You are now ready for operation.

 

 

Remove the cutting head cover only after assembly is complete.  Plant your feet firmly, with the auger resting vertically on the point directly in front of you.  Prepare yourself for the initial torque at startup and depress the forward button.  Do not press down on the auger—the weight of the auger is sufficient to achieve the desired drilling effect.  Pressing down on the auger may cause damage to the mechanism. Be prepared for the brake through at the bottom of the ice, at the second of the breakthrough let off the button and the drive will stop instantly WARNING If the drive does not stop (the brake has failed. And will need to be returned to Icegator, LLC for repairs)
