Original instructions for use
• 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.
• Never use the snow thrower near enclosures, cars,
windowpanes, slopes etc. without properly setting the
discharge chute deflector.
• Always keep children away from areas to be cleared. Get
another adult to keep the children under supervision.
• Do not overload the machine by driving it too fast.
• Take care when reversing. Look behind you before and
during reversing to check for any obstacles.
• Never point the discharge chute towards bystanders. Do
not allow anyone to stand in front of the machine.
• Disengage the auger when the snow thrower is to be
transported or is not in use Do not drive too fast on
slippery surfaces when transporting.
• Only use accessories that are approved by the machine’s
manufacturer.
• Never drive the snow thrower in bad visibility or without
satisfactory lighting.
• Always ensure you have a good balance and a tight grip
on the handle.
• Do not touch engine components because they are warm
during use. Risk of burn injuries.
2.4 MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
• Tighten all nuts and screws so that the machine is in safe
working condition. Check the shear bolts regularly.
• Always use genuine spare parts. Non-genuine spare parts
can entail a risk of injury, even if they fit the machine.
• Never store the machine with petrol in the tank in
buildings where the fumes can come into contact with
open flames or sparks.
• Allow the engine to cool before putting the machine in
store.
• Before a long storage, check the instructions for
recommendations.
• Replace damaged warning and instruction stickers.
• Let the engine run a couple of minutes with the auger
connected after use. This prevents the auger from
freezing solid.
