NOTE: Loose spark plug may overheat and damage engine. Over tightened spark plug may damage threads in the cylinder head. Carburetor Never tamper with factory setting of the carburetor. TRANSPORTING YOUR Earth AUGER 1. Never transport engine inside an enclosed space or vehicle. Fuel or fuel vapors may ignite causing serious injury or death. 2. If fuel is present in the fuel tank, transport in an open vehicle in an upright position. 3. If an enclosed vehicle must be used, remove gas into an approved red fuel container. DO NOT siphon by mouth. 4. Run engine to use up the fuel in the carburetor and fuel tank. Always run engine in a well ventilated area. 5. Wipe away any spilled fuel from engine and earth auger. Allow to dry. LONG-TERM STORAGE (30 Days or more without use) If your earth auger will not be used for more than one month, prepare it for long term storage. Caution To avoid injury or death, never siphon fuel by mouth. Never store earth auger with fuel in the GAS tank inside an enclosed area or building. To prevent accidental starting: Engine must be turned off and cool, and spark plug wire must be removed from spark plug before checking and adjusting engine or equipment. Maintenance and repair on the engine and auger must always be done by an adult. Engine must be shut-off, cool, and spark plug wire removed before any repair or maintenance can be done.
