9. Start up
m ATTENTION!
Always make sure the device is fully assembled
before commissioning!
m Before starting the engine, check the oil level and
ensure that the engine is in perfect condition.
Cold start - Recoil starter
1. Ensure that fuel valve is (21) in the OPEN position.
2. Move the choke (20) to the FULL position.
3. Squeeze the aspirator two or thee times. If the
temperature is below -25°C, additional ventilation
may be necessary. If the temperature is above
10°C, no ventilation is necessary.
Excessive ventilation can result in too much fuel get-
ting into the cylinder which prevents the engine from
starting. If this does occur, wait a few minutes before
attempting another start and do not press the venti-
lator.
4. Hold the recoil starter (23) and pull the rope slowly
until you feel resistance. Allow the rope to recoil
slowly.
5. Pull the rope quickly and forcefully with a consist-
ent movement. The starter rope must not recoil
quickly.
6. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until the engine starts.
7. If the engine starts, release the recoil starter (23)
and move the choke control slowly to the OFF po-
sition.
Warm start
Follow the steps above, wherein the choke remains in
the OFF position and do not use the aspirator.
The engine needs a few minutes to warm up other-
wise it cannot reach its full power until it reaches nor-
mal operating temperature.
In the event of snow and cold, control and moving
parts may freeze. Do not use too much force when
trying to operate frozen controls. If you experience
difficulties operating a control or part, start the engine
and let it run for a few minutes.
Snowblowing tips
It is easier and more efficient to clear snow immedi-
ately after is has fallen.
The best time to clear snow is early in the morning. At
this time, the snow is normally dry and has not been
exposed to direct sunlight and warm temperatures.
The cleared paths should overlap somewhat to en-
sure all the snow is cleared.

With large areas, start in the middle and clear the
snow to each side so that the snow is not cleared
repeatedly.
In the event of heavy snow, reduce the width of the
snow clearing by ensuring that the paths overlap and
that you move slowly.
The snow should be cleared in the direction of the
wind where possible.
The engine must remain clean and free of snow dur-
ing use. This encourages ventilation and increases
the durability of the engine.
Let the engine run for a few minutes after clearing the
snow so that the moisture on the engine dries and
moving parts do not freeze. Switch on the feed screw/
drive wheel so that the remaining snow is removed
from inside the housing. Turn the ejection shaft so
that it does not freeze. Stop the engine, wait until all
moving parts have come to a standstill and remove
any ice and snow from the snowblower. With the en-
gine switched off, pull the recoil starter (23) several
times so that the recoil starter does not freeze.
10. Cleaning
Attention!
Always shut the engine down and remove the spark
plug connector before carrying out any cleaning work.
We recommend that you clean the device directly af-
ter every use.
Wipe swarf and dust off the machine from time to time
with a cloth.
Clean the device at regular intervals using a damp
cloth and a little soft soap. Do not use any cleaning
products or solvents; they could attack the plastic
parts of the device. Make sure that no water can pen-
etrate the device interior.
11. Transport
Between work areas
1. Set the throttle to slow or into the partial load po-
sition.
2. Push on the steering rod sufficiently so that the
front part of the unit is raised from the ground a
little.
3. Activate the drive clutch without activating the
feed screw clutch.
Freewheel (Fig. 16 + 17)
Use the axle pin in order to use the drive or freewheel.
Unlock a wheel so that the unit can be turned easier
or unlock both wheels for freewheeling.
