Instruction manual
∙ Start your clearing path by throwing snow in a back
and forth motion. To clear in the opposite direction,
stop your machine and pivot it on its wheels to face the
opposite direction. Make sure to overlap clearing paths.
∙ If the machine hits an obstruction or picks up a
foreign object during use, stop the motor, remove the
obstruction, and inspect it for damage. Repair or replace
any damaged parts before restarting and operating with
machine.
∙ Determine the direction of the wind. If possible,
move in the same direction as the wind so that the snow
is not thrown against the wind, back into your face and
on the just cleared path.
∙ Do not walk in front of your running machine.
∙ Do not direct discharged snow towards bystanders.
∙ Do not apply additional man-made load to the
engine since this may damage the engine.
CAUTION! Do not use your hands to
unclog the machine.
NOTE: some parts of your machine may freeze under
extreme temperature conditions. Do not attempt to
operate your machine with frozen parts. If the parts
freeze while your machine is in use, stop your machine
and inspect the frozen parts. Thaw all parts before
restarting and operating your machine. Never force
parts or controls that have frozen. Never use an open
flame of any sort to thaw frozen parts.
Operation on pebbles, gravel or unpaved surfaces
To avoid throwing loose surface material along with the
snow, push down on the handle to raise the scraper at
the base of the unit above the pebbles or gravel.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
CAUTION! Before carrying out any
maintenance operation, turn off
the engine and wait until it stops
completely.
∙ Always keep the tool and the ventilation slots (if
present) cleaned. Regular cleaning and maintenance of
the appliance will ensure efficiency and prolong the life
of your tool.
∙ If the tool should fail despite the rigorous
manufacturing and testing procedures, the repair should
be carried out by an authorized IVT customer service.
∙ Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight, to be sure the
tool is in safe working condition.
∙ Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
∙ Use only original spare parts. Parts not produced
by manufacturer may cause poor fit and possible injury.
∙ Store the tool in a dry room out of reach of kids and
away from any flammable material.
∙ Store all fuel tanks securely. Never store the
equipment with fuel in the tank inside a building, where
fumes can reach an open flame or sparks.
IMPORTANT! Keep all grease and oil off of the
rubber friction wheel and aluminum drive plate.
∙ The augers (8) are secured to the spiral shaft with
two shear pins and cotter pins. If the auger (8) should
strike a foreign object or ice jam, the pins may shear.
If the augers will not turn, check to see if the pins have
sheared. At least once a season, remove the shear pins
on the auger shaft. Spray lubricant inside the auger shaft
and lubricate the plastic auger bearings at least once a
season.
∙ Every season lubricate the auger bearings and the
bearings on the side of the frame with light oil.
∙ Gear shaft: Lubricate at least once a season or
after 25 hours of operation. Remove the rear cover,
lubricate any chains, sprockets, gears, bearings, shafts,
and shifting mechanism at least once a season. For
lubrication, apply a light coating of all-weather multi-
purpose grease.
∙ The cams on the ends of the control rods which
interlock the drive control (1) and auger control (3)
accessed beneath the handle panel. Use a multi-purpose
automotive grease.
∙ The gear case is lubricated with grease at the factory
and it does not require checking. If disassembled for
any reason, lubricated with 60ml of grease. Before re-
assembling, remove old sealant and apply new sealant.
IMPORTANT! Do not overfill the gear case, since
damage to the seals could result. Be sure the vent plug is
free of grease in order to relieve pressure.
∙ Before operating, check the tire pressure (you can
also refer to the specifications printed on the tyre). If the
tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the unit may pull
to one side or the other. At least once a season, remove
both wheels. Clean and coat the axles with a multipurpose
automotive grease before reinstalling wheels.
∙ Once a season, the joystick of Chute Directional
Control (4) should be lubricated with petroleum jelly,
Linseed oil, mineral oil, paraffin wax or 3-in1 oil.
∙ Check oil level before each use and every five
operating hours. After the first two operating hours and
every 25 operating hours thereafter, the engine oil must
be changed with a fresh one. Run the engine a few
minutes to warm the oil before draining. Engine should
still be warm but not hot from recent use. Warm oil flows
better and carries more contaminants.
∙ Check the spark plug yearly or every 100 operating
hours. Replace a cracked, fouled or dirty spark plug.
