5 USING THE MACHINE
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.
Always wear protective goggles or a visor during
use, maintenance and service.

BEFORE STARTING
Some snow throwers are delivered without oil in the engine's
crankcase. Oil is supplied in a separate bottle for these.
Fill the engine with oil before using.
Do not start the engine until filled with oil. The
engine can be seriously damaged without oil.
1. Place the machine on a level floor.
2. Undo the oil filler cap and pull up the dipstick. Read off
the oil level from the dipstick. Fill up the oil up to the
"FULL" mark. See fig. 1.
3. Use oil according to the table below:

Do not use SAE 10W40.
4. Always check the oil level in the engine before use. The
snow thrower must stand on level ground when checking.
The oil level should be between "ADD" and "FULL". See
figure 1. If necessary, top up with more oil.

containers that are made especially for this
purpose.
Store the petrol in a cool, well-ventilated place –
not in the house. Store the petrol well out of the
reach of children.
