4. Polttoaine- ja öljyseos

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. Käytä puhdasta, hyväksyttyä polttoainesäiliötä.
2. Pour half of the required petrol into the container.
3. Lisää koko kaksitahtiöljymäärä.
4. Shake the container thoroughly to mix.
5. Lisää loppu bensiini ja ravista uudelleen.
6. Carefully pour the mixture into the auger's fuel tank, avoiding spills.
7. Sulje polttoainesäiliön korkki tiiviisti.

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

5. Käyttöohjeet

5.1 Moottorin käynnistäminen

1. Place the auger on a flat, stable surface.
2. Ensure the fuel tank is filled with the correct fuel-oil mixture.
3. Aseta virtakytkin "ON"-asentoon.
4. Kytke rikastin päälle (jos moottori on kylmä).
5. Paina ryyppypalloa useita kertoja, kunnes polttoainetta näkyy.
6. Pull the starter cord firmly and steadily until the engine starts. Do not pull the cord to its full extension.
7. Kun moottori käynnistyy, vapauta rikastin vähitellen.
8. Anna moottorin lämmetä muutaman hetken ennen käytön aloittamista.

5.2 Porausmenettely

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. Huolto

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

6.1 Jokaisen käyttökerran jälkeen

• Clean the auger and drill bits of soil and debris.
• Inspect the drill bits for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
• Tarkista kaikkien kiinnikkeiden kireys.

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

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

6.3 Varastointi

• 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.
• Clean the entire unit thoroughly.
• Store the auger in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
