5.1 GENERAL
Never start the engine until all the above measures under
'ASSEMBLY' have been carried out.
Never use the snow thrower without first reading
and understanding the enclosed instructions and
all the warning and instruction stickers on the
snow thrower and in these instructions.
Always wear protective goggles or a visor during
use, maintenance and service.
5.2 BEFORE STARTING
The connection cable and its plugs must be fault
free and approved for outdoor use.
The connection cable may only be connected to
power sockets equipped with an earth leakage cir-
cuit breaker with a trip current of max. 30 mA.
The connection cable must be suspended on the ca-
ble support. Otherwise there is a risk of damage
alongside the plug which is potentially life-threat-
ening.
Connect the snow thrower with the electric cable from the
property's power socket.
Suspend the cable on the cable support (1:B) and connect to
the connector (1:J).
