Safety checks
Note:
Check that the feed screws are in proper order the first time you use the snow blower and also before every
new season. There must be some amount of free play in drive control wire (6).
1. Start the snow blower and squeeze the drive control handle. Let the feed screws run for about 10 sec.
Repeat this procedure several times.
2. Release the drive control and inspect the feed screws from the front. Make sure that the feed screws are
completely still
and show no tendency of rotating.
3. If the feed screws are rotating or show a tendency to rotate while the control handle is disengaged, turn off
the engine and adjust the wire tension.
Skid shoe adjustment
•
Normal use:
Adjust the skid shoes to about ½ to 1 cm below the shave blade.
•
Hard packed snow:
Adjust the skid shoes slightly
higher
(in order to lower the shave blade).
•
Gravel or uneven surfaces:
Adjust the skid shoes
lower
(in order to raise the shave blade).
Operation
1. Plan the area of operation and where the snow is to be removed before starting.
2. Start the engine and set the throttle to full.
3. Let the engine warm up for a few minutes to reach full power before beginning snow removal.
4. Set the shift lever to an appropriate gear for the existing conditions. Second gear in the drive position is
meant for normal conditions appropriate for most snow removal situations.
5. Use the switch to turn on the headlight when necessary (5).
6. Squeeze the drive feed screw control (6) to begin snow removal.
7. Squeeze the drive control handle (2) to start it into drive.
Note:
Never move the shift lever while the snow blower is in motion and always release the drive handle
when changing gears.
8.
Completing work:
Let the engine idle a few minutes before stopping it. Let the snow blower and feed
screw stand still in order to let most of the moisture and snow dry off.
9. With the engine still running, pull the starter cable 3–4 times to prevent it from freezing in position.
A puttering noise will be heard. This is normal and it will in no way damage the machine or the starter motor.
Turning off the engine
1. Pull the throttle back completely.
2. Remove the ignition key.
3. Carefully clean the entire snow machine and move the controls back and forth to prevent them freezing
into postion.
Care and maintenance
Note:
Turn off the engine, remove the ignition key and remove the spark plug cable from the spark plug before
servicing, cleaning or maintenance.
Lubrication
• Regularly lubricate the shift lever and other moving parts with a few drops of motor oil and/or spray
(e.g. 5–56, WD 40). Do not over-lubricate!
• Use a type of universal grease suitable for cars and machinery on the screw end of the chute
directional crank. Do not over-lubricate!
