6.1 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
6.2 OIL CHANGE
Change the oil the first time after 2 hours of operation, and
subsequently every 20 hours of operation or once a season.
Change oil when the engine is warm.
The engine oil may be very warm if it is drained off
directly after the engine is shut off. So allow the
engine to cool a few minutes before draining the
oil.
1. Lean the snow thrower slightly so that the oil draining
plug (1:Q) is the lowest point of the engine.
2. Unscrew the oil draining plug.
3. Let the oil run out into a container.
4. Screw back the oil draining plug.
5. Fill with new oil: See ”“checking the engine oil level
(FIG. 11)” på sidan 47” above for type and amount.

Check the spark plug once a year or every hundred hours of
use.
Clean or change the plug if the electrodes are burnt. The
engine manufacturer recommends: LD F7TC or equivalent.
Correct spark gap: 0.7-0.8 mm.
6.4 CARBURETTOR
The carburettor is factory set. If adjustment is required,
contact an authorised service station.
