Muffler

The muffler keeps the noise levels to a minimum and

sends the exhaust fumes away from the operator.
Do not use the product if the muffler is missing or

defective. A defective muffler increases the noise level

and the risk of fire.
Examine the muffler regularly to make sure that it is

attached correctly and not damaged.

CAUTION The muffler becomes very hot

during and after use and when the engine

operates at idle speed. Be careful near

flammable materials and/or fumes to prevent

fire.

To examine the spark plug

CAUTION Always use the recommended

spark plug type. Incorrect spark plug type

can cause damage to the product.

• Examine the spark plug if the engine is low on

power, is not easy to start or does not operate

correctly at idle speed.

• To decrease the risk of unwanted material on the

spark plug electrodes, obey these instructions:
a) Make sure that the idle speed is correctly

adjusted.

b) Make sure that the fuel mixture is correct.
c) Make sure that the air filter is clean.

• If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and make sure that

the electrode gap is correct, see 

Technical data on

page 24

.

• Replace the spark plug if it is necessary.

To inspect the augers and the

scraper bar

1. Before each use, inspect the augers and the scraper

bar for wear.

2. If the edge of the scraper bar is worn, reverse the

scraper bar. If the scraper bar has damages or is

worn on both edges, replace it.

3. If the edges of the augers are worn, contact an

authorized service center to replace them.

To replace the auger shear pins

The auger shear pins protect the product from damage.

The auger shear pins break if an object comes into the

moving parts.

CAUTION Use only original equipment

shear pins supplied with the product.

1. If an auger shear pin breaks, stop the engine and

wait for the moving parts to stop.

2. Remove the ON/OFF key and disconnect the spark

plug cable.

3. Align the hole in the auger hub (B) with the hole in

the auger shaft (C) and install a new ¼ - 20 x 2

shear pin (A)
