Never, under any circumstances, make adjustments while
the engine is running (unless otherwise specified in the
instructions).
1 SYMBOLS
The following symbols appear on the machine. They are
there to remind you of the care and attention required in use.
This is what the symbols mean:
•
•
Allow the snow thrower to adjust to the outdoor
temperature before using it.
Always use protective goggles or a visor during use,
maintenance and service.
Warning. If the regulations are not followed, there
is a risk of danger to life and machine breakdown.
2.3 OPERATION
•
Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts. Always
Read the owner’s manual before operating the
machine.
avoid the discharge chute opening.
•
Be careful when driving on or crossing gravel paths,
pavements and roads. Be aware of hidden dangers and
traffic.
Never direct the discharge chute towards a public road or
traffic.
If the snow thrower hits a foreign object, stop the engine,
disconnect the spark plug cable and carefully inspect the
machine for damage. Repair the damage before using the
machine again.
If the machine starts vibrating abnormally, stop the
engine and look for the cause. Vibration is normally a
sign of something wrong.
The snow thrower may only be connected to power sock-
ets that are supplied with earth leakage circuit breakers.
The earth leakage circuit breaker must have a trip current
of max. 30 mA.
Keep bystanders at a safe distance from the
machine.
•
•
Warning of hard objects flying off.
The power supply must be disconnected before
carrying out cleaning or maintenance.
•
•
The electric cable must be kept away from the auger
opening. Check that the connection cable is always
fault free. Only fault-free cables may be used.
Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.
Risk of death and maiming.
•
Risk of tripping over the electric cable. Always be aware
of the whereabouts of the electric cable so that it does not
get in the way of your feet or anything else moving about
in the area.
Risk of fatal electric shocks
•
•
The snow thrower may only be connected with a cable
that is approved for outdoor use.
The electric cable with which the snow thrower is con-
nected must always be intact. It must never be used if it
displays signs of damage.
The snow thrower must never be used if its plug, electric
cable or other electrical equipment is damaged.
Repairs to the electrical equipment may only be carried
out by an authorised electrician.
Never drive over the electric cable for the snow thrower
while working.
If the electric cable for the snow thrower has been dam-
aged while working, the following instructions must be
followed:

3 ASSEMBLY
3.1 UNPACKING
1. Open the packing and take out all parts.
2. Check that all parts are supplied. The parts are as follows:
Before leaving the machine unattended, disengage all the
controls, put it into neutral gear, stop the engine and
remove the ignition key.
Never run the engine indoors except when taking it in and
out of its place of storage. In this case ensure the door to
the storage place is open. Exhaust fumes are toxic.
Never drive across a slope. Move from the top down, and
from the bottom to the top. Be careful when changing
direction on a slope. Avoid steep slopes.
Never operate the machine with insufficient protection or
without the safety devices in place.
Existing safety devices must not be disconnected or
disengaged.
Do not alter the engine’s regulator setting and do not race
the engine. The possibility of personal injury increases
when the engine is run at high revs.

5.5 SNOW CLEARANCE
See fig. 1.
Never aim the snow at bystanders.
4 CONTROLS
The snow thrower is fitted with the following controls and
devices.
Always stop the engine before unclogging.
See fig. 9-12.
Starting handle (1) – Starts and stops the electric motor.
Ignition lock (2) – Facilitates activation of the starting han-
dle.
Always wear eye protection when operating the
snow thrower.
Connector (3) – For electrical connection.
Cable support (4) – For supporting the connection cable.
Deflector lock (5) – Locks the deflector in position.
Direction lever (6)– Changes the direction of the discharge
chute.
1. Start the motor as described above and check the ejection
distance and direction.
2. If necessary, stop the motor and adjust the deflector (B).
Upwards gives a longer throwing distance and down-
wards gives a shorter throwing distance. Lock the deflec-
tor in position using the knob (5).
Discharge chute (A) – Ejects the snow.
3. If necessary, stop the motor and adjust the discharge
chute (A) with the lever (6) so that the snow is ejected in
the desired direction.
Deflector (B) – Determines the distance the snow is thrown.
4. Stop working by releasing the starting handle (1).
5. Any unclogging can easily be carried out with a piece of
wood or similar after the engine has stopped.
5 USING THE MACHINE
5.1 GENERAL
Never start the engine until all the above measures under
‘ASSEMBLY’ have been carried out.
The snow thrower is propelled automatically with the aid of
the auger. To facilitate propulsion, raise the handlebar a little.
Do not push the snow thrower.
Never use the snow thrower without first reading
and understanding the enclosed instructions and
all the warning and instruction stickers on the
snow thrower and in these instructions.
Always wear protective goggles or a visor during
use, maintenance and service.
5.5.1 Dry and normal snow
Snow up to 20 cm deep can be removed quickly and easily
by clearing at an even speed. Plan for downwind discharge of
the snow.
5.5.2 Wet, packed snow
5.2BEFORE STARTING
The connection cable and its plugs must be fault
free and approved for outdoor use.
Drive slowly forward. If the wet, packed snow blocks the dis-
charge chute, back up and jab a little way into the snow a few
times to clear the deflector.
The connection cable may only be connected to
power sockets equipped with an earth leakage cir-
cuit breaker with a trip current of max. 30 mA.
5.6 AFTER USE
The connection cable must be suspended on the ca-
ble support. Otherwise there is a risk of damage
alongside the plug which is potentially life-threat-
ening.
The snow thrower must never be rinsed with wa-
ter. Risk of damage to the electrical system and
risk of electric shocks.
Connect the snow thrower with the electric cable from the
property’s power socket.
Suspend the cable on the cable support (4) and connect to the
connector (3). See fig. 9.
1. Stop the motor.
2. Disconnect the electric cable from the snow thrower and
the property’s power socket.
3. Allow the snow thrower to cool for 30 minutes.
4. Clean the inside and outside of the snow thrower with a
suitable brush.
5. Check that there are no damaged or loose parts. Repair/
replace parts if necessary.
5.3 START
