5.5 SAFETY TEST
This machine is equipped with several mechanical safety
systems, designed to keep the operator safe while using the
unit.
After starting and before use of the machine, it is essential
to perform the safety test below.
If the unit fails to operate as described, DO NOT operate it.
In this case, contact an authorised workshop for repair.
Auger test
1. The engine shall be running.
2. Pull up the auger lever and the auger shall rotate.
3. Release the auger lever and the auger shall stop within 5
seconds.
5.6 STOPPING
1. Release the clutch handle (1:D). Note: If the auger con-
tinues rotating - see 7.1 below.
2. Set the ignition key (1:A) to the "OFF" position.
5.7

OPERATION

1. Start the engine as above. Let the engine run a few min-
utes to warm before use.
2. Set the chute deflector.
3. Adjust the discharge chute so that the snow is ejected in
the direction in which the wind is blowing.
4. Activate the auger by pulling up the clutch lever.
Watch out for the rotating auger. Keep hands, feet,
hair and loose clothing away from any moving
parts on the machine.
5. Slide the snow thrower forward and eject the snow.
5.8 DRIVING TIPS
The silencer and surrounding parts become very
hot when the engine is running. Risk of burns.
1. Always adapt the speed to the snowy conditions.
2. Snow is more effectively removed directly after falling.
3. Always throw the snow in the direction of the wind if
possible.
4. Adapt the speed so that the snow is thrown in an even
stream.
If snow fastens in the chute do not try to remove it
before:
- Stopping the engine.
- Disconnecting the cable from the spark plug.
- Do not put your hand inside the chute or auger.
5.9 AFTER USE
1. Check for loose or damaged parts. If required, change
damaged parts.
2. Tighten loose screws and nuts.
3. Brush all the snow from the machine.
4. Move all the controls backwards and forwards a few
times.
5. Put the choke in closed position.
6. Disconnect the starting cable from the spark plug. See
4.11.
Do not cover the machine while the engine and
silencer are still warm.
ENGLISH
No service must be carried out before:
- The engine has stopped.
- The cable has been disconnected from the spark
plug.
6.1 OIL CHANGE
Change the oil the first time after 2 hours of operation, and
subsequently every 20 hours of operation or once a season.
Change oil when the engine is warm.
The engine oil may be very warm if it is drained off
directly after the engine is shut off. So allow the
engine to cool a few minutes before draining the
oil.
1. Lean the snow thrower slightly so that the oil draining
plug (1:Q) is the lowest point of the engine.
2. Unscrew the oil draining plug.
3. Let the oil run out into a container.
4. Screw back the oil draining plug.
5. ill with new oil: Use synthetic oil 0W30
6. Check the oil level. See 5.2.
6.2 SPARK PLUG
Check the spark plug once a year or every hundred hours of
use.
Clean or change the plug if the electrodes are burnt. The
engine manufacturer recommends: Champion QC12YC or
equivalent.
Correct spark gap: 0.7-0.8 mm.
6.3 CARBURETTOR
The carburettor is factory set. If adjustment is required,
contact an authorised service station.
No service must be carried out before:
- The engine has stopped.
- The starting cable has been disconnected from
the spark plug.
Empty the petrol tank outdoors when the engine is
cold. Do not smoke. Empty into a container
designed for petrol.
7.1 ADJUSTING THE CONTROL WIRE
In order for the power to be transmitted from the engine to
the auger the clutch control cable must be correctly adjusted.
The cable is adjusted where it is secured at the spring on the
control. See fig. 4. Adjust as follows:
1. Disconnect the ignition cable from the spark plug.
2. Slide up the protective plate over the cable connection.
3. Insert the cable in a hole as far up as possible without ex-
tending the spring.
4. Check that the spring has not been extended.
5. Reinsert the protective plate over the cable connection.
