jacket. Also wear long trousers or slacks. Do not wear open

shoes, and never operate the machine with bare feet.

• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can get caught in

moving parts. Always keep hands, feet, hair and loose clothing

away from any moving parts on engine and machine.

Gasoline Fires and Handling Fuel Safely

Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are

ammable and vapors are explosive.

• Never ll your fuel tank with fuel indoors. (Examples include:

basement, garage, barn, shed, house, porch, ice shelter, etc.)

• When storing extra fuel be sure that it is in an appropriate

container and away from any re hazards.

• Prevent re and explosion caused by static electric discharge.

Use only nonmetal, portable fuel containers approved by the

Underwriter’s Laboratory (U.L.) or the American Society for

Testing & Materials (ASTM).

• Always ll fuel tank outside in a well ventilated area. Never

fill your fuel tank with fuel indoors. (Examples include:

basement, garage, barn, shed, house, porch, etc.) Never

ll tank near appliances with pilot lights, heaters, or other

ignition sources. If the fuel has to be drained, this should be

done outdoors and with the proper equipment. Do not pour

fuel from fuel tank. The drained fuel should be stored in a

container specically designed for fuel storage or it should

be disposed of carefully.

• Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine

running. Stop engine and allow to cool before removing the

fuel cap/and or relling the engine.

• Do not smoke near or while handling engine fuel.

• Never drain fuel from engine in an enclosed area.

• Always wipe up excess (spilled) fuel from engine before

starting. Clean up spilled fuel immediately. If fuel is spilled,

do not start the engine but move product and fuel container

away from the area. Clean up spilled fuel and allow to

evaporate and dry after wiping and before starting.

• Allow fuel fumes/vapors to escape from the area before

starting engine.

• Test the fuel cap for proper installation before starting and

using engine.

• Always run the engine with fuel cap properly installed on

the engine.

• Never smoke while relling engine fuel tank.

• Do not store engine with fuel in fuel tank indoors. Fuel and

fuel vapors are highly explosive.

• During storage, tightly screw down fuel cap.

• Never pour fuel from engine fuel tank.

• Never siphon fuel by mouth to drain fuel tank.

• Always have an adult fill the fuel tank and never allow

children to ll the fuel tank.

• Never allow anyone under the inuence of drugs or alcohol

to ll the fuel tank.

• When storing gasoline or equipment with fuel in the tank,

store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other

appliances that have a pilot light or other ignition source

because they can ignite gasoline vapors.

BURNS AND FIRES

The muer, muer guard and other parts of the engine

become extremely hot during the operation of the engine.

These parts remain extremely hot after the engine has stopped.

FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL

WARRANTY STATEMENT

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), togeth-

er with Ardisam, Inc. (Ardisam), are pleased to explain the Emission

Control System Warranty on your small o-road engine (SORE). New

small o-road engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet

stringent anti-smog standards the federal government. Ardisam will

warrant the emission control system on your engine for the periods of

time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, modi-

cation or improper maintenance of your engine.

The emission control system includes all components whose failure

would increase the emissions of any regulated pollutant. These com-

ponents are listed in the emission-related parts list located in a subse-

quent section of this emissions warranty statement. Ardisam will repair

your engine at no cost to you for diagnosis, replacement parts and la-

bor, should a warrantable condition occur.

MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:

The emission control system is warranted for two years. If, during such

warranty period, any emission-related part on your engine is found to

be defective in materials or workmanship, repairs or replacement will

be performed by a Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility.

PURCHASER’S/OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:

As the SORE purchaser/owner, you are responsible for the completion

of all required maintenance as listed in your factory supplied manu-

al(s). For warranty purposes, Ardisam recommends that you retain all

receipts covering maintenance on your SORE. However, Ardisam can-

not deny warranty solely because of the lack of receipts or for your

failure to ensure the completion of all scheduled maintenance.

As the SORE purchaser/owner, you should, however, be aware that

Ardisam may deny any and/or all warranty coverage or responsibili-

ty if your SORE or a part/component thereof, has failed due to abuse,

neglect, improper maintenance or modications, or the use of coun-

terfeit and/or “grey market” parts not made, supplied or approved by

Ardisam.

