To get a good result
•
Always run the engine at full throttle or near full
throttle.
•
Always adapt the speed of the product to the snow
situation and adjust the speed with the drive speed
control lever. Make sure that the product throws
snow evenly.
•
It is easier and more efficient to remove snow
immediately after it falls.
•
Always throw snow downwind whenever possible.
•
On flat surfaces, like asphalt roads, raise the skid
plates up to 5-6 mm (0.2-0.25 in) off the ground.
•
The scraper bar is reversible. When it becomes worn
almost to the edge of the housing, reverse it.
Replace the scraper bar if it is damaged, or if both
sides are worn.
•
Do not dispatch the chute deflector if it is clogged.
•
If the product does not move forward due to
unforeseen circumstances, release the drive
engagement immediately or move the ON/OFF key
to the "OFF" position.
