Fuelling
Fill with 95 or 98 octane unleaded petrol following theFuelling precautions procedures described above.
Start
Note: Check theoil and fuel levels before starting.
1. Insert theignition key completely into
theignition. The key can not be turned,
butmake sure it is fully inserted.
2. Make sure thechoke is set to
coldstart mode. Donot use thechoke
if theengine is warm.
3. Push theprimer bladder 3 times. Coverthevent hole in thecentre of theprimer bladder when pushing.
Incold weather conditions theengine may need to be primed again. Iftheengine is warm, press
theprimeronce.
4. Slowly pull thestarter handle until you feel some resistance. Use aquick and powerful motion when pulling
thehandle to start. Donot release thehandle but keep it in position and then return it to its original position.
5. Once theengine has been started and is warm, slowly move thechoke to its starting position.
6. If theengine should stall, restart it with thechoke set in themiddle position for ashort time. Oncetheengine
is stable, slowly return thechoke to its original position.
Operation
1. Plan thearea of operation and where thesnow is to be removed before starting.
2. Clasp theclutch lever and bring it in towards thehandle to begin snow clearance and start thefeed screw.
3. Release thelever to stop.
Note: Since thesnow blower is driven by thefeed screw and has no power to thewheels, it may be
necessary to lift thehandle somewhat to allow thefeed screw to have better contact with thesurface.
Depending on thesurface, it may also be necessary to push themachine forward somewhat to achieve
forward progress.
4. Push thehandle down somewhat to lift thefeed screw from thesurface when backing or stopping.
5. To turn off theengine, remove theignition key.
