Operation

Oil level checks and refills

Note: The snow blower comes without oil in the engine.
The engine oil must be filled before the snow blower
is started. Engine oil capacity is 0.6 l.
Note: The engine has a combined dipstick/oil filler cap.

• Use SAE 5W-30 grade 4-stroke petrol engine oil, service
classification SG, SF.

• Remove the oil filler cap and pour in the recommended
amount of oil. Check the oil level using the dipstick – it
should be between the marks on the dipstick. Do not overfill!

Note: When checking the oil level, do not screw the cap on; just dip the stick until the cap is flush against
the opening for measuring the correct level.

Note: This engine is used for a variety of machines and has an additional filler plug which should NEVER be
used for this machine. Only use the filler cap that is on top.

IMPORTANT: The oil should be changed after the first 5 hours of use.

Preparations

• Make sure that the area being cleared is free from loose stones and foreign objects.

• Make sure that the controls are easily manoeuvrable and that they return to their original position when released.

• Disengage all controls before starting the engine.

• Plan ahead and think about where the cleared snow will be ejected in order to avoid personal injury or
property damage caused by flying objects.

• Never use the snow blower without wearing suitable clothing. Use appropriate footwear with solid traction,
especially in slippery conditions.

• Under no circumstances may maintenance and service be performed when the engine is on (unless
otherwise directed in the instruction manual).

• Always use safety glasses or a visor when operating or carrying out maintenance on the snow blower.

• Adjust the height of the auger housing so that there is enough free clearance when driving over gravel or similar.

• Let the snow blower adjust to outdoor temperatures before use.

Before use

Before switching the snow blower on, always make sure that the inner impeller can move freely and is not
jammed by any obstruction. Small stones can accumulate between the inner impeller (the impeller behind
theauger) and the drum and prevent the impeller from rotating; the impeller might also have frozen to the drum.
Ifthe inner impeller cannot rotate, the drive belt will soon wear out.

After use

Store the the snow blower tilted forwards a little so that snow and water run out and don’t collect inside
thehousing causing the impeller to freeze solid.

ENGLISH

Refuelling precautions

Note: Petrol is highly flammable.

• Use only 95 or 98 octane unleaded petrol.

• Never mix in more than 10% ethanol in the fuel.

• Store the fuel in a container that is suitable for petrol.

• Always refuel outdoors and never smoke whilst refuelling.

• Do not overfill! The fuel should come up to the fuel level mark
under the cap (see fig.).

• Fill with fuel before starting the engine. Never open the fuel cap
for filling when the engine is running or when warm.

• Replace the fuel cap securely and wipe off any spilt fuel.

Starting

Note: Check the oil and fuel levels before starting. Make sure that both the drive and auger clutch levers are released.

1. Insert the ignition key completely into the ignition. Do not turn the key, but make sure it is fully inserted.

2. Set the throttle to maximum (all the way toward the picture of the hare on the left).

3. Set the choke to the cold start position (to the right). If the engine is warm, set the choke to
the opposite position.

4. Press the primer 3–5 times. Cover the vent hole in the centre of the primer bladder when pressing it in.
In cold weather conditions the engine may need to be primed again. If the engine is warm, press
the primer once only.

7

5. Pull the starter handle slowly at first until you feel some resistance, and then give it a sharp tug to start
the engine. Do not release the handle but keep it in position and then slowly return it to its original position.

6. Once the engine has been started and is warm, slowly move the choke to its starting position (to the left).

7. If the engine should stall, restart it with the choke set in the middle position for a short time. Once the engine

ENGLISH

is running smoothly, slowly return the choke to its original position.

Safety checks

Note: Check that the auger is working properly the first time you use the snow blower and also before every
new season. Always allow for some amount of free play in the wire controlling the auger clutch.

1. Start the snow blower and depress the clutch lever. Let the auger run for about 10 seconds. Repeat this
procedure several times.

2. Release the clutch lever and inspect the auger from the front. Make sure that the auger is completely
motionless and shows no tendency of rotating.

3. If the auger is rotating or showing a tendency to rotate once the clutch lever is released, turn off the engine
and adjust the clutch control wire.

Adjust the auger drive control wire before using the snow blower for the first time

Checking and adjusting the auger drive clutch wire

The auger clutch wire is set at the factory, but it might need checking/adjusting once the handle assemblies
have been fitted to the snow blower.

Checking the operation of the clutch:

1. Start the engine. Note: The snow blower comes without oil in the engine; the oil is supplied in a separate bottle.

2. Depress the clutch lever, the auger should rotate. Switch the engine off.

3. If the auger did not rotate when the engine was on, the clutch wire needs adjusting. An incorrectly set clutch
wire will cause the drive belt to wear out quickly.

Adjust the clutch wire as follows:

1. Remove the bolts on the left hand side which hold the upper and lower
handle assemblies together, so that the clutch wire is less taut.

