5 USING THE SNOW THROWER

5.1 GENERAL

Never start the engine until all the above measures under “ASSEMBLY” på sidan 45” 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 CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL (FIG. 11)

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.

1. Wipe clean around the oil dipstick. Unscrew and pull it up. Wipe off the dipstick.

2. Slide the dipstick down completely and tighten it.

3. Pull up the dipstick again. Read off the oil level. Top up with oil to the "FULL" mark, if the level comes below this mark.

Use oil SAE 5W30-10W40 in accordance with A.P.I service "SF", "SG" or "SH".

The crankcase holds: 0.6 litres.

1. Reinstall the oil filler cap (11:F).

The oil level must never exceed the “FULL” mark. This results in the engine overheating. If the oil level exceeds the “FULL” mark, the oil must be drained until the correct level is achieved.

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), 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.

Watch out for rotating auger. Keep hands, feet, hair and loose clothing away from any moving parts on the machine.

1. 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.

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.

1. 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.

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.

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.
