6.3 START-UP / OPERATION

The auger starts to rotate when
the snow thrower starts. Keep people
a safe distance away and check
the auger is not touching stones or
objects that could be launched.
6.3.1 Departure
1. Tilt the snow thrower slightly back and
lift the auger slightly off the ground.
2. Press and keep the starter lever
release pressed (fig. 8.C).
3. To start, pull the starter lever (fig. 8.B).
4. Release the starter lever.
If the auger is blocked, do not
attempt to operate the motor.
The machine is equipped with an automatic
"Motor save" protection when inserted, wait
a few minutes before re-starting the machine.
6.3.2 Operation
Lower the auger towards the ground
and start to remove snow.
Always stop the motor before
proceeding with release operations.
6.4 STOP
To stop the machine, release
the starter lever (fig. 8.B).
IMPORTANT If you have to leave
the machine, remove the battery.

6.5 ADVICE FOR OPERATION

• Snow is removed more easily when it
is still fresh. Pass back over the already
cleared zones to remove snow residue.
• If possible, clear the snow in the direction
of the wind. Check the distance and the
direction of the removed snow jet.
• In strong winds, lower the deflector to
direct the discharged snow towards the
ground, reducing the likelihood of the wind
transporting the snow to the wrong areas.
• Once you have finished work, leave the
machine running for a few minutes to prevent
ice from forming in the discharge chute.
6.5.1 Dry and normal snow
Snow up to 20 cm can be quickly removed
by proceeding to evenly clear it away. For
deeper or built up snow, reduce the speed
and let the machine work at its own rhythm.
6.5.2 Wet or compact snow
Slowly move forward. Avoid using the lower
blade to remove compact snow and ice.
IMPORTANT Heavy use of the machine
with wet or compact snow can cause
faults to the auger compartment.

6.6 AFTER OPERATION

• Open the battery housing hatch (fig. 7).
Battery 48 V
• Press the retainer tab in the battery and
remove it from the compartment (Fig. 7).
Battery 80 V
• Press the retainer tab in the battery
compartment and remove the battery (Fig. 7).
• Clean the remaining snow on the
machine with a brush (par. 8.2).
• Move all the controls forward
and back a few times.
• Tighten any nuts and bolts that are
loosened during operation.
• Check there are no loose or damaged
components. If necessary, replace
the damaged components.
Do not cover the machine
when the motor is still warm.
7. BATTERY RECHARGING
AND MANAGEMENT
• The battery must be stored in places
with temperatures between 7°C and
40°C. If the machine is stored in places
that could exceed these threshold, it is
recommended to remove the battery and
store it in a more suitable location.
• During use, the battery is protected
against total drainage with a protective
device that switches off the machine
and stops it from working.
• The battery is equipped with a guard that
inhibits recharging if the environmental
temperature is not between 0 and +45 °C.
• The battery can be recharged at any time,
even partially, with no risk of damaging it.
Check the battery charge status
To check the condition of the battery
charge status, press the small button (fig.
