Operator's Manual

Dually™ Earth Auger Powerhead

OPERATION

GAS AND OIL QUALITY

To operate the engine, we recommend using Viper® brand 2-cycle

oil (P/N 16890) to ensure that the engine operates correctly

throughout the life of the engine. Viper® brand two-cycle oil

has fuel stabilizer additive which helps to prevent gasoline from

oxidizing and gumming up the carburetor when the unit is not

in use for long periods of time. Use unleaded regular gas only.

It is best to use premium gasoline that has no ethanol content.

NOTE: Viper® oil can be purchased from our web site at www.

getearthquake.com.

Run earth auger with a 50:1 ratio.
