Safety instructions

2. Work particularly carefully when operating

the appliance on gravel drives, paths or

roads, or when crossing such. Always pay at-

tention to hidden obstacles or road traffic.

3. Should you collide with a foreign object,

switch off the engine, remove the spark plug

cable connector, inspect the snow blower

carefully for damage and repair the damage

before starting the engine and operating the

snow blower again.

4. If the appliance vibrates abnormally, switch

off the engine and immediately locate the

cause. Vibrations are generally a sign that

there is a problem.

5. Always switch off the engine when you stop

work, before cleaning the header/drive wheel

casing or the discharge chute, and when car-

rying out repairs, settings or inspections.

6. Before carrying out cleaning, repairs or in-

spections, always ensure that the header/

drive wheel and all moving parts are at a

standstill. Disconnect the spark plug cable

and keep it away from the spark plug to avoid

accidental ignition. In the case of electric mo-

tors, disconnect the mains plug.

7. Never operate the engine in closed rooms

except when starting or when moving the

snow blower into or out of a building. Keep

the doors open when doing so; exhaust gas-

es are toxic.

8. Do not use the appliance on slopes. Be very

careful when turning on sloping ground. Do

not try to clear steep slopes.

9. Never operate the snow blower without the

proper guards, safety plates or other protec-

tive equipment.

10. Never use the snow blower in the vicinity of

windows, motor vehicles, light wells, sloping

ground, etc. without adjusting the snow dis-

charge direction accordingly. Keep children

and pets away from the working area.

11. Do not overload the machine by trying to

clear snow too fast.

12. Never use the machine at high transport

speeds on slippery ground. Take care when

working backwards.

13. Never direct the snow discharge towards by-

standers and do not allow persons to walk in

front of the appliance.

14. Disconnect the power supply to the header/

drive wheel when the snow blower is being

transported or is not in use.

15. Use only attachments and accessories ap-

proved by the manufacturer of the snow

blower, e.g. balancing weights, counter-

weights, casings, etc.

16. Never operate the snow blower in poor visi-

bility or with poor lighting. Always ensure a

secure footing and hold the handles firmly.

Only walk and never run when operating the

appliance.

Maintenance and storage

WARNING! Serious hand injuries when

cleaning the blocked discharge channel!

Touching the rotating paddle wheel in the dis-

charge channel results in serious hand injuries.

These are the most common injuries on the snow

blower. To clean the discharge channel:

■

Switch off the snow blower!

■

Wait around 10 s until the paddle wheel

stops.

■

Always use a suitable tool to clean the dis-

charge channel.

■

Never use your hands to clean the discharge

channel!

1. Check regularly that the guards, the knife

bolts, the engine mounting bolts, etc. are se-

curely tightened in order to ensure safe oper-

ation of the appliance.

2. Never store the appliance in a building where

there are sources of ignition, such as water

heaters, electric fan heaters, clothes dryers,

etc., as long as there is petrol in the tank. Al-

low the engine to cool down before storing

the appliance in a closed room.

3. Always observe the precise instructions in

the operating instructions if the snow blower

is to be placed into storage for a prolonged

period.

4. Leave all safety and operating instruction

signs on the appliance, and renew them, if

necessary.

5. Allow the appliance to run for a few minutes

after finishing snow clearing to prevent freez-

ing of the header/drive wheel.
