Start-up
NOTE Always perform a visual check prior
to start-up. Do not operate the equipment if the
operating and/or fastening parts are loose, dam-
aged, or worn.
6.1
Operating material
DANGER! Risk of explosion and fire. An
escaping petrol/air mixture can cause an explo-
sive atmosphere. Deflagation, explosion and fire
can lead to serious and even fatal injuries if fuel
is not handled properly.
■
Do not smoke when dealing with petrol.
■
Only handle petrol out of doors and never in
enclosed spaces.
DANGER! Risk of poisoning. The engine
exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide that can
kill a person within a few minutes.
■
Operate the engine only outdoors, never in a
closed room.
■
Do not inhale the engine exhaust gases.
■
Switch off the engine if you feel nauseous,
dizzy or weak during use. Immediately con-
sult a doctor.
NOTE Dispose of used engine oil in an envi-
ronmentally responsible manner! We recommend
disposing of waste oil in a closed container at a
recycling centre or customer service centre. Do
not dispose of waste oil:
■
In domestic waste
■
In sewers or drains
■
In the ground
NOTE Observe the enclosed operating in-
structions for the engine!
Before starting operation, the engine must be
filled with oil and the snow blower filled with pet-
rol.
For information on petrol and engine oil: see
technical data.

Filling with petrol (26)
1. Unscrew the tank cap (26/2) and put it down
in a clean place.
2. Pour in petrol through a funnel.
3. Securely tighten the fuel filler cap and clean
the tank filler neck.
6.4
Checking the tyre pressure [700.4 E LED
only] (27)
1. Check the tyre pressure particularly before
using for the first time in the winter and at
least every three months during the season.
The maximum permissible tyre pressure is in-
dicated on the tyres (27/1).
Note: Note: 1 bar = approx. 14.5 psi
2. Inflate the tyres uniformly using a tyre pump.
6.5
Adjusting the clearing height (28 - 30)
CAUTION! Risk of injury. Risk of cuts
when reaching into the running transport auger.
■
Adjust the clearing height only with the en-
gine switched off and the transport auger at
standstill.
Adjust the clearing height so that no gravel or
other foreign matter can be picked up. Give con-
sideration to very uneven ground, for example
tyre tracks, and to manhole covers or paving
stones.
1. Park the appliance on level ground for adjust-
ment.
2. Unfasten the clamping screws (28/1) of the
skids (28/2) on the left and right of the plough
(28/3).
3. Push the skids up or down (28/a) to raise the
clearing plate (29/1) to the desired height.
4. Tighten the clamping screws of the skids.
5. Ensure that both skids are at the same height
so that the clearing plate runs parallel to the
ground (29/a).
Skids worn (30)
If the wear edge (30/1) of the skids is worn down,
turn it 180° to use the second side.
1. Unscrew the nuts (30/2) including the wash-
ers.
2. Remove the metal plate (30/3).
3. Turn the skid by 180° (30/a).
4. Fit washers and tighten nuts.
Note: Be careful not to swap the clamping
screws (30/4) because they are of different
lengths.
