3. Mounting

STEP 1 - Mounting the handles.

Mount the handlebar onto the engine block. Fasten the two bolts already mounted from the factory to the engine block.

STEP 2 - Chute bracket and auger adjustment rod.

Chute bracket

Mount the chute bracket with attached bolt and nut on the left handlebar

Auger adjustment rod

Insert auger rod through bracket and further onto the shaft and lock with cotter pin.

STEP 3 - Mounting the cables

Pull drive and auger cable through holes from the inside of the handlebar. Loosen the cable so the hook can be mounted in the handles and tighten rigging screw.

Adjusting the clutch and drive cable

It will be necessary to adjust the cables in order to have the right traction and auger rotation. The rigging screw should be tightened until there is slack in the cable. The cable must be in emergencies could trigger the dead man lever, when the cable is released. Ensure that the Snowbuster is jacked during this adjustment. Jacking the Snowbuster will prevent it from moving in case the cables are too loose. Start the engine. Engage the drive handle this should activate the wheels. If the wheels are not running, tighten the rigging screw. Always make sure the cable is adjusted so that the machine comes to full stop when the dead man lever released.

Adjusting the auger cable

Tighten the rigging screw until there is enough tension in the cable. The cable must in emergencies trigger dead man lever when released. Let the machine run through the snow and release the auger handle. If the auger is still rotating, retighten the rigging screw.

STEP 4 - Inserting the gear lever

The gear lever is now ready to be inserted. Insert the gear lever through the gear bracket

STEP 5 - Transmission shaft

Attach the other end of the gear lever on the transmission shaft, secure with pin. Too much tension may damage the transmission.

STEP 6 - Chute assembly

When the chute is assembled it should rotate easily without any friction. If not, check whether the plates are fastened too tight. Ensure that the different types of plates are in the right sequence.

See picture above. The auger screw can be adjusted to move it in or out for screw engagement. If turning the chute handle cause the screw to jump over the chute teeth move the auger screw in by unloosing the support bracket screw and pushing it in.

Emergency stop

Release the dead man levers and shut off the engine switch.

To start the engine

Open the fuel valve (below the choker) and set the engine switch to ON, hereafter do as follow:

Activate the choker

• To start a cold engine, ensure that the choker is in OPEN position.
• To start a warm engine, make sure the choke is in the CLOSE position.

Recoil starter

• Pull the recoil starter gently until you feel resistance. Then pull quickly and energetic. Do not at any time let go of the recoil starter but slide it gently back and pull again.

When the engine is started

Throttle

• Move the throttle lever slowly from the slow position towards the fast position.

Choke

• If starting a cold engine push the choker gradually from OPEN to CLOSE position as the engine warms up.

Turning off engine

• Move the throttle gradually from FAST to SLOW position.
• Close the fuel valve (below the choke) and set the engine switch to OFF.

5. Operating the machine

Check the oil level. Check that all bolts and nuts are securely fastened.

Adjust the skids, to ensure that dirt, rocks and other objects are not collected by the machine.

Adjust the chute discharger in the desired ejecting angle using the adjusting lever

Start the engine as described under point 4.

Choose the gear you want to drive. Activate the clutch. Start in a slow gear, increase gradually. The same applies to the reverse gear.

Always use a gear that is suitable for the amount of snow. Choose a lower gear for heavy snow, a higher gear for less snow.

Activate the auger using the left handle. The auger will be activated as long as you hold handlebar down.

Stopping the machine

You can stop the machine by releasing the auger handle to the left and the drive handle to the right.

Let the machine idle a few minutes after throwing snow this will prevent freeze up of aug-ger/impeller.

To avoid the engine freezing and problems starting the engine, you must leave the engine running for 5 minutes, when your work has been completed. In this way all moisture will disappear that would otherwise cause starting problems.

Turn off the machine by turning engine switch to OFF

6. Tips regarding the clearing of snow

Use the machine as soon as it has stopped snowing. If you wait, the bottom layer of the snow will become ice. This will make the work more difficult.

If possible you should use the machine with the wind in your back.

Clear the snow so the tracks overlap each other.

The adjustment of the chute flap has an effect on the distance of the throw out. The steeper the angle of the chute flap, the longer the distance of the throw out.

