Replacing the fuel filter fig. 8
The felt filter (J) of the fuel filter can become clogged.
It is recommended to replace the fuel filter once every
three months in order to ensure unimpeded fuel flow
to the carburetor.
To remove the fuel filter for replacement, pull it out
through the tank filler neck using a piece of wire bent
at one end to form a hook.

10. Storage/Transport

Transport
Leave the motor to cool down before transporting the
machine or storing it indoors in order to prevent burn-
ing and fire hazards.
Turn off the motor even for short distances when
changing locations during work.
Carry the auger exclusively by the handle. Do not
touch the casing (risk of burning).
When transporting the auger in a vehicle, it must be
stored safely.

The fuel tank (2) must be emptied completely before
transport.
Storage
Never store an auger for longer than 30 days without
carrying out the following steps.
Follow the cleaning instructions and maintenance in-
structions before storing the device!
Storing the auger
If you store an auger for longer than 30 days, it must
be prepared ahead of time. Unless the storage in-
structions are followed, fuel remaining in the carbu-
retor will evaporate, leaving gum-like deposits. This
could lead to difficult starting and result in costly re-
pairs.
• Remove the fuel tank cap slowly to release any
pressure in tank. Carefully drain the fuel tank.
• Start the engine and let it run until the engine stops
in order to remove the fuel from the carburettor.
• Allow the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
• Remove the spark plug.
• Pour 1 teaspoon of clean 2-cycle oil into the com-
bustion chamber. Pull starter rope slowly several
times to coat internal components. Replace spark
plug.
• Store the auger in a dry location, far away from po-
tential sources of ignition, such as furnaces, hot
water boilers with gas, gas dryers, etc.
Recommissioning the auger
• Remove spark plug.
• Pull starter rope briskly to clear excess oil from
combustion chamber.
• Clean the spark plug and check that the electrode
gap is correct.
• Prepare unit for operation.
• Fill fuel tank with proper fuel / oil mixture.
