Spark Plug
The recommended spark plug is a Torch L7RTC which cross references to a Champion RCJ6Y.
1. Check spark plug at the beginning of each season. 2. Disconnect the spark plug cap, and clean any debris from around the spark plug area.
3. Remove spark plug and replace if any of the following occur; pitted electrodes, burned electrodes, cracked porcelain, or deposits around electrodes. 4. After analysis, seat spark plug and tighten with spark plug wrench. Reconnect the spark plug wire.
• • Reinstall original spark plug, tighten additional 1/2 turn.
Installing new spark plug, adjust spark plug gap to 0.027 inch and tighten additional 1/8 – 1/4 turn .
NOTE: A loose spark plug may overheat and damage engine. An over tightened spark plug may damage threads in the cylinder head.
Cooling Fins
Cooling fins, air inlets and linkages must be free from any debris before each use.
Carburetor
Never tamper with factory setting of the carburetor.
Air Filter
Never run engine without air cleaner properly installed. Added wear and engine failure may occur if air cleaner is not installed on engine.
Service air cleaner every 3 months or after 20 hours of operation. Clean filter daily in extremely dusty conditions.
To Replace or Clean Air filter, do as follows:
1. Before removing the air filter cover, move the choke lever to the
CHOKE

FIGURE 3 DANGER DO NOT SIPHON FUEL BY MOUTH. GASOLINE IS TOXIC AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
NEVER STORE POWERHEAD WITH FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK INSIDE AN ENCLOSED AREA OR BUILDING. FUEL VAPORS CAN COLLECT AND CAUSE A FIRE.
Transporting Your Earth Auger Powerhead
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 cultivator. Allow to dry.
6. Ensure gas cap is shut tightly before transporting powerhead in a vehicle.
Long-Term Storage
If your powerhead will not be used for more than one month, prepare it for long term storage.
Steps for Long-Term Storage
1. Mix an appropriate amount of fuel stabilizer to fresh gasoline in the ratio recommended on the stabilizer packaging. Run the engine for five minutes to distribute the stabilizer mixture throughout the fuel system. This will prevent gum, varnish and corrosion build up in your fuel system during long-term storage for up to 12 months.
2. Remove auger from powerhead and apply a thin layer of grease to the output shaft of the transmission.
2. Store auger and powerhead in an upright position.
3. Remove all debris from auger and powerhead.

WARRANTY TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Ardisam, Inc. (Ardisam) warrants this powerhead under a five-year limited warranty to be free from defects in the material or workmanship or both for a period not exceeding sixty consecutive months from the date of original purchase by the first retail consumer or first commercial end user. This warranty does not apply to the engine mounted on the product. Refer to EPA warranty for engine warranty details. “Consumer use,” means personal recreational use by a retail consumer. “Commercial use,” or “commercial application“ means all other uses, including use for commercial, income producing or rental purposes. Once a product has experienced commercial use, it shall thereafter be considered as a commercial use product for the purpose of this warranty. This warranty applies to the original owner that provides a proof of purchase. This warranty is not transferable. The warranty period begins on the date of purchase by the first retail consumer or commercial end user, and continues for the sixty month consecutive period thereafter. Any unit used in a commercial application is covered for a period of 90 days after purchase by the first commercial end user. For the warranty to be valid, the product must be registered online within 30 days of purchase, or the warranty card must be filled out and received by Ardisam within 30 days of purchase. Ardisam shall not be obligated for transportation charges that result from repair or replacement under the terms of this warranty. Transportation charges are the sole responsibility of the purchaser.
This warranty excludes augers and blades due to normal wear, wear items such as grips and cables, routine maintenance items such as filter elements, o-rings, seals, lubricants, and tune-ups, rotating parts, accessory parts such as augers, extensions, and shocktops, running the powerhead (engine) on straight gasoline or with a fuel:oil ratio other than 50:1. Negligent use such as using the powerhead and auger for a purpose other than for which it was designed and manufactured, continued use of powerhead and auger after sudden change in vibration, using the powerhead and augerin violation of local codes, ordinances and good trade practices voids this warranty. *These warranties apply only to products which have not been subjected to negligent use, abuse, misuse, overload, improper installation, alteration, accident, acts of God (or other events beyond Ardisam’s control) lightning, vandalism, unauthorized parts, or if repairs have been performed at a non-authorized service facility. These warranties shall not cover damage from normal wear and tear, normal maintenance parts and services, or improper installation, operation, storage, or maintenance; nor operating the equipment above recommended maximums as stated in this manual and the accompanying engine manual.
This limited warranty applies to defects in the material or workmanship of the product only. There is no other express warranty. Implied warranties, including those of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are limited to one year from purchase, or to the extent permitted by law. All other implied warranties are excluded. Liability for incidental or consequential damages are excluded to the extent exclusion is permitted by law. Ardisam does not assume, and does not authorize any other person to assume for Ardisam, any liability in connection with the sale of Ardisam products.
To be at “No Charge,” warranty work must be sent directly to and performed by Ardisam or an Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
To obtain warranty service and/or replacement instructions, contact the Ardisam Customer Service Department at 800-345-6007.