2. Pull up the dust boot over the wire connector plate.

3. Pull up on the bottom wire to increase wire slack in the upper wire
enabling you to remove the hook.

4. Turn the plate over and begin working the lower
s-hook loose from the plate.

5. Pull the wire taut and insert the hook down
anotch on the plate.

6. Bolt the handle assemblies together again so that the clutch wire is taut.

8

Skid shoe adjustment

• Normal use: Set the skid shoes to about ½ to 1 cm below the scraper blade.

• Hard packed snow: Set the skid shoes slightly higher (in order to lower
the scraper blade).

• Gravel or uneven surfaces: Set the skid shoes somewhat lower (in order to raise
the scraper blade).

Operation

1. Plan the area of operation and where the snow is to be removed before starting.

2. Start the engine and set the throttle to full.

3. Let the engine warm up for a few minutes to reach full power before beginning snow removal.

4. Set the gear lever to a suitable gear setting. The second forward drive gear is appropriate for most snow
removal situations.

5. Depress the auger clutch lever to begin snow removal.

6. Depress the drive clutch to engage the drive wheels and propel the snow blower forwards.
Note: Never move the gear lever while the snow blower is in motion and always release the drive clutch
before changing gears.

7. After work has been completed: Let the engine idle a few minutes before stopping it. Let the snow blower
and auger stand still in order to let most of the moisture and snow dry off.

ENGLISH

Shutting off the engine

1. Pull the throttle back completely.

2. Remove the ignition key.

3. Carefully clean the entire snow blower and move the controls back and forth to prevent them freezing
into position.

Care and maintenance

Note: Turn off the engine, remove the ignition key and remove the spark plug cable from the spark plug
before servicing, cleaning or maintenance.

Lubrication

• Regularly lubricate the gear lever and other moving parts with a few drops of motor oil and/or spray
(e.g. 5–56, WD-40). Do not over-lubricate!

• Use a type of universal grease suitable for cars and machinery on the screw end of the chute
directional crank. Do not over-lubricate!

Servicing and lubricating the auger

• The auger is equipped with shear pins that are meant to shear if the auger strikes hard compacted ice or
other foreign objects. The snow blower is supplied with extra shear pins so that they can be replaced
when needed. Note: Never substitute the shear pins with ordinary bolts. This can seriously damage
the snow blower gears if the auger jams on an obstruction.

• Unscrew the shear pins once per season and spray inside the shaft with lubricant. Also lubricate the plastic
bearings on the auger drive shaft.

9

Transmission, auger and clutch control adjustments

Checking the gear controls

Follow these procedures:

ENGLISH

1. With the engine off, move the gear lever to the highest gear (4th).
Release the drive clutch lever. The blower should now be in neutral
and free to move in both directions.

2. Depress the drive clutch lever. The blower should now be unable to
be moved forwards or backwards.

3. Release the drive clutch – you should now be able to move
the blower back and forwards freely again.

4. Move the gear lever to one end (reverse 2nd gear) and then to
the other (4th gear). You should feel no resistance in the lever and
the blower should be freely movable regardless of which gear it is in.

Adjusting the gear lever wire

The gear lever has two wires, one for each direction. Make sure that
all the gears work and that the gear lever can be easily moved to its end
points (4th forward gear and 2nd reverse gear). If adjustment is necessary,
undo the lock nut and turn the adjusting screw on one of the wires.
When one wire is lengthened the other one should be shortened by
the same amount to compensate.

Auger drive control

Adjusting the auger drive clutch wire:

1. Pull up the dust boot over the wire connector plate.

2. Pull up on the bottom wire to increase wire slack in the upper wire
enabling you to remove the hook.

3. Turn the plate over and begin working the s-hook loose from the plate.

4. Pull the wire taut and insert the hook down a notch on the plate.

5. Start the engine, check performance and adjust if necessary.

Note: If the auger does not turn when engaged then the amount of
free play in the wire is too great. Move the s-hook to a hole further down
the plate if needed.

Drive wheel clutch

Adjusting the drive wheel clutch wire:

1. If the blower has a tendency to move forward even though the clutch lever is not depressed, then the wire is
too taut. Adjust the wire so that there is some free play in it using the same procedure used for adjusting the
auger control wire described above.

2. If the blower does not move forward when the clutch lever is depressed, then the wire is too loose.
Tighten the wire by moving the s-hook down a notch on the plate as described above.

3. Test the clutch and adjust accordingly.

Cleaning and inspection

• Use the cleaning tool to remove any snow or ice clogged in the chute or around the auger.
Never use your hands!

• Inspect regularly to make sure that all bolts, nuts and screws are tight and that there is no visible damage.

• The scraper blade and skid shoes will become worn with time and will need to be replaced.
Use only original parts or parts approved by the retailer.

• Regularly check the fuel system for any visible signs of leakage at the tank, fuel cap or fuel lines.

• Never attempt to tamper with or modify the product in any way.

Changing oil

Note: Check the oil level every time the snow blower is used.
Note: The blower needs to be tilted backwards to drain out all the oil. If the tank is completely full

the fuel can run out at the fuel cap.*

1. Start the engine and run it for a few minutes to warm the oil so that it runs out easier.

2. Place an appropriate container under the drain hole to collect the oil when the drain plug (20) is removed.

3. Unscrew the plug, tip the blower backwards and empty of all oil. Bear in mind that the oil might be hot.

4. Refit the drain plug and fill with new oil. Refer to the earlier section Oil level checks and refills.
*Empty the fuel tank if it is full. The engine should be cold when the fuel tank is emptied. Do the work outside

and collect the fuel in an appropriate container. If the fuel is not to be reused, deposit it at the most appropriate
recycling centre.

