1. Place the auger extension on the
upper part of the auger, as indicated
in the figure (fig. 12.A).
2. Insert the screws and the nuts in the
holes and tighten them (fig. 12.B).
4.7 LEVELLING SHOES
The shoes are used to adjust the
distance between the auger and the
ground, to protect the auger.
The machine is supplied with 2 types of shoes:
• metallic shoes: to be used when
operating on hard or uneven surfaces,
that may damage the shoes, for example
asphalt or gravel paths (fig. 16.B).
• plastic shoes: to be used when operating
on softer surfaces that do not damage the
shoes, such as gardens or alleys (fig.16.C).
To mount them:
1. Loosen the screws (fig. 16.A).
Raise / lower the shoes (fig. 16.B, 16.C).
2. Fasten the screws.
Check that the shoes are adjusted at
the same level on both sides.
5. CONTROLS
5.1 IGNITION KEY
Used to start and stop the engine. The
ignition key has two positions (fig. 15.A):
1. Key removed - OFF - the engine
stops and cannot be started.
2. Key inserted - ON - the engine
can be started and operated.
IMPORTANT The engine will not start
if the safety key is not completely inserted.
On certain models, the key must also be
turned clockwise to allow starting.
5.2 FUEL TAP
Opening the fuel tap allows the
fuel supply (fig. 15.B).
1. counter-clockwise - open.
2. clockwise - closed.
5.3 THROTTLE COMMAND
Regulates the engine's r.p.m.
The positions indicated on the plate
correspond to a (fig. 15.C):
1. Full capacity. To be used always
when starting the machine
and during operation.
2. Minimum. it is used when
the engine is warm enough
during stationary phases.
3. Stop position (if available).
The machine stops immediately.
4. Intermediary position (if
available). Moving the throttle
lever toward the hare/turtle, the
speed can be increased/reduced
and the suitable speed for the work
requirements can be selected
(high snow, uneven ground, etc.).
5.4 CHOKE COMMAND
It is used to cold start the engine. The choke
control features two positions (fig. 15.D):
The choke is engaged (for cold start).
The choke is disengaged (normal
operation and warm start).
5.5 PRIMER
By pressing the primer rubber control, fuel is
injected in the carburettor's intake manifold,
facilitating thus the engine cold start (fig. 15.L).
5.6 MANUAL STARTING GRIP
Allows the engine to be started
by hand (fig. 15.H).
5.7 ELECTRICAL START COMMAND
Allows the engine to be started electrically
(fig. 15.M) when the machine is connected
to the mains through the specific three-pole
plug equipped with grounding (fig. 15.G).
5.8 FORWARD CONTROL
Allows moving the machine forward.
