Anyone who uses this auger must read the instructions and be familiar with the controls. This symbol points out important safety instructions which if not followed could endanger your personal safety. Read and follow all instructions in this manual before attempting to operate this equipment. • The ice blades are very sharp. Use extreme caution when drilling a hole or replacing the blades. Put blade guard on after each use. • Do not carry the auger powerhead between holes with the engine running. • The auger should not rotate when the engine is idling. If it does rotate when engine is idling, contact Ardisam,Inc. for instructions. • Always hands, feet, hair and loose clothing away from any moving parts on engine and auger. • Do not allow children to operate this power auger. Do not allow adults to operate the auger without proper instruction. • Do not operate any power equipment under the influence of alcohol or drugs. • Keep all screws, nuts and bolts tight. • Engine should be turned off and cool, spark plug wire must be removed from spark plug before any repairs are attempted. • Temperature of muffler and nearby areas may exceed 150º F (65º C). Avoid these areas. • Never run engine indoors or in an enclosed area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas. • If the ice auger becomes unturnable in a hole, turn engine off and allow to cool before attempting to remove it manually. 800-345-6007 Page ® ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS and parts explosions Mako Models ENGINE safety PRECAUTIONS Warning Carbon Monoxide Poisoning All engines contain carbon monoxide in their exhaust. Carbon monoxide is a deadly, colorless, tasteless, odorless gas which may be present even if you do not smell or see any engine exhaust. Levels of carbon monoxide, which can be deadly, can be present for days in an enclosed area that has poor ventilation. Any level of carbon monoxide, if inhaled, can cause headaches, drowsiness, nausea, dizziness, confusion and eventually death. If you experience any of these symptons, seek fresh air and medical attention immediately. • Allow fuel fumes/vapors to escape from the area before starting engine. • Test the fuel cap for proper installation before starting and using engine. • Always run the engine with fuel cap properly installed on the engine. • Replace fuel cap that allows gas to spill or leak. • Never smoke while refilling engine fuel tank. • Prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric discharge. Use only non-metal, portable fuel containers approved by the Underwriter’s Laboratory (U.L.) or the American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM). • Do not store engine with fuel in fuel tank indoors. Fuel and fuel vapors are highly explosive. • Never pour fuel from engine fuel tank. • Never siphon fuel by mouth to drain fuel tank. • Always have an adult fill the fuel tank. • Never allow an adult or anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol to fill engine. • Never allow children to fill the engine. Preventing Carbon Monoxide Poisoning • Never run engine indoors. • Never try to ventilate engine exhaust indoors. Carbon monoxide can reach dangerous levels very quickly. • Never run engine outdoors where exhaust fumes may be pulled into a building. • Never run engine outdoors in a poorly ventilated area where the exhaust fumes may be trapped and not easily taken away. (Examples include: in a large hole or areas where hills surround your working area.) • Never run engine in an enclosed or partially enclosed area. (Examples include: buildings that are enclosed on one or more sides, under tents, car ports or basements.) • Always run the engine with the exhaust and muffler pointed in the direction away from the operator. • Never point the exhaust muffler towards anyone. People should always be many feet away from the operation of the engine and its attachments. Gasoline Fires or Handling Fuel Safely Fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable. Never use fuel where a spark or flame may be present. Never use fuel where a potential source of ignition could occur. (Examples include: hotwater or space heaters, clothes dryer, electric motors, etc.) Keep flames and sparks away from engine and fuel to prevent fires. Fuel fires spread very quickly and are highly explosive. BURNS AND FIRES The muffler, muffler guard and other parts of the engine become extremely hot during the operation of the engine. These parts remain extremely hot after the engine has stopped. Prevention of Burns and Fires • Never remove the muffler guard from the engine. • Never touch the muffler guard because it is extremely hot and will cause severe burns. • Never touch parts of the engine that become hot after operation. • Always keep materials and debris away from muffler guard and other hot parts of the engine to avoid fires. Prevention of Gasoline Fires • Never fill your fuel tank with fuel indoors. (Examples include: basement, garage, barn, shed, house, porch, ice shelter, etc.) • Always fill fuel tank outside in a well ventilated area. • Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine running. Stop engine and allow to cool before filling. • Never drain fuel from engine in an enclosed area. • Always wipe up excess (spilled) fuel from engine before starting. Clean up spilled fuel immediately. • Allow spilled fuel to dry, after wiping and before starting.

