Question
Sander v.
I was finally able to hit the ice for the first time this hard water season and was kinda bummed out shortly after I began drilling. Around 6inches into my first cut the auger began to bog down and nearly shut off. I wrote it off and began drilling once again, same issue. The problem persisted throughout approximately 10 holes drilled and the auger actually shut down twice during drilling. Wondering if any of you can assist in some troubleshooting potential issues.
Here is some more info that may be of assistance in a diagnosis:
Changed oil approximately 2 months ago and filled tank at the same time. After this I let the auger run for approximately 10 minutes to cycle the fluids.
Today I also let the auger "warm up for a few minutes prior to cutting.
Your thoughts?
Thanks.....