You are responsible for presenting your SORE to an Ardisam Autho-

rized Warranty Service Facility as soon as a problem occurs. The war-

ranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not

to exceed 30 days.

Warranty service can be arranged by contacting either your selling

dealer or a Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility. To locate the

Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility nearest you, call our free

number:

obligations under the Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warran-

ty), which is provided to you by Ardisam pursuant to federal law. See also

the Ardisam “Product Warranty” (non-emission warranties), which is en-

closed herewith on a separate sheet or located in additional materials

accompanying this product. The ECS Warranty applies only to the

emission control system of your new engine. If there is any conict in

terms between the ECS Warranty and the Ardisam Warranty, the ECS

Warranty shall apply except in circumstances where the Ardisam War-

ranty may provide a longer warranty period. Both the ECS Warranty

and the Ardisam Warranty describe important rights and obligations

with respect to your new engine.

Warranty service can be performed only by an Ardisam Authorized

Warranty Service Facility. When requesting warranty service, evidence

must be presented showing the date of the sale to the original purchas-

er/owner. The purchaser/owner shall be responsible for any expenses

or other charges incurred for service calls and/or transportation of

the product to/from the inspection or repair facilities. The purchaser/

owner shall also be responsible for any and/or all damages or losses

incurred while the engine is being transported/shipped for inspection

or warranty repairs.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES:

• Les lames de coupe sont extrêmement tranchantes. Soyez

extrêmement prudent lorsque vous percez un trou ou que vous

remplacez les lames. Remettez le protège lames après chaque

utilisation.

• Ne transportez pas la tête motorisée de la tarière entre chaque trou

avec le moteur en marche.

• La tarière ne devrait pas tourner lorsque le moteur tourne au

ralenti. Si elle tourne lorsque le moteur est au ralenti, contactez un

centre de service autorisé Eskimo pour des instructions.

• Gardez toujours les mains, les pieds, les cheveux et les vêtements

amples loin de toutes pièces mobiles du moteur et de la tarière.

• Ne laissez pas des enfants opérer cette appareil. Ne laissez pas des

adultes opérer cet appareil sans directives adéquates.

• N’opérez aucun appareil motorisé sous l’influence de l’alcool ou de drogues.

• Assurez-vous que les écrous, boulons et vis sont bien serrés.

• Le moteur doit être éteint et refroidi et le câble pour bougie doit

être enlevé de la bougie avant de tenter toutes réparations.

• La température du silencieux et des zones avoisinantes peut

dépasser 65° C (150° F). Évitez ces zones.

• Ne faites jamais fonctionner le moteur à l’intérieur ou dans un

endroit fermé. L’échappement du moteur contient du monoxyde

de carbone, un gaz inodore et mortel.

• Si la tarière à glace ne tourne pas dans un trou, éteignez le moteur

et laissez refroidir avant de tenter de l’enlever manuellement.

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ POUR LE MOTEUR

Prévenir l’Empoisonnement au Monoxyde de Carbone

• N’essayez jamais de ventiler l’échappement du moteur à l’in-

térieur. Le monoxyde de carbone peut atteindre des niveaux dan-

gereux très rapidement.

• Ne faites jamais fonctionner le moteur à l’extérieur là où les

fumées peuvent être attirées dans un édice.

• Ne faites jamais fonctionner le moteur à l’extérieur dans un en-

droit mal ventilé où les fumées d’échappement peuvent être con-

tenues et non facilement évaporées. (Par exemple : dans un grand

trou ou des endroits qui sont couverte de bancs de neige).

• Ne faites jamais fonctionner le moteur dans un endroit fermé ou

partiellement fermé. (Par exemple : des édices qui sont fermés sur

un ou plusieurs côtés, à l’intérieur des abris, garages ou sous-sols).

• Faites toujours fonctionner le moteur avec l’échappement et le

silencieux dirigés loin de l’opérateur.
