Preparing the motor
WARNING! Never store the snow blower with petrol in the tank in a closed room or in a poorly
ventilated place where petrol vapours could reach an open flame, an ignition spark or a pilot light
such as water heaters, heaters, dryers, etc.
NOTE: It is important to prevent rubber deposits in the main fuel components such as the
carburettor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage.
CAUTION: Fuels with added alcohol (e.g. ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture. This can lead to
separation and the formation of acids during storage. Acidic fuel can damage the fuel system during
storage.
To avoid engine problems, the tank system should be emptied if the machine is to be stored for 30
days or more. Follow the instructions to prepare your snow blower for storage.
WARNING! Drain the fuel into a canister outside enclosed spaces, away from naked flames.
Ensure that the engine is cold. Do not smoke. Remaining petrol can lead to starting problems in
warm weather.
•
Leave the engine running until the tank is empty and it stops due to lack of fuel.
•
Remove the spark plugs and pour 30ml of oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole.
Cover the hole with a rag and turn the engine a few times to distribute the oil. Refit the spark
plug.
Preparing the snow blower
•
If the snow blower is stored in an unventilated place or in a metal shed, care should be taken to
ensure that the equipment is resistant to rust. Use a light oil or silicone to treat the device,
especially chains, springs, bearings and cables.
•
Remove any dirt from the engine and system.
•
Follow the lubrication recommendations in the "Maintenance" section of these operating
instructions.
•
Store the appliance in a clean, dry place.
Lubrication
•
Lubricate the axle points on the auger control and the drive control with light oil once a season.
Milling worm axle
Remove the shear pins from the milling auger axle at least once a season, spray lubricant into the
axles, around the bushes and flange bearings at the end of the axle. See picture
