Cleaning and other inspection areas
• Use the cleaning tool (9) to remove snow or ice clogged in the chute or around the feed screw, when
necessary.
Never use your hands!
• Inspect regularly to make sure that all bolts, nuts and screws are tight and that there is no visible damage.
• The augur blades and skid shoes will become worn with time and should be replaced. Use only original
parts or parts approved by the retailer.
• Regularly check the fuel system for any visible signs of leakage at the tank, fuel cap or fuel lines.
• Never attempt to tamper with or modify the product in any way.

Changing oil
Note:
Check the oil level every time the snow blower is used.
1. Empty the fuel tank when the engine is cold. Do the work outside and collect the fuel in an appropriate
container. If the fuel is not to be reused, deposit it at the most appropriate recycling centre. The blower must
be tipped backwards to remove all oil and there is a risk for fuel spillage if the tank is full.
2. Place an appropriate container to collect the oil from the drain plug (23).
3. Unscrew the plug, tip the blower backwards and empty of all oil.
4. Screw the plug back on. Refill with oil as described in chapter
Oil level checks and refills
.
Spark plug
Note:
Let the engine cool before unscrewing and removing the spark plug. Both the spark plug and muffler
become very hot after use. Check the spark plug before every season. Change when necessary.
1. Remove the cotter pin at the screw end of the chute control directional
crank (refer to the image shown in
Mounting the chute directional crank
)
and push the crank back for easier access.
2. Remove the spark plug cable from the spark plug. Do not pull the cable
but rather grip the spark plug cap and wiggle it back and forth to
loosen it.
3. Use a spark plug spanner to remove it from its socket.
4. Check the electrodes for any visible damage and clean with a steel
brush when necessary.
5. Make sure that the electrode gap is between 0.6–0.8 mm. Special tools
for gapping are available for purchase seperately.
6. Try to screw the spark plug partway in by hand to make sure
the threads catch correctly. Tighten using a spark plug spanner.
7. Washers on the new spark plug must be compressed during
installation. Tighten a ½ turn extra after the spark plug is securely in
place to compress the washer and create a proper seal.
8. Turn a ¼ turn extra if you are using the existing spark plug.
Handy hint:
Thread a small piece of PVC hose over the spark plug tip to
make it easier to insert and thread into the socket.
