Operation - Eskimo M43 Mako Mode D'emploi

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: The A-weighted emission sound pres-
sure level has been measured at 97 dB L
sound power level emitted has been measured at 107 dB

blade when not in use. This will protect the cutting edge of
the ice auger blades.

been done, align hole at top of shaft with output shaft hole.
Insert bolt and secure bolt with provided allen wrench.
NOTE: The ends of the bolt should be flush with auger collar.
