5 USING THE SNOW THROWER
5.1GENERAL
Never start the engine until all the above measures under ASSEMBLY have been carried out.
Never use the snow thrower without first reading and understanding the instructions and all the warning and instruction stickers on the machine.
Always use protective goggles or a visor during use, maintenance and service.
5.2BEFORE STARTING
Some snow throwers are delivered without oil in the engine. Fill the engine with oil before using.
Do not start the engine until filled with oil. The engine can be seriously damaged without oil.
1.Place the machine on a level floor.
2.Loosen the dipstick and fill with oil up to the FULL mark See fig. 8.
3.Use good quality oil marked A.P.I service SF, SG or SH. Use SAE 5W30 - 10W40 oil.
4.The crankcase holds: 0.45 litres.
Always check the oil level before using. The snow thrower must stand on level ground when checking.
5.3FILL UP THE PETROL TANK
Always use
NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary
Environmental petrol can be used, i.e. alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a composition that is less harmful for people and nature.
Petrol is highly inflammable. Always store fuel in containers that are made especially for this purpose.
Store the petrol in a cool, well ventilated place – not in the house. Store the petrol well out of reach for children.
Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors, and never smoke when filling or topping up. Fill with fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the filler cap or fill with petrol while the engine is running or still warm.
Do not fill the petrol tank right to the top. After filling, screw the filler cap on tightly and wipe up any spilt petrol.
5.4STARTING THE ENGINE, SEE FIG. 1
Do not touch engine components because they are warm during use and up to 30 minutes after use. Risk of burn injuries.
Never run the machine indoors. The exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a very toxic gas.
1.Make sure the driving (6) and auger (7) clutch levers are disengaged.
2.Set the stop switch (13) in position “1”.
3.Turn the choke (3) to position 
. Note: A warm engine does not need the choke.
4.Pull on the starter cord until you feel resistance. Start the engine with a sharp pull.
5.When the engine starts, reset the choke until it is fully open.
5.5STOPPING
1.Release both clutch levers. Note. If the snow thrower continues rotating - see ADJUSTING THE CONTROL WIRES below.
2.Set the stop switch (13) in position “0”.
5.6STARTING
1.Start the engine as above. Let the engine run a few minutes to warm before use.
2.Set the chute deflector.
3.Turn the adjustment lever and set the deflector to throw the snow in the direction of the wind.
The gear stick must not be moved if the driving clutch lever is depressed.
4.Set the gear lever to a suitable position.
5.Press down the auger clutch lever to activate the auger and discharge fan.
Watch out for rotating auger. Keep hands, feet, hair and loose clothing away from any moving parts on the machine.
6.Press down the auger clutch lever. The snow thrower now moves forward or backwards depending on the gear you have chosen.
5.7DRIVING TIPS
The silencer and surrounding parts become very hot when the engine is running. Risk of burns.
1.Always adapt the speed to the snowy conditions. Regulate the speed with the gear stick.
2.Snow is more effectively removed directly after falling.
3.Always throw the snow in the direction of the wind if possible.
4.Adjust the shoes with the screws (11 in fig. 1) to suit the ground conditions:
-On flat ground, e.g. asphalt, the shoes should be about 3mm under the scraping blade.
-On uneven ground, e.g. gravel paths, the shoes should be about 30mm under the scraping blade.
Always adjust the shoes so that gravel and stones are not fed into the snow thrower. There is a risk for personal injury if these are thrown out at high speed.
Ensure the shoes are adjusted the same on both sides.
5.Adapt the speed so that the snow is thrown in an even stream.
If snow fastens in the chute do not try to remove it before:
-Releasing both clutch levers.
-Stopping the engine.
-Disconnecting the cable from the spark plug.
-Do not put your hand inside the chute or auger. Use a wooden stick.
