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. 5.8 DRIVING TIPS The silencer and surrounding parts become very hot when the engine is running. Risk of burns. 1. Always run the engine on full throttle or next best. 2. Always adapt the speed to the snowy conditions. Regulate the speed with the gear stick. 3. Snow is more effectively removed directly after falling. 4. Always throw the snow in the direction of the wind if possible.
49 ENGLISHEN 5. Adjust the shoes with the screws (1:H) 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. 5.9 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 closed 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 20 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 (1:Q) 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 ”“checking the engine oil level (FIG. 11)” på sidan 47” 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 F7TC 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. 12. 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. Empty the petrol tank outdoors when the engine is cold. Do not smoke. Empty into a container designed for petrol.

Adjust the scraper blade (always together with the shoes) until desired distance to the ground. The scraper blade and the shoes are reversible and can be used on both sides. See ”“STARTING” på sidan 48”. 7.3 GENERAL ABOUT DRIVE BELTS The drive belts should be checked and adjusted once per season and replaced when needed. This should all be done at an authorised service station. 7.4 ADJUSTING THE CONTROL WIRES When the belts are replaced, the control wires must also be adjusted (see below). 1. Remove the spark plug protection. 2. Press down the lever (1:O or 1:N). The lever should provide some resistance when pressed, and spring back in place when let go. 3. Adjust as described below: Untighten the locking nut Screw the adjustment rod into desired position with use of the fingers. Secure the adjustment rod by tightening the locking nut. 4. Recheck the adjustment according to position 2 above and, if nessecary, make new adjustments. 7.5 REPLACING THE SHEAR BOLTS (1:W) The auger is fastened to the shaft by special bolts that are designed to break if something gets stuck in the auger housing. Always use genuine spare parts. Other types of bolts could cause serious damage to the machine. 1. Stop the engine. 2. Disconnect the ignition cable from the spark plug. 3. Ensure all the rotating parts have stopped. 4. Remove the object that has fastened in the auger. 5. Align the holes in the shaft and auger. 6. Remove the broken bolt parts. 7. Assemble a new original shear bolt. 8 STORAGE Never store the snow thrower with petrol in the tank in a confined area with bad ventilation. Petrol fumes could reach open flames, sparks, cigarettes etc. If the snow thrower is to be stored for a longer period than 30 days, the following measures are recommended: 1. Empty the petrol tank. 2. Start the engine and let it run until it stops due to lack of fuel. 3. Change the engine oil if it has not been done for 3 months. 4. Remove the spark plug and empty a little engine oil (about 30ml) in the hole. Crank the engine a couple of times. Screw back the spark plug. 5. Clean the whole snow thrower thoroughly. 6. Lubricate all the parts as shown in ”“LUBRICATION” på sidan 49” above. 7. Inspect the snow thrower for damage. Repair if necessary. 8. Touch up any paint damage. 9. Rust protect the metal surfaces. 10. Store the snow thrower indoors if possible. Problem Possible cause Remedy Engine fails to start.Engine flooded.
