I have a pro 4 its not the light model but your going to love the propane no smell starts easy not to noisey and you got it at a good price just make sure when you set it down its in the right position and make others aware of it to thats the only thing that I dont like about it but all In all there a great auger good luck to you this season

My new toy arrived on Tuesday.  I put it together and it started right up.  My problem is that the auger continues to turn when the engine is supposed to be in neutral.  There is a 1/4" of slack in the throttle cable before the throttle lever engages.  Is this normal?

Let it sit outside overnight, then check the slack...outside. You want a bit in there, if it bothers you, adjust it so there's about 1/8" slack. You don't want it ''snug". The turning is sometimes caused because the clutch is not broken in yet, or the idle needs to be turned down a hair. If it's turning very slowly, I'd use it for a while, drill some holes, and if it still does it, adjust the idle AFTER the engine is warmed up and it's outside in cold air.
