5. Press down the auger clutch lever to activate the auger
and discharge fan.
Watch out for rotating auger. Keep hands, feet,
hair and loose clothing away from any moving
parts on the machine.

5.9 DRIVING TIPS
The silencer and surrounding parts become very
hot when the engine is running. Risk of burns.
1. Always run the engine on full throttle or next best.
2. Always adapt the speed to the snowy conditions.
Regulate the speed with the gear stick.
3. Snow is more effectively removed directly after falling.
4. Always throw the snow in the direction of the wind if
possible.
5. Adjust the shoes with the screws (1:H) to suit the ground
conditions:
- On flat ground, e.g. asphalt, the shoes should be about
3mm under the scraping blade.
- On uneven ground, e.g. gravel paths, the shoes should
be about 30mm under the scraping blade.
Always adjust the shoes so that gravel and stones
are not fed into the snow thrower. There is a risk
for personal injury if these are thrown out at high
speed.
Ensure the shoes are adjusted the same on both sides.
5. Adapt the speed so that the snow is thrown in an even
stream.
If snow fastens in the chute do not try to remove it
before:
- Releasing both clutch levers.
- Stopping the engine.
- Disconnecting the cable from the spark plug.
- Do not put your hand inside the chute or auger.
Use the chute clearing tool supplied.
5.10 AFTER USE
1. Check for loose or damaged parts. If required, change
damaged parts.
2. Tighten loose screws and nuts.
3. Brush all the snow from the machine.
4. Move all the controls backwards and forwards a few
times.
5. Put the choke in closed position.
6. Disconnect the starting cable from the spark plug.
Do not cover the machine while the engine and
silencer are still warm.
