4. Erregai eta olio nahasketa

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. Use a clean, approved fuel container.
2. Pour half of the required petrol into the container.
3. Add the entire amount of 2-stroke oil.
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. Itxi ondo erregai-deposituaren tapoia.

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

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.
