5 USING THE SNOW THROWER
5.1 GENERAL
Never start the engine until all the above measures under
ASSEMBLY 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 BEFORE STARTING
Some snow throwers are delivered without oil in the engine.
Fill the engine with oil before using. The oil is supplied in a
separate bottle.
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.
2. Loosen the dipstick and fill with oil up to the FULL mark
(fig. 9).
3. Use good quality oil marked A.P.I service SF, SG or SH.
Use SAE 5W30 - 10W40 oil.
4. The crankcase holds: 0.8 litres.
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)
Do not touch engine components because they are
warm during use. Risk of burn injuries.
Never run the machine indoors. The exhaust
fumes contain carbon monoxide, a very toxic gas.
1. Make sure the driving and auger clutch levers are
disengaged (fig. 1).
2. Push the throttle to position .
3. Put in the ignition key. Ensure it clicks tight. Do not turn
the key!
4. Turn the choke to position . Note: A warm engine does
not need the choke.
5. Press the rubber primer-start 2 or 3 times. Make sure the
hole is covered when pressing the primer-start (fig. 10).
Note: Do not use this function when the engine is warm.
6. Pull on the starter cord until you feel resistance. Start the
engine with a sharp pull.
7. When the engine starts, turn the choke anti-clockwise
until it is fully open.
5.5 STARTING THE ENGINE (WITH ELECTRICAL
START)
Do not touch engine components because they are
warm during use. Risk of burn injuries.
Never run the machine indoors. The exhaust
fumes contain carbon monoxide, a very toxic gas.
1. Attach the connecting cable to an earthed extension lead.
Then connect the extension lead to a 220/230 volt earthed
socket.
2. Make sure the driving and auger clutch levers are
disengaged (fig. 1).
3. Push the throttle to position .
4. Put in the ignition key. Ensure it clicks tight. Do not turn
the key!
5. Turn the choke to position . Note: A warm engine does
not need the choke.
6. Press the rubber primer-start 2 or 3 times. Make sure the
hole is covered when pressing the primer-start (fig. 10).
Note: Do not use this function when the engine is warm.
7. Starting the engine:
a. Press the start button to activate the starting motor.
b. When the engine starts, release the start button and
open the choke by slowly turning the choke lever anti-
clockwise to position .
c. If the engine stutters, close the choke immediately and
gradually open it again.
d. First pull out the extension lead from the socket. Then
remove the extension lead from the engine.
Note: The electrical starting motor has overload
protection. The motor stops automatically when
overheated. It will not restart until it has cooled, which
takes about 5 - 10 minutes.
5.6 STOPPING
1. Release both clutch levers. Note. If the snow thrower
continues rotating - see ADJUSTING THE CONTROL
WIRES below.
2. Push the throttle to idling position . Let the engine run
on idle a few minutes to melt the snow.
3a. Machines without an electric starter:
With the engine running, pull out the start handle a few
times to prevent the starting apparatus from freezing. An
unusual rattling noise occurs. This does not damage the
engine.
