4 CONTROLS
The snow thrower is fitted with the following controls and
devices.
Starting handle (1:A) – Starts and stops the electric motor.
Ignition lock (1:K) – Facilitates activation of the starting
handle.
Connector (1:J) – For electrical connection.
Cable support (1:B) – For supporting the connection cable.
Deflector lock (1:E) – Locks the deflector in position.
Direction lever (1:F)– Changes the direction of the dis-
charge chute.
Discharge chute (1:H) – Ejects the snow.
Deflector (1:I) – Determines the distance the snow is
thrown.

5 USING THE MACHINE

5.1 GENERAL
Never start the engine until all the above measures under
'ASSEMBLY' have been carried out.
Never use the snow thrower without first reading
and understanding the enclosed instructions and
all the warning and instruction stickers on the
snow thrower and in these instructions.
Always wear protective goggles or a visor during
use, maintenance and service.
5.2

BEFORE STARTING

The connection cable and its plugs must be fault
free and approved for outdoor use.
The connection cable may only be connected to
power sockets equipped with an earth leakage cir-
cuit breaker with a trip current of max. 30 mA.
The connection cable must be suspended on the ca-
ble support. Otherwise there is a risk of damage
alongside the plug which is potentially life-threat-
ening.
Connect the snow thrower with the electric cable from the
property's power socket.
Suspend the cable on the cable support (1, 9:B) and connect
to the connector (1, 9:J).

ENGLISH
5.3 START
Start the motor and the auger as described below.
1. Lean the snow thrower back slightly so that the auger is
raised a little above the ground.
2. Press in and hold the button (1:K) . Squeeze the handle
(1:A).
3. Release the ignition lock, lower the auger towards the
ground and start to clear the snow.
5.4 STOP
Stop the motor and the auger by releasing the
starting handle (1:A).
5.5 SNOW CLEARANCE
See fig. 1.
Never aim the snow at bystanders.
Always stop the engine before unclogging.
Always wear eye protection when operating the
snow thrower.
If the auger is blocked, never try to keep the motor
engaged for more than 20 seconds. Extensive en-
gagement will damage the motor.
1. Start the motor as described above and check the ejection
distance and direction.
2. If necessary, stop the motor and adjust the deflector (1:I).
Upwards gives a longer throwing distance and down-
wards gives a shorter throwing distance. Lock the deflec-
tor in position using the knob (1:E).
3. If necessary, stop the motor and adjust the discharge
chute (1:H) with the lever (1:F) so that the snow is ejected
in the desired direction.
4. Stop working by releasing the starting handle (1:A).
5. Any unclogging can easily be carried out with the chute
clearing tool (1:G) after the engine has stopped.
The snow thrower is propelled automatically with the aid of
the auger. To facilitate propulsion, raise the handlebar a little.
Do not push the snow thrower.

Operating tips

1. Clear away the snow immediately after snowfall.
2. For complete snow clearance, slightly overlap each
clearance pass.
3. If possible, discharge the snow downwind.
4. In strong wind, lower the deflector to direct the
discharged snow close to the ground, where it is less
likely to blow into unwanted areas.
5. For safety and to prevent damage to the snow thrower,
keep the area to be cleared free of stones, toys and other
foreign objects.
6. The snow thrower's capacity depends on the depth and
density of the snow. Learn how the snow thrower works
in different snow conditions.
5.6.1 Dry and normal snow
Snow up to 20 cm deep can be removed quickly and easily
by clearing at an even speed. Plan for downwind discharge of
the snow.
