• Fit the lower part of the linkage to the frame using the screws supplied. Use an open-end spanner for this.

• Hold the upper linkage in alignment with the holes. Slide the screws inwards from the outside. From the inside, first place the washer and then screw the two rods firmly together with the plastic rotary knobs.

CAUTION: Be careful - Do not bend or kink cables bend

• Carefully slide the ejection chute onto the chassis.Manual_FX-SF210_Int24_rev14

• Install the support rod of the snow chute and secure the nut with a spanner.

• Now fit the upper part of the adjustment rod of the ejection chute. To do this, push it it through the rubber ring.

• Slide the upper part of the adjustment rod into the holder of the counterpart and align the holes.

• Now insert the safety splint as shown.

CAUTION: It is not recommended to use the snow blower on gravel, as it can pick up and eject loose gravel. This can lead to injuries or damage to the snow blower and surrounding objects. ⚫ For thorough snow clearing on smooth surfaces, move the skids on the housing to a higher position. ⚫ Use the middle or low position if the area to be cleared is uneven, such as a gravel driveway. Adjusting the skids:Manual_FX-SF210_Int24_rev14

• Loosen the hexagon nuts and carriage bolts. Adjust the skids to the desired position.

• Make sure that the entire lower surface of the skid presses on the floor to avoid uneven wear of the skids.

• Reattach the nuts and bolts.

Shear pin A spare pair of shear pins and nylon lock nuts are included with your snow blower. Store them in a safe place until you need them.

Cleaning tool for the ejection chute The cleaning tool is attached to the top of the auger housing with a retaining clip and a cable tie. Cut the cable tie before operating the snow blower. Tyre pressure The correct tyre pressure is between 1.0 bar and 1.4 bar. Check the tyre pressure regularly and always set the same pressure in all tyres. Over-inflation (over 1.4 bar) can cause the tyre to burst. The resulting forces can lead to serious injuries. Use a manual pump or a portable electric pump to avoid over-inflating the tyres. NEVER USE AN AIR COMPRESSORManual_FX-SF210_Int24_rev14

Fuel recommendations Use car petrol (unleaded or low-lead to minimise pollutants in the exhaust gas) with at least 87 octane. Petrol with up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE (methyl tert-butyl ether) can be used. Never use an oil/petrol mixture or contaminated petrol. Avoid getting dirt, dust or water into the fuel tank. Do NOT use E85 fuel. ⚫ Always refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine switched off. Smoking, naked flames or sparks are not permitted in the vicinity where the engine is being refuelled or the petrol is being stored. ⚫ Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refuelling, make sure that the fuel filler cap is properly closed. ⚫ Refuel carefully so as not to spill any petrol. Spilt petrol or petrol vapour can ignite. If petrol has been spilled, make sure that the area is dry again before starting the engine. ⚫ Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with the skin or inhalation of petrol vapours. Refuelling WARNING! Exercise extreme caution when handling petrol. Petrol is highly flammable and the vapours are explosive. Never refuel the machine indoors or when the engine is still hot or running. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition. WARNING! Always keep hands and feet away from moving parts. Do not use pressurised starting fluid. Vapours are flammable.

• Clean the filler neck before removing the filler cap.

• There is a tank detection system in the fuel tank. Refuel until the petrol reaches the red stop plate inside the filter. Be careful not to overfuel.

Check oil level ATTENTION: The engine is supplied without oil. You must fill it with sufficient oil and check the oil level before operating the snow blower. If you operate the engine with too little oil, this can lead to engine damage and loss of warranty. NOTE: Check the motor on level ground with the motor switched off.

• Remove the oil level cap/dipstick and wipe the dipstick clean.Manual_FX-SF210_Int24_rev14

• Insert the cap/dipstick into the filler neck and screw it in as far as it will go. Then screw the dipstick back on.

• Carefully pull out the dipstick. If the level is low, add oil slowly until the oil level is between the maximum level (H) and the minimum level (L). If the engine does not start or stops unexpectedly during operation, the oil level may be too low. Refer to the "Engine maintenance" section for the correct oil viscosity and oil quantity.

