3. GETTING TO KNOW THE MACHINE

3.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
AND PLANNED USE

The machine is equipped with a clearance auger,
protecting by a guard, that sends the snow to
discharge chute. The auger is moved by the

the dashboard.
The operator can run the machine and activate all
the main controls while staying upright in the
operator's position, behind the machine.

remove and clear away snow from pavements,

Any other usage not in keeping with the above-
mentioned ones may be hazardous and harm

level, such as roofs on houses, garages,
porticoes or other structures or buildings.
