1. Introduction
Power auger Ground Drill 14 is used for work with two operators. During operation seizure of the auger may occur and the equip ment
may rotate in reverse - that’s why both operators must be very careful during operation and know and follow all precautions and possi-
ble risks. Return stroke is partly reduced by the power auger structure. You should know how to use the instrument to avoid damages.
Options can be changed by the manufacturer without notice.
2. Precautions
Wear a long-sleeved shirt and long pants closed at the cuff.
Do not wear neck-tie or other loosely danging garments. Such articles may become entangled in the drill when working.
Wear protective goggles.
Wear helmet when working.
Wear work shoes equipped with no-slip tread.
Wear ear plugs to protect the ear drum from noise.
Do not work for long periods of time in summer and winter. Take breaks frequently.
Do not use the auger in the rain. The possibility of your slipping is increased when the ground is wet.
Do not use the auger indoors or in poorly ventilated places.
Do not smoke in the vicinity of the auger. This equipment runs on gasoline. Keep the equipment from ames and sparks.
Do not remove the gas cap or refuel while the engine is running or hot.
Wipe the auger body of any spilled gasoline after refueling.
Store fuel in approved containers and keep in a cool place.
CHECK BEFORE START-UP
Check all bolts and nuts are securely tight. Tighten where necessary.
Check the cutting blades to avoid chipping, cracking or bending. NEVER use a drill when damaged.

CAUTIONS DURING USAGE
Do not allow other persons within 5 meters of the worksite. IT IS DANGEROUS for pets and children to be near the equipment when
operating.
Be careful when drilling through rocky ground. This equipment may rotate in reverse and damage.
Work only in a stable position.
Be sure to stop the engine before allowing persons to approach within 5 m of the equipment.
Do not allow children or anyone who is unskilled in equipment usage to operate the equipment.
Never touch the drill bit when the engine is running. Be sure the engine is off and the drill has stopped rotating before handling.
Beware of the rotating drill bit.
Be sure the drill bit has stopped moving before placing on the ground.
When deep drilling, do not attempt to complete work in one stretch. Extract soil in 2 or 3 steps.
Before servicing the auger or making repairs, always stop the engine, remove the plug cap from the spark plug and allow the engine to
cool down.
Before storing the auger drain all remaining fuel and wipe the equipment clean of dirt and debris.
NEVER store the auger near live ames.

5. Preparation before operation
Handles must be placed on the frame in the following way: handle with gas handle must be located on the right side of the starter handle.
Place the screws into the holes of handles and frame. Fix them with nuts. Tighten the screws with the instrument from the complete set.
CONNECTION OF THE THROTTLE CABLE
Connect the throttle cable to the throttle level.
CONNECTION OF THE AUGER TO THE REDUCTION GEAR
Special construction of the reduction gear shaft allows to set augers with different diameters: 32 mm and 20 mm. Combine drive shaft
and shank end. Insert the shaft into the shank end. Fix the connection with the help of screw.
AUGER CHECKUP
1. Check availability of all parts. This goes especially for the spark plug.
2. Check the air intake and outlet for clogging.
3. The auger uses an air-cooled engine. If the air passage is blocked, the engine may overheat.
4. Check the air lter for dirt. A dirty air cleaner will cause the auger to burn excess fuel.

THE LEVEL OF OIL IN THE ENGINE
Caution: Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life. Use detergent
oil. It’s not recommended to use vegetable-based uid. Check the engine oil level
with the engine stopped and in a level position.
Note: SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Use oil SAE Synthetic 5W-
30 when the average temperature in your area is within the recom mended range.
Check the engine with the engine stopped and in a level position.
1.Remove the oil ller cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
2. Insert the oil ller cap/dipstick into the oil ller neck as shown, but do not screw
it in, then remove it to check the oil level.
3. Add the oil. If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark on the dipstick.
Note: The Lubricating oil alarm system is used to prevent engine damage due to the
lack of lubricating oil in the crankcase. When the lubricating level of crankcase is
lower than the safety line, the alarm system will shut down the engine automatical-
ly (The engine switch is still in the ON position). If engine can’t start after stopping,
before check other problems, rst check the machine oil level.
THE LEVEL OF OIL IN THE GEAR CASE (for the model GD-14)
Check the level of the oil before running the engine. Check it via monitoring win-
dow. If the level is lower that required, remove the cap of the gear case ller neck
and add oil up to the red dot in the window (as shown in the picture). API GL-4/5
(Volume ~0.7 l. ) is recommended for general use.

