Title: Jiffy pro4 lite
Post by: Cotacatchers on Nov 19, 2014, 06:29 PM: Just pick up a new propane pro lite. Figured its time and price was right
Upgraded from jiffy 30 which is only 1 1/2 yrs old
Last year tank crank and got gas all over everything
Installed new tank. Anyway who's using the tank sleeves ?
Notice difference with tank life with sleeve?
Thanks

Honestly think someone miss tagged them.

Thanks for input

Post by: Luckydog on Dec 10, 2014, 06:55 PM: I have a question about the amount of oil to add. The owners manual says to "Add 3 oz" and the unit came with a 3 oz. bottle. I went to the Jiffy website and they say to add 6 oz.? Should I go out and buy the extra 3 oz.? This is brand new, out of the box and I certainly don't want to do anything wrong.

Post by: Luckydog on Dec 10, 2014, 08:28 PM: Never mind :) I watched the video on the Jiffy site and they absolutely call for the 3 oz. that came with the unit.

Post by: wittyman on Dec 10, 2014, 11:23 PM: Reading this thread and watching some Youtube just convinced me to put my order for one into L&M. I thought they were out of my price range before reading this thread. Thanks!!

Post by: Luckydog on Dec 11, 2014, 04:01 PM: When I started mine up I noticed that the auger shaft kept spinning, even when the throttle was in neutral. It was spinning on the cover in the grass so I don't know if it will be ok when I actually get to use it on the ice.
