5.3 FILL UP THE PETROL TANK
Always use lead-free petrol. Oil-mixed 2-stroke petrol must
not be used.
NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary lead-free petrol is
perishable; do not purchase more petrol than can be used
within thirty days.
Environmental petrol can be used, i.e. alkylate petrol. This
type of petrol has a composition that is less harmful for
people and nature.
Petrol is highly inflammable. Always store fuel in
containers that are made especially for this
purpose.
Store the petrol in a cool, well ventilated place –
not in the house. Store the petrol well out of reach
for children.
Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors, and never
smoke when filling or topping up. Fill with fuel
before starting the engine. Never remove the filler
cap or fill with petrol while the engine is running
or still warm.
Do not fill the petrol tank right to the top. After filling, screw
the filler cap on tightly and wipe up any spilt petrol.
5.4 STARTING THE ENGINE (WITHOUT
ELECTRICAL START), SEE FIG. 1
Do not touch engine components because they are
warm during use and up to 30 minutes after use.
Risk of burn injuries.
Never run the machine indoors. The exhaust
fumes contain carbon monoxide, a very toxic gas.
1. Make sure the driving (N) and auger (O) clutch levers are
disengaged.
2. Open the fuel cock (M).
3. Set the stop switch (S) in position "ON".
4. Turn the choke (L) to closed position.
Note: A warm engine does not need the choke.
5. Press the rubber primer-start (J) 2 or 3 times. Make sure
the hole is covered when pressing the primer-start.
Note: Do not use this function when the engine is warm.
6. Pull on the starter cord (U) until you feel resistance. Start
the engine with a sharp pull.
7. When the engine starts, reset the choke until it is fully
open.
5.5 STARTING THE ENGINE (WITH ELECTRICAL
START) (CRYSTAL), SEE FIG. 1
Do not touch engine components because they are
warm during use and up to 30 minutes after use.
Risk of burn injuries.
Never run the machine indoors. The exhaust
fumes contain carbon monoxide, a very toxic gas.
1. Attach the connecting cable (T) to an earthed extension
lead. Then connect the extension lead to a 220/230 volt
earthed socket.
2. Make sure the driving (N) and auger (O) clutch levers are

for at least 40 minutes before trying to start it again. If the
engine still does not start, take the engine to an
Authorized Service Dealer for service.

Regulate the speed with the gear stick.
3. Snow is more effectively removed directly after falling.
4. Always throw the snow in the direction of the wind if