FUEL
1. Remove the fuel tank cap and check fuel lever. If necessary add some fuel.
2. Use only motor gasoline (with a minimum of 92 octane or unleaded or low leaded gasoline).
Never use mixture of oil-fuel or sour gasoline. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
STARTING ENGINE
1. Turn main switch to ON.
2. Turn the choke valve switch to the OFF position. Attention: If the engine is very hot or the temperature is high, do not close the
choke valve.
3. Start the engine: turn the engine switch to the ON position, slowly pull the handle until there is sensation of resistance, and then
pull quickly and strongly.
Attention: Don’t loosen the handle suddenly in order to avoid rebounding and hitting the engine. You should replace it along the
direction of resilience force of starting.
6. Operation
Caution: Ground drill is designed for the operation with 1 (density 600...1600 kg/m3) and 2 ( density 1600... 1900 kg/m3) classes of
soil. Continuous working time of the ground drill with 1 class of soil (sand, clay sand, vegetable soil, peat) doesn’t exceed 5 min. Con-
tinuous working time of the ground drill with 2 class of soil (light loam, sand with crushed stone) is no more than 3 min. Recommended
interval between continuous usage is no less than 15 min with full stoppage of the engine. It’s forbidden to decline the ground drill from
the axis of drilling more than 3°. Excessive deviation can lead to the breakage of the gear case parts.
Never try to drill the hole on full depth of the auger bit. Drill step-by-step.
Excessive pressure on the ground drill can lead to the breakage of the gear case, overheating of the engine and its breakdown. Deep
the auger drill on 20-30 cm and raise it slightly in the hole. Remove earth from the auger bit. Don’t take out the whole rotating auger
bit from the hole. It can lead to the injury. Don’t speed up if the auger bit is jammed in the ground. It can lead to the breakage of the
gear-wheel of the gear case and the parts of the engine. Slow down the engine and disconnect it from the auger bit. Set the pivot of
appropriate diameter into the hole of pin – release the auger bit turning it back.

1. Let engine warm for at least 1 min.
2. Press or release throttle lever to get desired rpms. If the engine reduce rpms on load, adjust the position of throttle lever.
Important! Do not work without workmate. Otherwise it can lead to the damages. Avoid running at high rpms for long periods. The
unit needs time for lubricant to get to all internal parts. Do not run the motor at high rpms without load.
THE SELECTION OF THE GEAR CASE ROTATION DIRECTION (for the model GD-14 Reverse)
The gear case of ADA GD-14 Reverse allows to change the rotation direction. Use the reverse function when drilling with auger bit of
big diameter from 300 mm and complicated grounds. Release gas handle when the auger bit is fully dipped into the earth. Then it is
necessary to stop drilling. Change the direction of rotation. Shift the handle for the reverse operation into the extreme position from the
engine. Press gas handle. At that slowly move the ground drill up. Use the reverse function for getting the auger bit out from the earth.
Never use the reverse function for drilling. Reverse handle must be in the extreme position towards the engine when drilling.
7. Stopping
1. Release throttle to idle speed.
2. Move main switch on/off to OFF.
Note: When storing for long periods, remove all fuel from the gas tank. Do not leave the gas tank at an angle. The pressure inside the
tank can cause the gas to spill out. The working parts of the engine can get very hot.
8. Daily maintenance
Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or repairs. To prevent accidental engine start disconnect spark plug cap.
Note: Check and adjust regularly the engine if you want to achieve high performance of it. Regularly maintenance extends engine life.
In the table below there is a maintenance schedule with regular service periods.
