OPERATION

WARNING

Do not allow familiarity with products to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.

WARNING

Always wear eye protection. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury.

PREPARATION (See figure 8)

■ Check the auger has not already taken in snow in the start position.
■ Insert the battery in the specific compartment.

Note: Before starting to clear the snow, silicone spray should be applied to the auger to avoid ice formation on the rotating units.

SAFETY CHECKS

After start-up and before using the machine, it is essential to run the following safety tests. Check the results of the safety checks correspond to those in the table.

WARNING

Always carry out the safety checks before use.

WARNING

If any of the results fails to match the indications provided in the following table, do not use the machine! Take it to a service centre to be checked and repaired if necessary.

General safety and auger functionality check.

Object Result
Press the ignition key. Press the starter lever.	The motor starts and the auger starts to rotate.
Test driving	No abnormal vibrations. No abnormal sound.
Release the starter lever.	The motor and auger stop immediately.

START-UP / OPERATION (See figure 9)

WARNING

The auger starts to rotate when the snow thrower starts. Keep people a safe distance away and check the auger is not touching stones or objects that could be launched.

Departure

■ Tilt the snow thrower slightly back and lift the auger slightly from the ground.
■ Press and keep the starter lever release pressed.
■ To start, pull the starter lever.

WARNING

If the auger is blocked, do not attempt to operate the motor. The machine is equipped with an automatic "Motor save" protection when inserted, wait a few minutes before re-starting the machine.

Operation

Lower the auger towards the ground and start to remove snow.

WARNING

Always stop the motor before proceeding with release operations.

STOP (See figure 9)

To stop the machine, release the starter lever.

IMPORTANT: If you have to leave the machine, remove the battery.

■ Snow is removed more easily when it is still fresh. Pass back over the already cleared zones to remove snow residue.
■ If possible, clear the snow in the direction of the wind. Check the distance and the direction of the removed snow jet.
In strong winds, lower the deflector to direct the discharged snow towards the ground, reducing the likelihood of the wind transporting the snow to the wrong areas.
■ Once you have finished work, leave the machine running for a few minutes to prevent ice from forming in the discharge chute.

Dry and normal snow

Snow up to 20 cm can be quickly removed by proceeding to evenly clear it away. For deeper or built up snow, reduce the speed and let the machine work at its own rhythm.

English (original instructions)

Wet or compact snow

Slowly move forward. Avoid using the lower blade to remove compact snow and ice.

IMPORTANT: Heavy use of the machine with wet or compact snow can cause faults to the auger compartment.

AFTER OPERATION

■ Immediately remove the battery from its compartment.
■ Clean the remaining snow on the machine with a brush.
■ Move all the controls forward and back a few times.
■ Tighten any nuts and bolts that are loosened during operation.
- Check there are no loose or damaged components. If necessary, replace the damaged components.

WARNING

Do not cover the machine when the motor is still warm.

DEFLECTOR ADJUSTMENT (See figure 10)

■ To adjust the discharge chute, rotate the chute adjustment handle in the direction that you wish to direct the snow stream.
■ To adjust the chute deflector (and therefore the height of the snow stream), squeeze the trigger and raise or lower the chute deflector.
