McGurk Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Take a minute this week to pull your ice gear's batteries out and give them an up-charge. Can't hurt! While your at it, give your auger a quick start to keep her fresh and diagnose any potential problems while it's still warm out. The days are getting shorter already!

DTro Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Batteries charging and Auger fired up.Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCLaker Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Batteries good to go. Auger is barried with the ice gear so won't be firing it up. But I fogged the engine and ran the engine dry with stablizer in the gas so should be good to go come winter.Don't forget to disconnect the battery on your flasher/camera. The battery indicaters will run them down over time. Friend toasted his battery last year when the kept it hooked up on his LX-5 over the summer.

jigging-matt Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Got a pretty good look from the neighbors about a week ago when I was standing in the driveway running my auger when it was about 90+ degrees out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
