Never use the snow thrower without first reading 
and understanding the instructions and all the 
warning and instruction stickers on the machine. 
Always use protective goggles or a visor during 
use, maintenance and service.
5.2 BEFORE STARTING
Fill the engine with oil before using. 
Do not start the engine until filled with oil. The 
engine can be seriously damaged without oil.
1.  Place the machine on a level floor.
2.  Loosen the oil filler plug (F) and fill with oil to the under-
side of the oil filler  hole (fig. 8)
3.  Use oil SAE 5W30-10W40 in accordance with A.P.I 
service “SF“, “SG“ or “SH“. 
4.  The crankcase holds: 0.6 litres.
5. Reinstall the oil filler plug (F).
Always check the oil level before using. The snow thrower 
must stand on level ground when checking.
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, 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 (6) and auger (7) clutch levers are 
disengaged.
2. Open the fuel cock (3).
3.  Set the stop switch (13) in position “1”.
4.  Turn the choke (3) to position  . Note: A warm engine 
does not need the choke. 
5.  Pull on the starter cord until you feel resistance. Start the 
engine with a sharp pull.
6.  When the engine starts, reset the choke until it is fully 
open.
5.5 STOPPING

5.7 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. 
Regulate the speed with the gear stick.
2.  Snow is more effectively removed directly after falling.
3.  Always throw the snow in the direction of the wind if 
possible.
4.  Adjust the shoes with the screws (11 in fig. 1) to suit the 
ground conditions: 
- On flat ground, e.g. asphalt, the shoes should be about  
3mm under the scraping blade.
- On uneven ground, e.g. gravel paths, the shoes should 
be about  30mm under the scraping blade. 
						

							45
 ENGLISHEN
Always adjust the shoes so that gravel and stones 
are not fed into the snow thrower. There is a risk 
for personal injury if these are thrown out at high 
speed. 
Ensure the shoes are adjusted the same on both sides.
5. 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: 
- Releasing both clutch levers. 
- Stopping the engine. 
- Disconnecting the cable from the spark plug. 
- Do not put your hand inside the chute or auger. 
 Use the chute clearing tool supplied.
5.8 AFTER USE

6.  Disconnect the starting cable from the spark plug.
Do not cover the machine while the engine and 
silencer are still warm.
6 MAINTENANCE
6.1 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
6.2 OIL CHANGE
Change the oil the first time after 2 hours of operation, and 
subsequently every 50 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 (14 in fig. 1) 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.  Fill with new oil: See BEFORE STARTING above for 
type and amount. 
6.3 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: LD F5TC or equivalent.
Correct spark gap: 0.7-0.8 mm.
6.4 CARBURETTOR
The carburettor is factory set. If adjustment is required, 
contact an authorised service station. 
6.5 TYRE PRESSURE
The air pressure should be equal in both tires for best 
performance. Be sure to keep caps on valves to prevent entry 
of debris into the valve stem when tires are filled. 
Recommended air pressure: 1.2 bar.
6.6 LUBRICATION
No service must be carried out before: 
- The engine has stopped. 
- The cable has been disconnected from the spark 
plug.
6.6.1 Linkages
See fig. 9. Lubricate the linkages below every 10:th hour of 
use and before long time storage. Use 10W oil.
• Lever bearings
• Drive belt tension arm
• Auger belt tension arm
6.6.2 Gearbox
No parts inside the gearbox are to be lubricated. All bearings 
and bushings are permanently lubricated and require no 
maintenance.
Lubricating these parts will only result in the grease getting 
on to the friction wheel and disc drive plate, which could 
damage the rubber clad friction wheel.
For long time storage the above-mentioned parts should be 
lightly wiped with an oily rag to prevent rust. 
7 SERVICE AND REPAIRS
No service must be carried out before: 
- The engine has stopped. 
- The starting cable has been disconnected from 
the spark plug.
If the instructions say that the machine is to be lifted 
at the front and rested on the auger housing then the petrol 
tank must be emptied.
