Insert the cap/dipstick into the filler neck and screw it in as far as it will go. Then screw the
dipstick back on.
•
Carefully pull out the dipstick. If the level is low, add oil slowly until the oil level is between the
maximum level (H) and the minimum level (L). If the engine does not start or stops unexpectedly
during operation, the oil level may be too low. Refer to the "Engine maintenance" section for
the correct oil viscosity and oil quantity.
•
Replace the oil cap and screw it tight before starting the engine.
NOTE: Do not overfill. Overfilling can lead to engine smoke, difficult starting and soiling of the spark
plug.
Milling auger adjustment
Regular adjustment of the auger timing may be necessary due to normal belt stretch and wear.
Adjustment is necessary immediately if the milling auger
a. begins to rotate with the milling worm control released.
or
b. During operation, the auger rotates slowly while the motor maintains speed.
NOTE: Carry out this test before starting the machine for the first time and at the beginning of each
winter season. Check the setting of the auger control as follows:
•
When the auger control is released, the cable should sag slightly, it must not be tight.
•
Start the snow blower in a well-ventilated area. Refer to the "Starting the engine" section of
these operating instructions. Ensure that the drive lever is in the "FAST" position.
•
When you are in the working position (behind the snow blower), start the auger.
•
Leave the auger engaged for about 10 seconds before releasing the auger control. Repeat this
several times.
•
With the motor running in the "FAST" position and the milling auger control in the released "Up"
position, run to the front of the machine.
•
Make sure that the auger is completely stopped and shows NO sign of movement.
NOTE: If the auger even begins to move, immediately return to the working position and switch off
the motor. Wait for all moving parts to stop before adjusting the auger control cable as follows:
1. Hold the protective cover firmly
and pull the cable of the worm
drive slightly until you can release
the Bowden cable from the holder
on the lever of the worm drive.
2. Move the protective cover upwards
so that the adjustment plate is
visible. Pull the upper Bowden
cable out of the lower hole in the
