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. d. After filling, 
screw the filler cap on tightly and wipe up any spilt petrol.

The silencer and surrounding parts become very 
hot when the engine is running. Risk of burns. 
2. Always adapt the speed to the snowy conditions. 
Regulate the speed with the gear stick not the throttle.
3.  Snow is more effectively removed directly after falling.
4.  Always throw the snow in the direction of the wind if 
possible.
5.  Adjust the shoes with the screws (A 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.
6.  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. 
Removing the ignition key. 
- Disconnecting the starting 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

times.
5.  Put the choke in position   
6.  - Disconnecting the starting cable from the spark plug.
Do not cover the machine while the engine and 
silencer are still warm.
6 MAINTENANCE
6.1 OIL CHANGE
Change the oil the first time after 2 hours of operation, and 
subsequently every 25 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 to the right so that the oil 
draining plug 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. 
Oil amount in the crankcase: 0.8 litre
6.2 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: Champion RC12YC.
Correct spark gap: 0.7/-0.8 mm 
6.3 CARBURETTOR
The carburettor is factory set. If adjustment is required, 
contact an authorised service station.  
						

							54
 ENGLISHEN
7 LUBRICATION
No service must be carried out before: 
The engine has stopped. 
The ignition key has been removed. 
- 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.
7.1 DISCHARGER
Lubricate the discharger flange and the adjustment lever 
worm gear every 5th hour of use and before long time 
storage. 
7.2 THE AUGER SHAFT
Lubricate the auger shaft lubricating nipples with a grease 
gun every 10th hour of use (fig 13). Always lubricate the 
shaft when changing the shear bolts.
Dismantle the bolts for long time storage. Lubricate with the 
grease gun and then rotate the auger freely on the shaft before 
replacing the bolts.
Note: The SNOW MASTER does not have lubricating 
nipples on the auger. Lubricate by removing the bolts.
7.3 WORM GEAR
The worm gear if filled with special lubricant at the factory. 
Refilling is not normally required.
Loosen the plug once a year and check if the worm gear 
contains lubricant (fig 15).
If it is leaking or has been repaired it must be refilled with 
lubricant. The worm gear holds 92 grams of lubricant at the 
most.
Use Shell Darina 1, Texaco Thermatex EP1, Mobiltem 78, 
Benalene #372 Grease or similar. 
7.4 HEXAGONAL SHAFT
The hexagonal shaft, chain sprocket and chains are not 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.
