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. 14) 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 “ON”. 4. Turn the choke (2) 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.
46 ENGLISHEN 6. When the engine starts, reset the choke until it is fully open. 5.5 STOPPING 1. Release both clutch levers. Note. If the snow thrower continues rotating - see 7.6 below. 2. Close the fuel cock (3). 3. Set the stop switch (13) in position “OFF”. 5.6 STARTING 1. Start the engine as above. Let the engine run a few minutes to warm before use. 2. Set the chute deflector. 3. Turn the adjustment lever and set the deflector to throw the snow in the direction of the wind. The gear stick must not be moved if the driving clutch lever is depressed. 4.

Keep hands, feet, hair and loose clothing away from any moving parts on the machine. 6. Press down the auger clutch lever. The snow thrower now moves forward or backwards depending on the gear you have chosen. 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. 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 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 position 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 5.2 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.
