Starting the engine
Open throttle to maximum, slacken the tickler at
the bottom of the carburetor until petrol runs out.
Retighten tickler.
If starting from cold, push choke lever to „Choke“,
to increase mix richness.
Gently pull the starter chord until you feel
resistance, and then pull strongly to start the
engine.
Note!
Do not allow the chord to recoil freely as the
handle may become damaged upon impact with
the machine.
Allow engine to warm up and then push choke
lever to „Run“, gradually if necessary. Check that
the engine is running smoothly. Engine speed can
be adjusted using the throttle lever.
Do not strain the engine the first few times it is
used.
Snow clearing
Start the engine and allow to warm up.
Select gear speed before activating the clutch
handles. Select R1/R2 for slow or fast reversing
and gears 1-5 for forward drive at varying speeds.
Press and hold blade clutch handle down. The
blade and impeller will rotate.
Press drive clutch handle. The machine will begin
to move and blade clutch will lock.
To change speed while machine is running, release
both clutch handles before moving the gear stick.
When snow clearing is finished, allow the engine to
run for a few minutes more to dry its surfaces.
Stopping the engine
Reduce engine speed to minimum using the
throttle lever. Close the throttle using the lever
and set on/off switch to OFF. The engine will stop
immediately.
Blockages
Stop engine immediately in the following
instances:
-
If a stone, piece of rope or other object gets
caught in the blade cylinder or impeller.
-
If the machine begins to vibrate very heavily.
-
If the machine gets stuck, e.g. due to slush.
Remove spark plug cover and investigate the
cause. Use a wooden stick to remove packed snow.
If the machine is damaged, discontinue use until
it is repaired.
Testing blade clutch cable
Release blade clutch handle. The cable should be
taut but not tight. Press the clutch handle. It
should be able to be fully depressed. If not, the
cable is too tight and must be slackened.
Testing drive clutch cable

Push the machine forward, engage gear R2 and
then return to 5th gear. If you feel resistance when
pushing the machine and changing gear, the cable