Never alter or modify the engine from the factory. Serious injury or death may occur if engine is modified or altered. Avoid injury! When working on or replacing parts for the engine or aUGER you must always disconnect spark plug wire from the spark plug and keep it away from the spark plug. Avoid injury! Always wear hearing protection while operating engine. Avoid injury! Please do not start your ICE auger until you have read the previous section of this manual. If you have read these, follow the steps below to start your ICE auger. Avoid injury! Never store engine with GAS in the tank indoors. Fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable. GAS and Oil Quality To operate the engine, we recommend using “VIPER” brand 2-cycle oil (PN 300400) to ensure that the engine operates correctly during the break-in period and the life of the engine. Use unleaded regular or unleaded premium gas only. Mixture Run ice auger with a 50:1 ratio. GAS OIL RATIO 1 galllon 2.5 ounces 50:1 2 gallons 5 ounces 50:1 5 gallons 13 ounces 50:1 Mixing Fuel AND FILLING GAS TANK Mixing Fuel 1. Fuel must be mixed in a container outside in a well ventilated area. Avoid injury! Never mix fuel and oil directly in engine GAS tank. Use only non-metal, portable fuel containers approved by the Underwriter’s Laboratory (U.L.) or the American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM). Avoid injury! An adult must always handle and fill the engine with fuel. Avoid injury! Always handle FUEL in a well ventilated area, outdoors, away from flames or sparks. IMPORTANT tHIS ENGINE USES A GAS/OIL MIXTURE. DO NOT RUN ON STRAIGHT GAS ONLY, ENGINE DAMAGE WILL RESULT. 2. Fill certified fuel container 1/4 full of recommended fuel. 3. Add recommended amount of 2-cycle oil. 4. Screw container cap on straight and tight. 5. Shake the container to mix fuel and oil. 6. Unscrew gas cap slowly to vent, add the remainder of fuel requirements. 7. Wipe away any spilled fuel or oil and allow to evaporate before moving or transporting. 800-345-6007 Page ® ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS and parts explosions Mako Models Filling Gas Tank 1. Shut-off engine and allow engine to completely cool before refilling the gas tank. 2. Move to a well ventilated area, outdoors, away from flames and sparks. 3. Clean debris from area around the gas cap. 4. Loosen gas cap slowly. Place the cap on a clean, dry surface. 5. Carefully add fuel without spilling. 6. Do not fill gas tank completely full, allow space for fuel to expand. ! CAUTION Avoid injury! Always handle FUEL in a well ventilated area, outdoors, away from flames or sparks. Avoid injury! DO NOT start engine if fuel is spilled. Wipe off excess fuel and allow to dry. Remove engine from area to avoid sparks. 7. Immediately replace gas cap and tighten. Wipe off spilled fuel and allow to dry before starting engine. NORMAL OPERATION 1. The clutch will transfer maximum power after about two hours of normal operation. During this break-in period clutch slippage may occur. The clutch should be kept free of oil or other moisture for efficient operation. 2. Drill holes without placing excessive body weight on the unit. The auger operates most efficiently with a shaving action caused by the weight of the unit itself. 3. Never run engine indoors. Exhaust fumes are deadly. 4. Do not use an ice auger in the earth. 5. The ice auger blade protector should be attached to the auger head when not in use. This will protect the cutting edge of the ice auger blades. 6. To attach auger to powerhead if not done, align hole at top of shaft with output shaft hole. Insert bolt and secure bolt with provided allen wrench. NOTE: The ends of the bolt should be flush with auger collar. Bolt head and thread end should never go beyond ice collar. Using The Screw Type, Manual Venting Gas Cap Your power ice auger is equipped with a screw type, manual venting gas cap. 1. Before starting the engine, turn the screw in the top of the gas cap all the way open (counterclockwise) to its venting position. To ensure that gas will not spill during use, check that the gas cap is screwed on tightly and the gas cap screw is in the venting position. 2. After using the power ice auger and before putting away or transporting it in a vehicle, screw the gas cap screw on (clockwise) tightly. This will prevent gas from leaking during storage. The gas cap will not leak gas during storage if the gas cap is tight and the screw at the top is tight. NOTE: When storing unit for prolonged periods of time in warm weather, vent gas cap to prevent gas from leaking from carburetor.

Frequently asked questions
The manual recommends using "VIPER" brand 2-cycle oil (PN 300400) at a 50:1 gas-to-oil ratio.
Check the spark plug every 50 operating hours.
Turn the engine off and allow it to cool before attempting to remove it manually.
Wash the filter in warm, soapy water, rinse, dry completely, apply oil, and remove excess oil before reattaching.
The recommended spark plug is a NGK BM6A or a Champion CJ8.