7. Maintenance

To ensure a proper upkeep of your machine, the following pages include a maintenance schedule and description plus an inspection procedure of your machine. For tasks that are more difficult, or require special tools, maintenance should be carried out by technician or other qualified mechanic.

Maintenance safety

We have in this manual pointed out some of the most important safety measures and precautions in the operation / management and maintenance of the machine. However it is impossible for us to warn you against all hazards or hazardous situations, it is therefore important that the user of the machine exhibits vigilance to operate the machine safely and rationally to avoid bringing yourself and others in danger.

WARNING

Refueling

With the engine stopped, remove the fuel tank cap and check the fuel level. Refill the tank if the fuel level is low.

WARNING: Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.

• Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
• Handle fuel only outdoors.
• Wipe up spills immediately

Refuel in a well-ventilated area before starting the engine. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool. Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill above the fuel strainer shoulder. After refueling, tighten the fuel tank cap securely.

Never refuel inside a building or where gasoline fumes may get in contact with an ignition source. Keep gasoline away from appliance, pilot lights, barbecues, electric appliances, power tools, etc.

Fuel recommendations

• Use unleaded gasoline octane 95 or higher.
• These engines are certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

Engine oil level check

In order to check the engine oil level correctly the engine must be stopped and the machine in a level position.

• Remove the filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.

• Insert and remove the dipstick into the filler neck to check oil level. The Oil level must be within the specified interval at the end of the stick. If the oil level is at the lower end of the interval, refill with oil SAE 5 W-30. Warning: Never refill oil over the higher end of the interval, this will damage the engine.
  If the oil level is low, fill to the edge of the oil filler hole with the recommended oil.
• Screw in the filler cap / dipstick securely.

Engine oil change

Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil is more fluid then cold and drains better.

• Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil, and then remove the filler cap and the drain plug.
• Allow the used oil to drain completely, and then reattach the drain plug, and tighten it securely.
• Please dispose the used engine oil environmentally correct. We suggest that you keep the used oil in a sealed container and dispose at your recycling center or service station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the waste; pour it on the ground; or down a drain.
• With the engine in a level position, fill to the outer edge of the oil filler hole with the recommended oil.

• Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely.

Engine oil specifications

Oil is a major factor affecting the performance of your machine and service life. Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil.

SAE 5W-30 is recommended for general use. Other viscosities oils shown in the chart may be used when the average temperature in your area is within the recommended range.

SAE Viscosity Grades

The SA oil viscosity and service classification are in the API label on the oil container. We recommend that you use API SERVICE Category SE or SF oil.

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE

Spark Plug Maintenance

Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10 hours of operation and if necessary clean it with a copper wire brush. Thereafter service the spark plug after every 50 hours of operation.

Recommended spark plugs: Denso W22EP-U or other equivalents.

NOTICE: An incorrect spark plug can cause engine damage.

• Disconnect the spark plug cap and remove any dirt from around the spark plug area.
• Remove the spark plug with a spark plug wrench. Inspect the spark plug.
• Replace it if the electrodes are worn, or if the insulator is cracked or chipped.
  Measure the spark plug electrode gap with a suitable gauge.
• The gap should be 0.028 -0.031 in (0.70 - 0.80 mm). Correct the gap, if necessary, by carefully bending the side electrode Mount the spark plug carefully, by hand, to avoid cross-threading.
  After the spark plug seats, tighten with a spark plug wrench to compress the water.
• If reattaching a used spark plug, tighten 1/8 - 1/4 turn after the spark plug seats. If installing a new spark plug, tighten 1/2 turn after the spark plug seats.
• Attach the spark plug cap.

Draining fuel sediment cup

The sediment cup prevents dirt and water from entering the carburetor. If the engine has not been engaged over a period time, the sediment cup should be cleaned before use.

• Turn the fuel valve to the off position.
• Remove the sediment cup using a 10mm wrench.
• Remove the o-ring and filter.
• Clean each of the parts in a high flash-point solvent.
• Reinstall the filter, o-ring, and sediment cup. Tighten with 10mm wrench to secure.
• Return the fuel valve to the ON position and check for leaks

Sediment cup assembly

Draining the carburetor

• Loosen the carburetor drain screw.
• Allow gasoline to drain completely into suitable container.
• Re-tighten drain screw.

