FAQs

What type of fuel should I use?

Use a mixture of gasoline and 2-stroke engine oil at the ratio specified in the manual. Typically, this is around 50:1.

How do I maintain the air filter?

Remove the air filter and clean it regularly. Tap out any debris and wash it with soapy water, then let it dry completely before reinstalling.

How often should I sharpen the drill bits?

Sharpen the drill bits as needed, depending on the soil conditions and frequency of use. Dull bits will make digging harder.

Can I use this auger in rocky soil?

The auger can handle some rocky soil, but it may struggle in extremely rocky conditions. Avoid forcing the auger and remove any large rocks or obstructions.

What is the weight of the Earth Auger?

The weight of the Earth Auger is 19.84160358 pounds.

What is the purpose of the extension shaft?

The extension shaft allows you to dig deeper holes than the standard drill bit length would permit.

How do I store the Earth Auger?

After use, clean the auger and store it in a dry, covered area. If storing for a long period, empty the fuel tank.

Troubleshooting

Engine won't start

Check fuel level, ensure the choke is correctly set, and inspect the spark plug. Refer to the manual for specific starting instructions.

Auger is not digging

Check if the drill head is securely attached, the ground is not overly rocky or compacted, and that you are applying appropriate downward pressure.

Engine runs but the drill bit does not turn

Check if the drive pin connecting the engine to the auger is damaged or broken. Inspect the gear system and replace any worn components.

Auger kicks back or is difficult to control

Ensure you are holding the handles firmly and that the drill bit is sharp. Reduce the digging pressure and dig slowly.