• Replace the oil cap and screw it tight before starting the engine. NOTE: Do not overfill. Overfilling can lead to engine smoke, difficult starting and soiling of the spark plug. Milling auger adjustment Regular adjustment of the auger timing may be necessary due to normal belt stretch and wear. Adjustment is necessary immediately if the milling auger a. begins to rotate with the milling worm control released.

b. During operation, the auger rotates slowly while the motor maintains speed. NOTE: Carry out this test before starting the machine for the first time and at the beginning of each winter season. Check the setting of the auger control as follows:

• When the auger control is released, the cable should sag slightly, it must not be tight.

• Start the snow blower in a well-ventilated area. Refer to the "Starting the engine" section of these operating instructions. Ensure that the drive lever is in the "FAST" position.

• When you are in the working position (behind the snow blower), start the auger.

• Leave the auger engaged for about 10 seconds before releasing the auger control. Repeat this several times.

• With the motor running in the "FAST" position and the milling auger control in the released "Up" position, run to the front of the machine.

• Make sure that the auger is completely stopped and shows NO sign of movement. NOTE: If the auger even begins to move, immediately return to the working position and switch off the motor. Wait for all moving parts to stop before adjusting the auger control cable as follows:

1. Hold the protective cover firmly

and pull the cable of the worm drive slightly until you can release the Bowden cable from the holder on the lever of the worm drive.

2. Move the protective cover upwards

so that the adjustment plate is visible. Pull the upper Bowden cable out of the lower hole in the Top up the oil when the dipstick shows below "ADD".Manual_FX-SF210_Int24_rev14

plate and reinsert the end into one of the upper holes in the plate.

• Slide the protective cover back over the adjustment plate and lock the Bowden cable again on the handle of the worm drive.

• After you have tightened the Bowden cable, test whether the drive runs smoothly again. NOTE: If the auger continues to rotate with the auger control disconnected, switch off the motor and readjust the cable. If the auger is reluctant to rotate during operation, the cable is too loose and the coupling end must be turned anti-clockwise to reduce the slack in the cable. Follow the steps above to readjust the coupling end of the cable. WARNING! Do not overstretch the cable. Overtensioning can prevent the auger from loosening and jeopardise the safety of the snow blower.Manual_FX-SF210_Int24_rev14

61. Starting/stopping the engine

Starting the engine with the manual starter WARNING! Always keep hands and feet away from moving parts. Do not use pressurised starting fluid. Vapours are flammable.

Acidic fuel can damage the fuel system during storage. To avoid engine problems, the tank system should be emptied if the machine is to be stored for 30 days or more. Follow the instructions to prepare your snow blower for storage. WARNING! Drain the fuel into a canister outside enclosed spaces, away from naked flames. Ensure that the engine is cold. Do not smoke. Remaining petrol can lead to starting problems in warm weather.

• Leave the engine running until the tank is empty and it stops due to lack of fuel.

• Remove the spark plugs and pour 30ml of oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole. Cover the hole with a rag and turn the engine a few times to distribute the oil. Refit the spark plug. Preparing the snow blower

• If the snow blower is stored in an unventilated place or in a metal shed, care should be taken to ensure that the equipment is resistant to rust. Use a light oil or silicone to treat the device, especially chains, springs, bearings and cables.

• Remove any dirt from the engine and system.

• Follow the lubrication recommendations in the "Maintenance" section of these operating instructions.

• Store the appliance in a clean, dry place. Lubrication

• Lubricate the axle points on the auger control and the drive control with light oil once a season. Milling worm axle Remove the shear pins from the milling auger axle at least once a season, spray lubricant into the axles, around the bushes and flange bearings at the end of the axle. See pictureManual_FX-SF210_Int24_rev14

Wheels Remove both wheels at least once a season. Clean and lubricate the axles with a multi-purpose lubricant before refitting the wheels. Engine maintenance WARNING! To prevent an accidental start, remove the start key (2) before starting maintenance. Regular inspection and adjustment of the motor is essential to ensure maximum performance and a long service life. The required service intervals and the type of maintenance are described in the table below. Follow the time or calendar intervals, whichever comes first. If you are working in adverse conditions, more frequent maintenance is required. Maintenance schedule Tasks First 5 hours With every use or every 5 hours Every season or every 25 hours Every season or every 50 hours Every season or every 100 hours Date of maintenance Check engine oil

Engine oil changeManual_FX-SF210_Int24_rev14

NOTE: Check the oil level before each use and every five working hours to ensure the oil level is correct. Read "Checking the oil level" in the "Operation" section.

