating
properly before you start work.
Before starting work:
N With the engine running at idle
speed, engage the auger brake and
then open the throttle wide for no
more than 3 seconds – the auger
must not rotate.
If the auger brake fails, have it repaired
immediately by your dealer – STIHL
recommends that this work be
performed by a STIHL servicing dealer.
