5 USING THE SNOW THROWER
5.1 GENERAL
Never start the engine until all the above measures under 
ASSEMBLY have been carried out. 
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
Some snow throwers are delivered without oil in the engine. 
Fill the engine with oil before using. The oil is supplied in a 
separate bottle.
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 dipstick and fill with oil up to the FULL mark 
(fig. 9).
3.  Use good quality oil marked A.P.I service SF, SG or SH. 
Use SAE 5W30 - 10W40 oil. 
4.  The crankcase holds: 0.8 litres.
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 (WITHOUT 
ELECTRICAL START)

lever when the one-hand-control or the drive lever 
is actuated. This will serious damage the friction 
wheel.
5.8 DRIVING TIPS
1. Always run the engine on full throttle or next best.
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 (13 in fig. 1) to suit the 
ground conditions: 
- On flat ground, e.g. asphalt, the shoes should be about  
3 mm under the scraping blade.
- On uneven ground, e.g. gravel paths, the shoes should 
be about  30 mm 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 cable from the spark plug. 
- Do not put your hand inside the chute or auger. 
 Use the tool supplied.

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 burned. The 
engine manufacturer recommends: RC124YC or equivalent.
Correct spark gap: 0.7-0.8 mm.
The spark plug is accessible under the protection plate in fig. 
11.
6.4 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. The 
recommended air pressures are shown in the table below.
6.5 CARBURETTOR
The carburettor is factory set. If adjustment is required, 
contact an authorised service station. 
6.6 LUBRICATION
No service must be carried out before: 
- The engine has stopped. 
- The ignition key has been removed. 
- The 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.
6.6.1 Discharger
Lubricate the discharger flange and the adjustment lever 
worm gear every 10:th hour of use and before long time 
storage. 
6.6.2 The auger shaft
Lubricate the auger shaft lubricating nipples with a grease 
gun every 10th hour of use (fig. 12). 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.
6.6.3 Worm gear (S in fig. 12)
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. 12).
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 Benalene #900 Grease or similar. 
6.6.4 Mechanism for chute rotation 
See fig. 4.
Remove the cover.
If the chute is difficult to operate, first lubricate the gear (A). 
If it is still difficult to operate, adjust accordingly to one or 
both of the following:

• Régler la hauteur du carter de la fraise pour qu’elle ne 
touche pas le gravier.
• Il est formellement interdit de procéder aux réglages si le 
moteur n’est pas à l’arrêt (sauf  instructions contraires).
• Laisser le chasse-neige s’adapter à la température 
extérieure avant de l’utiliser.
• Porter impérativement des lunettes de protection ou une 
visière pendant l’utilisation, la maintenance et les 
entretiens. 
2.3 UTILISATION
• Éloigner les mains et les pieds des éléments en rotation.  
Toujours rester à l’écart de l’orifice de l’éjecteur.
• Utiliser le chasse-neige exclusivement pour déneiger.
• Faire attention lorsqu’on déneige des sentiers, trottoirs et 
routes, ou lorsqu’on les traverse. Se méfier des dangers 
cachés et faire attention au trafic.
• Ne jamais diriger l’éjecteur vers la voie publique ou le 
trafic.
• En cas dimpact avec un objet quelconque, couper le 
moteur, débrancher le câble de la bougie et vérifier 
minutieusement létat de la machine.  Procéder aux 
réparations qui simposent avant de la remettre en service.
• Si la machine vibre anormalement, couper le moteur et 
vérifier immédiatement lorigine des vibrations. Elles 
signalent généralement un problème.
• Arrêter le moteur et débrancher le câble de la batterie : 
A. Si la machine dévie de sa trajectoire. 
B. Si la fraise ou l’éjecteur se bloquent et doivent être 
dégagés. 
C. Avant d’entamer des réparations ou des réglages.
• Avant de procéder au nettoyage, à la réparation ou à 
l’inspection de la machine, s’assurer que toutes les 
parties mobiles sont à l’arrêt et que toutes les commandes 
sont débrayées.
• Lorsque le chasse-neige est abandonné sans surveillance, 
débrayer les commandes, mettre la boîte de vitesse en 
position neutre, couper le moteur et retirer la clé de 
contact. 
• Ne pas faire tourner le moteur à l’intérieur, sauf au 
démarrage ou pour sortir et rentrer le chasse-neige. 
Ouvrir les portes donnant vers l’extérieur ; les gaz 
d’échappement sont toxiques. 
• Ne jamais circuler perpendiculairement à une pente. Se 
déplacer de haut en bas, et de bas en haut. Redoubler de 
prudence lors des changements de direction sur les 
terrains en pente. Éviter les pentes escarpées.
• Ne jamais utiliser la machine si les protections et 
dispositifs de sécurité sont insuffisants.
• Il est interdit de déconnecter les dispositifs de sécurité ou 
d’en empêcher le fonctionnement.
• Ne pas modifier le réglage du moteur. Ne pas pousser le 
moteur à plein régime. Le risque de blessure augmente 
lorsque le moteur tourne à plein régime.