• Empty the petrol in the tank by running the engine until it is empty.

• Place a suitable oil canister under the oil drain plug.

• Open the oil drain plug.

• Tilt the engine to empty the oil into the canister. Used oil must be disposed of at the prescribed location.

• Replace the oil drain plug and fasten it securely.

• Top up with the recommended oil and check the oil level as described in the "Operation" section.

• Replace the oil cap/dipstick securely. Oil drain plug CAUTION: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water as soon as possible after handling used oil. NOTE: Please dispose of used oil in an environmentally friendly manner. Take it to a recycling centre or to the appropriate collection points. Oil recommendations When topping up oil, refer to the viscosity diagram below. See Fig. 23. The oil capacity of the engine is 0.5 litres. Do not overfill. Use a 4-stroke or similar premium oil with detergent additives that fulfils the requirements of the automotive industry. Picture 23Manual_FX-SF210_Int24_rev14

CAUTION: DO NOT use 2-stroke oil or oil without detergent additives. It could reduce the service life of your engine. Spark plug WARNING! DO NOT check the sparks when the spark plug is removed. DO NOT turn the engine when the spark plug is removed. WARNING! When the engine is running, the exhaust will be very hot. Be careful not to touch the exhaust. To ensure that the engine operates correctly, the spark plug must be inserted correctly and be free of deposits.

• Remove the spark plug cable and use a spark plug spanner to remove the spark plug.

• Check the spark plug visually. Dispose of the spark plug if it is obviously worn or the insulator is cracked or chipped. Clean the spark plug with a wire brush if it is to be reused.

• Measure the electrode gap with a caliper gauge. If necessary, correct the distance by bending the electrode. Fig. 25 The distance should be 0.6-0.8 mm.

• Check that the spark plug gasket is in good condition and turn the spark plug in by hand to prevent it from jamming.

• Once the spark plug is in place, tighten it with a spark plug spanner to compress the seal. NOTE: When inserting a new gasket, turn the spark plug 1/2 turn to compress the gasket. With a used spark plug, 1/8 to 1/4 turn is sufficient.Manual_FX-SF210_Int24_rev14

CAUTION: The spark plug must be firmly seated. A loose spark plug can become very hot and damage the engine. Cleaning the motor If the engine was previously running, allow it to cool down for at least half an hour before you start cleaning. Regularly remove the accumulated dirt from the engine. CAUTION: DO NOT spray the engine with water for cleaning. The water could contaminate the petrol. Using a garden hose or pressure washer can flush water into the exhaust port. Water can enter the cylinder via the exhaust and cause damage. WARNING! The accumulation of foreign objects around the exhaust can cause a fire. Check and clean it before each use. Storage out of season For engines stored for longer than 30 days, the fuel must be drained to prevent ageing and gum deposits in the fuel system or in essential carburettor components. If the petrol ages during storage in the engine, you may have to repair or replace the carburettor or other components of the fuel system.

• Remove the petrol by running the engine until it runs out.

• Change the engine oil.

• Remove the spark plug and empty about 30 ml of clean engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug opening. Pull the starter handle several times to distribute the oil. Then reinsert the spark plug.

• Clean deposits around the engine and under/around/behind the exhaust. Apply a light film of oil to areas that are susceptible to rust.

• Store the machine in a clean, dry and well-ventilated place, away from any appliances that work with an open flame or pilot light. Avoid rooms in which spark-producing electric motors or electrical appliances are used.

• If possible, avoid rooms with high humidity.

• Store the engine level. Tilting the engine can lead to petrol or oil leaks. Maintenance of your snow blower Maintenance of the milling auger The augers are secured to the spiral axles with two shear pins with nylon hexagon nuts. If the augers collide with a foreign object or a block of ice, the snow blower is designed so that the pins shear off. If the auger does not rotate, check whether the pins are bent. If necessary, replace them with new shear pins. IMPORTANT: NEVER replace the shear pins of the auger with standard pins or holders. Any resulting damage to the gearbox or other components is NOT covered by the warrantyManual_FX-SF210_Int24_rev14
