Instruction manual
Installing the chute assembly.
∙ Put the spring pad to the opening of the chute seat
as shown [F5].
∙ Put the discharge chute (5) on the chute seat, and
fix it by left and right plastic fixing plates [F6]. Then settle
it with two screws.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK
WARNING! Before using your
machine for the first time, be sure that
it is properly assembled. Check that
all parts are properly attached and
undamaged. If you are unsure about
the assembly or condition of any of
your machine parts, please call the
customer service. Check that all parts
are attached and undamaged. Check
that all fasteners are tight.
Before each use of your machine:
∙
Check engine oil level with the machine on level
ground, by inspecting the dipstick of the oil cap. If
necessary, fill in with suitable oil. The engine can be
seriously damaged without oil!
∙
Make sure there is enough gasoline in the fuel tank.
If necessary, add clean, fresh unleaded gasoline. Refuel
only outdoors. Take care not to spill fuel out. Make sure
to wipe off any spilled fuel before starting the engine.
∙
Keep the area of operation free from foreign objects
that can be thrown by the auger (8) or impeller blades.
Perform a thorough inspection of the area since some
objects may be hidden from view by surrounding snow.
∙
Before each use of your machine, check the wheel
pressure. Over-inflating could cause a wheel to burst
and cause severe bodily injury. The pressure can be
checked using an ordinary wheel pressure gauge.
Fill the wheels using a portable air compressor or
other compressed air source.
CAUTION! DO NOT OVER-INFLATE
THE WHEELS.
STARTING THE ENGINE
∙ Insert the spark plug cap onto the spark plug.
∙ Make certain both the auger control (3) and drive
control (1) are in the disengaged (released) position.
∙ Move throttle control up to FAST position ( ).
∙ Insert ignition key into slot (if provided). Make sure
it snaps into place. DO NOT attept to turn the key.
∙ Rotate the choke control to FULL choke position
(cold engine start). NOTE: If the engine is already warm,
place the choke control in the OFF position instead of
FULL.
∙ Push the primer two or three times for cold engine
start. Additional priming maybe necessary if the
temperature is below -10°C. NOTE: DO NOT use primer
to restart a warm engine after a short shutdown.
∙ Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull the
rope out. At the point where it becomes slightly harder to
pull the rope, slowly allow the rope to recoil.
∙ Pull the starter handle with a firm, rapid stroke. Do
not release the handle and allow it to snap back slowly.
∙ As the engine warms, slowly rotate the choke
control to the OFF position.
∙ Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes after
starting. The engine will not develop full power until
reaching operating temperatures.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
When you finish using your machine, perform the
following steps to shut it down:
∙ Stop the auger (8) by releasing the auger control (3).
∙ Run the engine for a few minutes to help dry off any
moisture on the engine.
∙ Place the throttle lever to ‘OFF position’ ( )
∙ Remove the ignition key (if provided).
∙ Remove the snow from all the machine surfaces
and store the machine in a safe place.
WARNING! Never store your machine
for extended periods of time with fuel
in the tank. Fuel stabilizer can be
added to the fuel to extend its shelf
life for storage.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Snow discharge direction
CAUTION! Never direct the snow
discharge chute (5) at the operator,
bystanders, vehicles or nearby windows.
The discharged snow and foreign
objects accidentally picked up by the
machine can cause serious damage
and severe bodily injury. Always point
the discharge chute (5) in the opposite
direction from potential hazards.
∙ The discharge chute (5) can be adjusted by moving
the handle of chute directional control (4) right or left.
