To assemble the Scheppach EB1700 SE auger, start by attaching the handle to the main body using the provided screws. Then, connect the auger bit to the drive shaft by aligning the holes and securing it with the locking pin. Ensure all connections are tight before use.
The Scheppach EB1700 SE requires a mixture of unleaded gasoline and two-stroke oil. The recommended ratio is 40:1, which means you should mix 40 parts gasoline to 1 part oil.
If the auger does not start, check the fuel level and ensure the fuel mix is correct. Inspect the spark plug for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Make sure the choke is in the correct position for starting and the ignition switch is turned on.
Regular maintenance includes checking and cleaning the air filter, inspecting the spark plug, and ensuring the fuel system is free of debris. Additionally, lubricate moving parts and inspect the auger bit for wear after each use.
To replace the auger bit, first ensure the engine is off and cool. Remove the locking pin from the drive shaft, slide off the old bit, and align the new bit with the shaft holes. Secure it with the locking pin.
Wear protective gear, including goggles and gloves. Ensure the work area is clear of obstacles and bystanders. Always operate the auger with both hands and maintain a firm footing. Never touch the moving parts while the engine is running.
To adjust the carburetor, locate the adjustment screws on the side of the carburetor. Turn the idle speed and mixture screws slowly to achieve a smooth engine operation. It is recommended to consult the manual for specific settings.
Excessive vibration can be caused by a bent auger bit or loose engine mounts. Inspect and replace the bit if necessary, and tighten any loose bolts or screws on the unit.
Drain the fuel tank and run the engine until it stops to clear the carburetor. Clean the auger thoroughly and store it in a dry, protected location. Remove the spark plug and add a few drops of oil into the cylinder to prevent rust.
Common causes include a dirty air filter, clogged fuel filter, or a worn spark plug. Ensure the fuel mixture is correct and inspect these components regularly for optimal performance.
