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

DRIVING TIPS
The silencer and surrounding parts become very
hot when the engine is running. Risk of burns.
1. Always run the engine on full throttle or next best.
2. Always adapt the speed to the snowy conditions.
Regulate the speed with the gear stick.
3. Snow is more effectively removed directly after falling.
4. Always throw the snow in the direction of the wind if
possible.
5. Adjust the shoes with the screws (1:H) 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 the chute clearing tool supplied.
5.10 AFTER USE
1. Check for loose or damaged parts. If required, change
damaged parts.
2. Tighten loose screws and nuts.
3. Brush all the snow from the machine.
4. Move all the controls backwards and forwards a few
times.
5. Put the choke in closed position.
6. Disconnect the starting cable from the spark plug.
Do not cover the machine while the engine and
silencer are still warm.
6 MAINTENANCE
6.1
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
6.2
OIL CHANGE
Change the oil the first time after 2 hours of operation, and
subsequently every 20 hours of operation or once a season.
Change oil when the engine is warm.
The engine oil may be very warm if it is drained off
directly after the engine is shut off. So allow the
engine to cool a few minutes before draining the
oil.
1. Lean the snow thrower slightly so that the oil draining
plug (1:Q) is the lowest point of the engine.
2. Unscrew the oil draining plug.
3. Let the oil run out into a container.
4. Screw back the oil draining plug.
5. Fill with new oil: See ”5.2” above for type and amount.
6.3
SPARK PLUG
Check the spark plug once a year or every hundred hours of
use.
Clean or change the plug if the electrodes are burnt. The
engine manufacturer recommends: LD F7TC or equivalent.
Correct spark gap: 0.7-0.8 mm.
6.4
CARBURETTOR
The carburettor is factory set. If adjustment is required,
contact an authorised service station.
6.5
TYRE PRESSURE
The air pressure should be equal in both tires for best
performance. Be sure to keep caps on valves to prevent entry
of debris into the valve stem when tires are filled.
Recommended air pressure: 1.2 bar.
6.6
LUBRICATION
No service must be carried out before:
- The engine has stopped.
- The cable has been disconnected from the spark
plug.
6.6.1 Linkages
See fig. 12. Lubricate the linkages below every 10th hour of
use and before long time storage. Use 10W oil.
• Lever bearings
• Drive belt tension arm
• Auger belt tension arm
