5.6Starting
Never aim the snow at bystanders.
Always stop the engine before unclogging.
Always wear eye protection when operating the snow thrower.
1.Start the engine as above.
2.Set the height of the deflector (5, 9:L). Upwards gives a longer throwing distance and downwards gives a shorter throwing distance.
3.Set the discharge chute with the lever (5, 9:E) so that the snow is thrown downwind.
4.Start the auger and propulsion by activating the auger drive lever (5, 9:M).
5.Stop working by releasing the auger drive lever (5, 9:M).
6.Any unclogging can easily be carried out with a piece of wood or similar after the engine has stopped.
The propulsion of the snow thrower starts when the auger touchs the ground. To facilitate propulsion, raise the handlebar a little. Do not push the snow thrower. Attention! If the auger continues to rotate even though the auger drive lever (5, 9:M) has been released, adjust the wire. See ‘Maintenance’.
Attention! If the auger does not start even though the auger drive lever (5, 9:M) has been activated, adjust the wire. See ‘Maintenance’.
5.7Operating tips
1.Clear away the snow immediately after snowfall.
2.For complete snow clearance, slightly overlap each clearance pass.
3.If possible, discharge the snow downwind.
4.6.In strong wind, lower the deflector to direct the discharged snow close to the ground, where it is less likely to blow into unwanted areas.
5.For safety and to prevent damage to the snow thrower, keep the area to be cleared free of stones, toys and other foreign objects.
6.The snow thrower’s capacity depends on the depth and density of the snow. Learn how the snow thrower works in different snow conditions.
5.7.1Dry and normal snow
Snow up to 20 cm deep can be removed quickly and easily by clearing at an even speed. For snow or drifts of a greater depth, lower your speed and let the machine work at its own pace.
Plan for downwind discharge of the snow.
5.7.2Wet, packed snow
Drive slowly forward. Avoid to use the scraping blade to remove remaining packen snow and ice. Hoeing will lead to fatigue failure in the auger housing.
5.8After use
1.Allow the engine to run for a few minutes after each snow clearing operation to allow ice and snow on the snow thrower to melt away.
2.Check that there are no damaged or loose parts. Repair/ replace parts if necessary.
3.Tighten loose screw joints.
4.Shut off the choke.
5.Remove the spark plug cable from the spark plug.
6.Clean the snow thrower after each use. Wash off with water to remove salt or other chemicals. Wipe the snow thrower dry
6 MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out maintenance work, disconnect the cable from the spark plug.
6.1Oil change
Change the oil the first time after 2 hours of operation, and subsequently every 25 hours of operation or at least once a season. Change oil when the engine is warm.
The engine oil is very hot immediately after the engine is shut off. Allow the engine to cool before draining the oil. Risk of burns.
1.Remove the oil filler cap (5, 9:U) and dipstick. The oil is drained by dismantling the plug (7, 10:V).
2.Place a container on the floor for the oil to run into.
3.Install the plug (7, 10:V).
4.Stand the snow thrower up and fill with new oil. See “Before starting”.
Check that the plug is correctly tightened. If it comes loose during operation, the engine will be destroyed.
6.2Spark plug
Before disconnecting the spark plug, clean around its mounting.
Replace the spark plug once a year or every hundred hours of use.
Spark plug: Champion RV 19 LM or equivalent.
Tightening torque:
Electrode distance:
6.3Carburettor
The carburettor is factory set. If adjustment is required, contact an authorised service station.
7 LUBRICATION
Before carrying out maintenance work, disconnect the cable from the spark plug.
SNOW BREEZE:
Lubricate the adjustment lever’s gear and the discharge chute before storing the snow thrower for the summer. Use a clinging type of grease, e.g. Lubriplate.
8 SERVICE AND REPAIRS
8.1Adjusting cable (Breeze)
The auger drive lever’s cable is adjusted at the factory. Any adjustment is carried out as follows:
1.Unhook the cable at the auger drive lever (5:M).
2.Remove the casing and disconnect the cable from the appropriate hole in the plate. See figure 12.
3.Reinstall the cable in the new hole as required. Replace the casing, hook the cable onto the auger drive lever.
