5 USING THE MACHINE
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 enclosed instructions and all the warning and instruction stickers on the snow thrower and in these instructions.
Always wear protective goggles or a visor during use, maintenance and service.
5.2BEFORE STARTING
The connection cable and its plugs must be fault free and approved for outdoor use.
The connection cable may only be connected to power sockets equipped with an earth leakage cir- cuit breaker with a trip current of max. 30 mA.
The connection cable must be suspended on the ca- ble support. Otherwise there is a risk of damage alongside the plug which is potentially
ening.
Connect the snow thrower with the electric cable from the property’s power socket.
Suspend the cable on the cable support (4) and connect to the connector (3). See fig. 9.
5.3START
Start the motor and the auger as described below. See fig. 1.
1.Lean the snow thrower back slightly so that the auger is raised a little above the ground.
2.Press in and hold the button (2) . Squeeze the handle (1).
3.Release the ignition lock, lower the auger towards the ground and start to clear the snow.
5.4STOP
Stop the motor and the auger by releasing the starting handle (1). See fig. 1.
5.5SNOW CLEARANCE
See fig. 1.
Never aim the snow at bystanders.
Always stop the engine before unclogging.
Always wear eye protection when operating the snow thrower.
1.Start the motor as described above and check the ejection distance and direction.
2.If necessary, stop the motor and adjust the deflector (B). Upwards gives a longer throwing distance and down- wards gives a shorter throwing distance. Lock the deflec- tor in position using the knob (5).
3.If necessary, stop the motor and adjust the discharge chute (A) with the lever (6) so that the snow is ejected in the desired direction.
4.Stop working by releasing the starting handle (1).
5.Any unclogging can easily be carried out with a piece of wood or similar after the engine has stopped.
The snow thrower is propelled automatically with the aid of the auger. To facilitate propulsion, raise the handlebar a little. Do not push the snow thrower.
5.5.1 Dry and normal snow
Snow up to 20 cm deep can be removed quickly and easily by clearing at an even speed. Plan for downwind discharge of the snow.
5.5.2 Wet, packed snow
Drive slowly forward. If the wet, packed snow blocks the dis- charge chute, back up and jab a little way into the snow a few times to clear the deflector.
5.6AFTER USE
The snow thrower must never be rinsed with wa- ter. Risk of damage to the electrical system and risk of electric shocks.
1.Stop the motor.
2.Disconnect the electric cable from the snow thrower and the property’s power socket.
3.Allow the snow thrower to cool for 30 minutes.
4.Clean the inside and outside of the snow thrower with a suitable brush.
5.Check that there are no damaged or loose parts. Repair/ replace parts if necessary.