Spark plug

ENGLISH

Note: Let the engine cool before unscrewing and removing the spark plug. Both the spark plug and muffler
become very hot after use. Check the spark plug before every season and replace it if necessary.

1. Remove the spark plug cable from the spark plug. Do not pull
the cable but rather grip the spark plug cap and wiggle it back and
forth to loosen it.

2. Use a spark plug spanner to remove it from its socket.

3. Check the electrodes for any visible damage and clean with a steel
brush when necessary.

4. Make sure that the electrode gap is 0.6–0.8 mm. Special tools for
gapping (feeler gauges) are available for purchase separately.

5. Try to screw the spark plug partway in by hand to make sure the
threads catch correctly. Tighten using a spark plug spanner.

6. Washers on the new spark plug must be compressed during
installation. Tighten a ½ turn extra after the spark plug is securely in
place to compress the washer and create a proper seal.

7. Turn a ¼ turn extra if you are using the existing spark plug.

Handy hint: Thread a small piece of PVC hose to the spark plug wire
end to make it easier to access when it is time to manually thread it in
the socket.

0.6–0.8 mm

Replacing the scraper blade

• Undo the 3 bolts holding the scraper blade
and remove the blade.

ENGLISH

• Attach the new blade. Make sure that all
the bolt heads are on top, inside
the auger housing.

• Use only original parts or parts approved by
the retailer.

Changing the skid shoes

• Remove the skid shoes by undoing the 2 bolts in each.

• Mount the new shoes. Make sure that all the bolt heads are on the inside of the auger housing.

• Use only original parts or parts approved by the retailer.

Long-term storage procedures (over a month)

• Empty the fuel tank when the engine is cold. Do the work outside and collect the fuel in an appropriate
container. If the fuel is not to be reused, deposit it at the most appropriate recycling centre.

• Start the engine and let it run until it is out of fuel.

• Store the snow blower in a well-ventilated area, never in an enclosed storage facility subject to
naked flames or sparks.

Changing the drive belt

Note: Before changing the drive belt, make sure that the 2nd stage of the snow feed (the impeller behind
theauger) moves freely and has not jammed.

1. Note: Remove the spark plug cap from
thespark plug and remove the ignition key.

2. Then make sure that the inner impeller (theimpeller
behind the auger) can move freely and is not jammed
by any obstruction. Small stones can accumulate
between the inner impeller and the drum and prevent
the impeller from rotating, the impeller might also have
frozen to the drum.

3. Make sure that the inner impeller is free to move before
starting the engine again, otherwise the new drive belt
will soon wear out.

12

Changing the drive belt

ENGLISH

1. Remove the two bolts holding the plastic cover
(10 mm spanner).

4. Slacken the auger drive clutch wire connected
to the left handle. Remove the s-hook from
theconnector plate.

2. Tilt the snow blower so that it stands on theauger
housing. Note: Make sure that no petrol runs out of
the petrol tank when you stand thesnow blower on
its end. Make sure that thetank is only half-full.

3. Remove the six bolts holding the protective plate
(10 mm spanner).

5. To access the drive belt the snow blower needs
to be opened up in the middle. Return the snow
blower to its normal upright position and remove the
uppermost of the two bolts just behind the impeller
housing on both sides. The two lower bolts do not
need to be removed, just loosened (13 mm spanner).

6. Tilt down the front and rear parts of the snow
blower, pivoting on the two loosened bolts
to create room for you to work on the now
exposed drive belt pulleys.

7. Squeeze the clutch lever on the right handle and
tie it down with a cable tie or similar. This moves
the drive wheel away from the belt pulley giving
you more room to work.

13

ENGLISH

8. Remove the damaged drive belt and insert a
new belt from above. Press in the belt tensioner
to allow room for the drive belt to pass over
theguide wheel/brake assembly.

10. Pass thereafter the drive belt over the upper
pulley (see fig).

11. Untie the clutch lever on the right handle and
refit the wire connected to the left handle.

12. Refit all the disassembled parts in reverse order.

13. Check the operation of the drive belt
(Transmission, auger and clutch control
adjustments in the instruction manual).

9. Pass the drive belt over the lower pulley once
the guide wheel/brake has been moved.
Note:This view is from below the snow blower.

Lubrication of the auger and replacement of the shear pins

The auger is equipped with shear pins (24) that are
meant to shear if the auger strikes hard compacted
ice or other foreign objects. The snow blower is
supplied with extra shear pins so that they can be
replaced when needed.

Note: Never substitute the shear pins with ordinary
bolts. This can seriously damage the snow blower
gears if the auger jams on an obstruction.

Unscrew the shear pins once per year and spray
theauger drive shaft and hole with oil. Also lubricate
the auger drive shaft’s plastic bearings (25).
