4.2 Fuel Mixing

The EB2000 is powered by a 2-stroke engine and requires a specific fuel mixture. Refer to the engine's label or manual for the exact ratio, typically 1:40 (2.5% oil) or 1:50 (2% oil) petrol to 2-stroke engine oil. Use fresh, unleaded petrol with an octane rating of 90 RON or higher and high-quality 2-stroke engine oil designed for air-cooled engines.

• Mix the fuel in a separate, approved fuel container.
• Pour the correct amount of 2-stroke oil into the container, then add the petrol.
• Shake the container gently to ensure thorough mixing.
• Fill the auger's fuel tank carefully, avoiding spills. Do not overfill.

• Always operate the auger with two people, each holding a handle firmly.
• Position the auger bit over the desired drilling location.
• Slowly increase the throttle to engage the auger bit.
• Apply steady, downward pressure as the auger drills into the soil. Avoid excessive force.
• Periodically lift the auger slightly to clear loose soil from the hole and prevent jamming.
• If the auger jams, immediately release the throttle and turn off the engine. Carefully remove the auger from the hole.
