step 2: check fuel level is above 1/4 tank.use normal starting procedures(page6)

step 3: remove spark plug and clean ifrequired. use normal startingprocedures (page 6) .

step 4: place spark plug in plug cap and touchto spark plug opening in lower cover,pull cord (shield plug from directsunlight), look for a spark. replace ifrequired. Regap new or cleaned plug to 45/1000 of and inch use only BPM4A by NGK!

use normal starting procedures (page 6) .

step 5. inspect spark plug wire for damage,replace if required. use normalstarting procedures (page 6) .

step 6: view fuel sight on side of tank, lookingfor air bubbles. if air bubbles arepresent fuel line may be damaged.inspect and replace if required.use normal starting procedures (page 6) .

step 7: inspect and clean air filter.use normal starting procedures (page 6) .

trouble shooting breaking

problem 1:

the machine runs but does not break.

a. Check if mix is correct (should be 1:16 sae 30 or 40 weight oil and regular gasoline).

b. Check tool shank length (should be4-1/4” long measured from collar).Replace if required.

problem 2:

the machine breaks but when downpressure is released it stops running.

a. Machine may require service, call SKIDRIL at 1-800-843-3745

problem 3:

the machine breaks normally untilwarm

a. Fuel mixture may be incorrect checkand replace.

problem 4:

the machine breaks only when throttleis depressed (machine is slowed) orwarm.

a. as this lower section (impact end) ofthe machine is lubricated last it may benormal to warm the machine up in orderto achieve normal breaking action.

b. Fuel mixture may be incorrect checkand replace.

trouble shooting drilling

problem 1:

the machine runs but does not drill.

a. Check that the air holes in bit androd are not plugged, clear if required.

b. Check if fuel mix is is correct (should be 1:16 sae 30 or 40 weight oil and regular gasoline).

c. Check tool shank length (4-1/4” longmeasured from collar). Replace ifrequired.

d. Check bit, if worn, replace.

e. Machine may require service, call SKIDRIL at 1-800-843-3745

problem 2:

the machine drills normally until warm

a. Fuel mixture may be incorrect checkand replace if required.

b. Machine may require service, call SKIDRIL at 1-800-843-3745

problem 3:

the machine drills normally untilseveral inches in the drill hole

a. larger bits (3”+) require pumping thebit in the hole to help cuttings removal.you may have to lift the machine anddrop it back in the hole to pump cuttingsout.

B. The machine is designed to drill rockor concrete only, clear hole of dirt orchips.

C. the drill hole direction cannot bechanged once started as this may causethe bit to stop rotating. straighten inhole and depress throttle to startrotation, then release as more speed isrequired.

*Do Not: Use 2 cycleor multi grade oils!

Use of the incorrectmixture could damagethe machine and voidthe warranty!

NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:

*You can use water (besure to use enough) toclear large/deep holes,by pouring it in thehole.

*Do not attempt to drilldirt or asphalt asdrilling will stop andbit may becomeplugged.

*If the direction of thebit is changed duringdrilling or the drillstops due to cuttings ordirt binding in the hole,lift up on the machineand depress the throttleto start drilling action.Then slowly lower themachine back into thehole. This may also occur with Rebar!

a. Pulling the starter slowly, aselectronic ignition will not generate aspark, but will pump fuel.b. a hot machine is choked duringstarting.c. the machine is transported with fuelin the tank.d. the machine is not startedimmediately after opening the needle.e. the fuel tank is filled past the 2/3level (top of SKIDRIL logo).

To deflood a machine:To deflood a machine:To deflood a machine:To deflood a machine: a. Turn needle (item 1, p4& sketch p6 )all the way clockwise (to the right) oroff position.c. DO NOT depress the throttle!b. Pull the starter several times (10-15in severe cases), until the machine runs.c. allow the machine to run until itstops.d. open the needle 2/3 counterclockwise (to the left), and pull thecord immediately.e. after a few seconds turn needleclockwise (to the right), to find thehighest (leanest mix) speed withoutbackfiring.f. proceed with work per normalconditions.

*item 1 Turn needle 1/8 turn further counterclockwise (to the left) from theposition at which machine was lastrunning.

*item 2. do not push down throttle as the machine does not require priming, and flooding may occur.

NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:

*You can determine ifa machine is floodedwhen you smell fuel orsee fuel coming fromthe exhaust pipe.

Open needle (item 1, p4 & sketch below) all the way counter clockwise(to the left).b. Push down and hold throttle (item 6,p6), this will prime the machine.c. Pull the starter grip (item 3, p4), until the machine fires.d. Restart machine by pulling starterwhile only partially depressingthrottle button.e. Slowly release the throttle as themachine warms.f. Gradually turn the needle (Item 1, p4 & sketch below) clockwise (to the right)to find the highest speed without backfiring (leanest setting possible).

-If the needle fails to stop the engine you can kill the machine by removing the spark plug cap (item 11, p4).

6. General Operating Info:6. General Operating Info:6. General Operating Info:6. General Operating Info: a. By pressing the throttle button(while the machine is running) themachine speed and impact force isreduced. b. You need not apply excessive pressure on the machine duringoperation, especially during drillingoperations as speed/performance, maybe reduced. Only apply enough down pressure to prevent the machine from bouncing.
