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.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE Z51 POwER IcE AuGER: The A-weighted
emission sound pressure level has been measured at 100 dB L
PA.
The
A-weighted sound power level emitted has been measured at 108.5
dB L
wA.
The total vibration value for Z51 Shark™ power ice auger was
measured at 19.7 m/s 2 .
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
blade when not in use. This will protect the cutting edge of

during storage.
NOTE: when storing unit for prolonged periods of time in
warm weather, always vent gas cap to prevent gas from
leaking from carburetor.
