Cleaning; Transport; Storage; Maintenance - Scheppach 59081039974 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Let the engine run for a few minutes after clearing the
snow so that the moisture on the engine dries and
moving parts do not freeze. Switch on the feed screw/
drive wheel so that the remaining snow is removed
from inside the housing. Turn the ejection shaft so
that it does not freeze. Stop the engine, wait until all
moving parts have come to a standstill and remove
any ice and snow from the snowblower. With the en-
gine switched off, pull the recoil starter handle several
times so that the recoil starter does not freeze.

10. Cleaning

Attention!
Always shut the engine down and remove the spark
plug connector before carrying out any cleaning work.
We recommend that you clean the device directly af-
ter every use.
Wipe swarf and dust off the machine from time to time
with a cloth.
Clean the device at regular intervals using a damp
cloth and a little soft soap. Do not use any cleaning
products or solvents; they could attack the plastic
parts of the device. Make sure that no water can pen-
etrate the device interior.

11. Transport

Between work areas
1. Set the throttle to slow or into the partial load po-
sition.
2. Push on the steering rod sufficiently so that the
front part of the unit is raised from the ground a
little.
3. Activate the drive clutch without activating the
feed screw clutch.
Freewheel (Fig. 17 + 18)
Use the axle pin in order to use the drive or freewheel.
Unlock a wheel so that the unit can be turned easier
or unlock both wheels for freewheeling.
In order to unlock a wheel, slide it inwards and in-
sert the axle pin through the outer axle hole but not
through the wheel hub.
In order to block a wheel, slide it outwards and insert
the axle pin through the hole in the wheel hub and the
outer axle hole.
m Always switch the engine off, remove the key and
close the fuel valve when transporting the unit on a
truck or trailer. Do not transport the machine while the
engine is running.
Take special care when loading or unloading the unit
onto or from a trailer or truck.
Fasten the unit chassis onto the transport vehicle.
Never fasten the unit to rods or bars which could be
damaged.

12. Storage

At the end of the season or when the snowblower will
no longer be used for the next 30 days, comply with
the storage instructions.
1. Allow the engine to run with the fuel valve closed
until the fuel lines and the carburettor are empty
and it stops due to a lack of fuel.
2. Remove the safety ignition key and let the engine
cool down.
3. Lubricate the machine as instructed. (see lubrica-
tion).
4. Clean the engine and the outside of the snow-
blower thoroughly.
5. Repair all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; grind
the effected areas before applying paint and a
corrosion protection agent in order to protect the
metallic parts from rust.
6. Tighten all loose screws, pins and locknuts. Clean
or replace all damaged parts.
7. Cover the snowblower and store it in a clean, dry
place that children cannot access.
