Always wear ear protection!

The declared vibration value, which has been measured by a standardised test method, can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING! The actual vibration level when using power tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used. It is therefore necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start-up time).

The figures quoted are emission levels and are not necessarily safe working levels. Whilst there is a correlation between the emission and exposure levels, this cannot be used reliably to determine whether or not further precautions are required. Factors that influence the actual level of exposure of the workforce include the characteristics of the work room and the other sources of noise etc. i.e. the number of machines and other adjacent processes. Also the permissible exposure level can vary from country to country. This information, however, will enable the user of the machine to make a better evaluation of the hazard and risk.

Practical tips

NOTE! Let the engine run for a few minutes. The engine does not produce full output until it reaches operating temperature.

WARNING! The muffler and surrounding parts can get very hot during use – risk of burn injuries.

1. Remove the snow as soon as possible after snowfall for the best snow clearing results.
2. If possible, aim the ejector in the direction of the wind.
3. Slightly overlap each previous path.
4. The runners are normally positioned 6–7 mm below the shave plate. If the snow is firmly packed, the runners can be raised so that the shave plate is lower to the ground. Lower the runners so that the shave plate is higher up, when driving on gravel or similar.
5. Follow the instructions in the section about turning off the engine in order to prevent freezing.
6. Clean the machine carefully after each use.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Turn off the engine and disengage all the levers before servicing, performing repairs, lubrication and/or inspection. Wait until all moving parts have come to a complete standstill. Loosen the spark plug lead and earth this against the engine to prevent unintentional starting. Always wear safety glasses when working with or on the machine.

2. Place a suitable container under the drain plug.
3. Remove the drain plug.
4. Tilt the engine to pour oil into the container. Used oil must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
5. Replace the drain plug and tighten firmly.
6. Fill using oil of the recommended grade to the indicated level.
7. Put back the oil filler cap with the dipstick.

IMPORTANT Wash your hands immediately with soap and water after handling oil.

NOTE! Used oil must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

Recommended oil

Use oil according to the table. The engine oil volume is 0.5 l. Do not overfill. Use good grade 4-stroke engine oil.

IMPORTANT! Do not use any oil grades other than those recommended by the manufacturer, as this can shorten engine life.

Spark plug

WARNING! Do not check the spark with spark plug removed. Do not turn over the engine when the spark plug is not fitted.

WARNING! The muffler is hot when the engine has been running – risk of burns.

For good engine performance, the spark plug must be clean and have the right spark clearance.

1. Spark plug

2. Spark plug cap

- Remove the spark plug cap and unscrew the spark plug using a spark plug spanner.

- Inspect the spark plug. Discard the spark plug if it is visibly worn or if the insulator is cracked or broken. Clean the spark plug with a steel brush if it is to be used again.

1. Electrode

• Measure the electrode gap with a feeler gauge. Correct the gap, if necessary, by gently bending the electrode. The gap should be 0.60 to 0.80 mm.
- Check that the sealing washer is in good condition. Unscrew the spark plug carefully by hand to avoid threading problems.
- Tighten the spark plug with a suitable spanner to compress the sealing washer.

NOTE: Tighten a new spark plug a 1/2 turn after it seats to compress the sealing washer. If refitting the same, used spark plug, tighten it 1/8–1/4 turn after it seats to compress the sealing washer.

IMPORTANT! Tighten the spark plug correctly. A loose spark plug can overheat and damage the engine.

Cleaning the engine

If the engine has been running, leave it to cool for at least 30 minutes before cleaning. Regularly remove debris that has accumulated on the engine.

IMPORTANT! Do not spray water on the engine – risk of fuel contamination or water entering the cylinder through the muffler and damaging the engine.

WARNING! Clean out accumulated debris from the muffler before use – fire hazard.

WARNING! Avoid contact with moving parts during tasks that have to be performed while the engine is running. Avoid contact with the muffler, engine or other hot surfaces.

Storage

If the engine is not going to be used for at least 30 days, the fuel system should be drained to prevent deposits forming in the fuel system.

1. Drain the fuel tank by running the engine until it stops.
2. Change the engine oil.
3. Remove the spark plug and pour two tablespoons of fresh engine oil into the cylinder. Turn the engine a few times to distribute the oil and put back the spark plug.
4. Clean the engine and the area around the muffler. Apply a thin film of oil on corrosion-prone areas.

- Store in a clean, dry, well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources such as a boiler, water heater, tumble drier and electric motors that could emit sparks, in order to avoid the risk of ignition of fuel vapours.

• If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity levels.
• Store the engine on level ground. Tilting can cause fuel and/or oil to leak.

Gear linkage

Using a suitable grease, lubricate the gear linkage at least once a year or after every 25 hours of operation.

IMPORTANT! Keep rubber wheels and aluminium belt drive wheels free from grease and oil.

Control handle, ejector unit

Using suitable grease, lubricate the worm gear for setting the direction of the ejector.

Gearbox

The gearbox is lubricated at the factory and does not need to be checked.
