4.2 Barreja de combustible

The EB2000 is powered by a 2-stroke engine and requires a specific fuel mixture. Refer to the engine's label or manual for the exact ratio, typically 1:40 (2.5% oil) or 1:50 (2% oil) petrol to 2-stroke engine oil. Use fresh, unleaded petrol with an octane rating of 90 RON or higher and high-quality 2-stroke engine oil designed for air-cooled engines.

• Mix the fuel in a separate, approved fuel container.
• Pour the correct amount of 2-stroke oil into the container, then add the petrol.
• Shake the container gently to ensure thorough mixing.
• Fill the auger's fuel tank carefully, avoiding spills. Do not overfill.

5.2 Drilling Technique

Figure 3: Proper two-person operation of the earth auger for stability and control.

• Always operate the auger with two people, each holding a handle firmly.
• Position the auger bit over the desired drilling location.
• Slowly increase the throttle to engage the auger bit.
• Apply steady, downward pressure as the auger drills into the soil. Avoid excessive force.
• Periodically lift the auger slightly to clear loose soil from the hole and prevent jamming.
• If the auger jams, immediately release the throttle and turn off the engine. Carefully remove the auger from the hole.

5.3 Parar el motor

To stop the engine, simply move the ignition switch to the 'OFF' position.

6. Manteniment

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your earth auger.

• Neteja: After each use, clean the auger bit and power head of dirt and debris. Use a damp cloth for the engine housing.
• Filtre d'aire: Check and clean the air filter regularly, especially in dusty conditions. A dirty air filter can reduce engine performance.
• Bujía: Inspect the spark plug periodically. Clean or replace it if it is fouled or worn.
• Sistema de combustible: Per a un emmagatzematge a llarg termini (més de 30 dies), buideu el dipòsit de combustible i feu funcionar el motor fins que s'aturi per buidar el carburador. Això evita la degradació i l'enganxament del combustible.
• Bit de barrena: Inspect the auger bit for wear or damage. Sharpen or replace as needed.
