2.4MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

ENGLISH

Always make sure the rotating parts have stopped and all the controls are disengaged before cleaning, repairing or inspection.

Before leaving the machine unattended, disengage all the controls, put it into neutral gear, stop the engine and remove the ignition key.

Never run the engine indoors except when taking it in and out of its place of storage. In this case ensure the door to the storage place is open. Exhaust fumes are toxic.

Never drive across a slope. Move from the top down, and from the bottom to the top. Be careful when changing direction on a slope. Avoid steep slopes.

Never operate the machine with insufficient protection or without the safety devices in place.

Existing safety devices must not be disconnected or disengaged.

Do not alter the engine’s regulator setting and do not race the engine. The possibility of personal injury increases when the engine is run at high revs.

Never use the snow thrower near enclosures, cars, windowpanes, slopes etc. without properly setting the discharge chute deflector.

Always keep children away from areas to be cleared. Get another adult to keep the children under supervision.

Do not overload the machine by driving it too fast.

Take care when reversing. Look behind you before and during reversing to check for any obstacles.

Never point the discharge chute towards bystanders. Do not allow anyone to stand in front of the machine.

Disengage the auger when the snow thrower is to be transported or is not in use Do not drive too fast on slippery surfaces when transporting.

Only use accessories that are approved by the machine’s manufacturer.

Never drive the snow thrower in bad visibility or without satisfactory lighting.

Always ensure you have a good balance and a tight grip on the handle.

Never use the snow thrower on a roof.

Do not touch engine components because they are warm during use. Risk of burn injuries.

2.4MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Tighten all nuts and screws so that the machine is in safe working condition. Check the shear bolts regularly.

Always use genuine spare parts. Non-genuine spare parts can entail a risk of injury, even if they fit the machine.

Never store the machine with petrol in the tank in buildings where the fumes can come into contact with open flames or sparks.

Allow the engine to cool before putting the machine in store.

Before a long storage, check the instructions for recommendations.

Replace damaged warning and instruction stickers.

Let the engine run a couple of minutes with the auger connected after use. This prevents the auger from freezing solid.