8. Storage

Storage preparation

Proper preparation for long term storage is essential for keeping your snow blower free from rust corrosion and prevent part and function to parts impair. The following steps will make the engine easier to start after storage and prevent your snow blower from rusting during long term period.

Cleaning

If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before cleaning. Clean all exterior surfaces, seal up any damaged paint, and coat other areas that may rust with a light film of oil.

• Using a garden hose or high-pressure cleaner can force water into the air cleaner or muffler opening. Water in the air cleaner will soak the air filter, and water that passes through the air filter or muffler can enter the cylinder, causing damage.
• Water contacting a hot engine can cause damage and in worst case crack the aluminum parts in the engine. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before washing.

Fuel

Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Old gasoline (more than 3 months old) will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system. If the gasoline in your engine deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the carburetor and other fuel system components serviced or replaced.

The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank and carburetor without causing functional problems will vary with such factors as gasoline blend, your storage temperatures, and whether the fuel tank is partially or completely filled. The air in a partially filled fuel tank promotes fuel deterioration. Very warm storage/temperatures accelerate fuel deterioration. Fuel deterioration problems may occur within a few months, or even less if the gasoline was not fresh when you filled the fuel tank.

The Manufacturer's Limited Warranty does not cover fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from neglected storage preparation. You can extend fuel storage life by adding a fuel stabilizer that is formulated for that purpose, or you can avoid fuel deterioration problems by draining the fuel tank and carburetor.

Do not keep same gasoline in engine for more than 3 months!!! Adding a fuel additive to extend fuel service life

When adding fuel additive, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If only partially filled, Air in the tank will increase fuel deterioration during storage. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline.

• Follow the fuel additive instructions of the manufacturer.
• After filling fuel additive into the tank. Idle run, the engine outdoors for 10 minutes ensure that additive mixture has been distributed in the whole engine block and in particular in the carburetor.
• Stop the engine, and move the fuel valve to the OFF position.

Draining the fuel tank and carburetor

• Place an approved gasoline container below the carburetor, and use a funnel to avoid spilling fuel.
• Remove the carburetor drain bolt, and then pull out the fuel tube. We recommend to drain the fuel tank first and the carburetor secondly

After all the fuel has drained into the container, reattach the drain bolt and fuel tube. Ensure that both bolt and tube are securely tightened.

Precautionary measures against moist

1. Change the engine oil.
2. Remove the spark plugs.
3. Pour a tablespoon (5-10 cc) of clean engine oil into the cylinder.
4. Pull the starter rope several times to distribute the oil in the cylinder.
5. Reinstall the spark plugs.
6. Pull the starter rope slowly until resistance is felt. This will close the valves so moisture cannot enter the engine cylinder. Return the starter rope gently.

If your engine will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and carburetor, it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor ignition. Select a well-ventilated storage location, away from any appliance that operates with a flame, such as a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer. Also avoid any location with a spark-producing electric motor, or where power tools are operated.

• If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because humidity increases rust and corrosion.
• Ensure that all fuel has been drained from the fuel tank, in order to minimize the possibility of fuel leakage.
• Position the equipment so the engine is level. Tilting the machine can cause fuel or oil leakage.
• Cover the engine and exhaust system to prevent from dust. Notice that a hot engine and exhaust system can ignite or melt some materials. Do not use sheet plastic as a dust cover. A nonporous cover will trap moisture around the engine, promoting rust and corrosion.

Preparing the machine after a long term storage

Check your engine as described in the maintenance chapter. If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with fresh gasoline. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline. Gasoline oxidizes and deteriorates over time, causing hard starting. If the cylinders were coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine may smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.

Period of storage compared to last usage.

Less than 1-month

• No special preparation is required.

1 to 2 months

• Fill with fresh gasoline and add a gasoline conditioner.

2 months to 1 year

• Fill with fresh gasoline and add a gasoline conditioner.
• Drain fuel from carburetor.
• Clean fuel sediment cup.

1 year or more

• Drain fuel tank.
• Drain fuel from the carburetor.
• Clean fuel sediment cup.
• Remove spark plug.
• Put a tablespoon of engine oil into the spark plug cylinder. Turn the engine slowly with the pull rope to distribute the oil.
• Reinstall spark plug and change engine oil.
