3.1 Medfølgende komponenter

Kontroller, at alle komponenter er til stede og ubeskadigede:

• Scheppach EB1700 Earth Auger power head
• 100 mm diameter drill bit
• 150 mm diameter drill bit
• 200 mm diameter drill bit
• Brugervejledning (dette dokument)

3.2 Montering af borekronen

1. Sørg for, at motoren er slukket og afkølet.
2. Select the desired drill bit size (100 mm, 150 mm, or 200 mm).
3. Align the drill bit shaft with the output shaft of the auger power head.
4. Insert the drill bit shaft into the power head's coupling.
5. Secure the drill bit using the provided locking pin. Ensure the pin passes completely through both the drill bit shaft and the power head coupling, and is secured with a cotter pin or clip.
6. Verify the drill bit is securely attached before operation.

4. Brændstof- og olieblanding

The Scheppach EB1700 is powered by a 2-stroke engine and requires a specific fuel-oil mixture. Use unleaded petrol with an octane rating of 90 RON or higher, mixed with high-quality 2-stroke engine oil.

Recommended Mixing Ratio: Refer to the engine oil manufacturer's instructions, typically 1:25 or 1:50 (e.g., 40 ml of oil per 1 liter of petrol for 1:25, or 20 ml of oil per 1 liter of petrol for 1:50). Always follow the oil manufacturer's recommendation for the specific 2-stroke oil used.

1. Brug en ren, godkendt brændstofbeholder.
2. Pour half of the required petrol into the container.
3. Tilsæt hele mængden af ​​2-taktsolie.
4. Shake the container thoroughly to mix.
5. Add the remaining petrol and shake again.
6. Carefully pour the mixture into the auger's fuel tank, avoiding spills.
7. Luk brændstoftankens dæksel forsvarligt.

Never use pure petrol or automotive engine oil in a 2-stroke engine. This will cause severe engine damage.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

5.1 Start af motoren

1. Placer sneglen på en flad, stabil overflade.
2. Ensure the fuel tank is filled with the correct fuel-oil mixture.
3. Sæt tænd/sluk-knappen i positionen "TIL".
4. Aktiver chokeren (hvis motoren er kold).
5. Tryk flere gange på primerpumpen, indtil brændstoffet er synligt.
6. Pull the starter cord firmly and steadily until the engine starts. Do not pull the cord to its full extension.
7. Når motoren starter, skal chokeren gradvist udløses.
8. Lad motoren varme op i et par øjeblikke, før du begynder at køre.

5.2 Boreprocedure

1. Hold the auger firmly with both hands on the handles.
2. Position the drill bit over the desired drilling location.
3. Slowly engage the throttle to start the drill bit rotating.
4. Apply gentle downward pressure as the drill bit penetrates the soil. The engine's weight assists in vertical drilling.
5. Adjust the throttle to control the drilling speed (0 to 310 RPM). The throttle lever can be locked for continuous operation in optimal soil conditions.
6. If the drill encounters resistance (e.g., rocks, roots), release the throttle immediately. Attempt to clear the obstruction or reposition the auger.
7. To remove the drill bit from the hole, maintain a low throttle and lift the auger steadily.
8. After drilling, release the throttle and allow the engine to idle before shutting it off.

6. Vedligeholdelse

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Scheppach EB1700 Earth Auger.

6.1 Efter hver brug

• Clean the auger and drill bits of soil and debris.
• Inspect the drill bits for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
• Tjek alle fastgørelsesanordninger for tæthed.

6.2 Regular Checks (e.g., every 10-20 operating hours)

• Luftfilter: Clean or replace the air filter. A clogged air filter can reduce engine performance.
• Tændrør: Inspect the spark plug. Clean or replace if fouled or worn. Ensure the correct gap.
• Brændstoffilter: Check and clean or replace the fuel filter if accessible.
• Køleribber: Ensure engine cooling fins are free of debris to prevent overheating.

6.3 Opbevaring

• For long-term storage, drain the fuel tank and run the engine until it stops to clear the carburetor of fuel. This prevents fuel degradation and carburetor clogging.
• Rengør hele enheden grundigt.
• Store the auger in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
