USE

Intended use
The snowblower is intended to clear snow from paths and garage drives, etc. The snow should not be deeper than 25 cm.

Before use
Check the following before using the machine:

• The power source must match the voltage on the type plate.
• Check before using for the first time that all the screws on the snowblower are screwed tight and that the rubber pads are fitted the right way.

   FIG. 3

2. Press the motor brake while holding the start inhibitor pressed in.

3. The snowblower starts when the motor brake is pressed in.

4. The snowblower stops when the motor brake is released.

Adjusting the ejection angle
The ejection length can be adjusted with the control for the ejection angle. The ejection length increases when the control for the ejection angle is moved up. The ejection length reduces when the control for the ejection angle is moved down. Adjust the control for the ejection angle by first releasing the knob on the side of the ejector. Tighten the knob again after setting the required angle.
FIG. 4

WARNING!
This adjustment must only be done when the snowblower is disconnected from the mains.

Adjusting the ejection direction
The ejection direction can be adjusted by turning the control as follows:
– Turn clockwise to align the ejector to the left.
– Turn anticlockwise to align the ejector to the right.
FIG. 5

WARNING!

• Do not overload the motor when using the machine.
• Pay attention to other persons, windows and obstructions. Concealed objects in the snow can result in personal injury.

Overload protection

MAINTENANCE

WARNING!
Before checking, cleaning and maintaining the snowblower it must be switched off and unplugged from the mains. Wait until the rotor has come to a complete standstill.

• Prevent mechanical problems by properly maintaining the snowblower before, during and after each season.
• The rubber pads on the rotor that throw up the snow are wearing parts and must be regularly checked.
• Check the shear pins and bolts to ensure that the machine is safe to use.
• Always follow the instructions when putting the snowblower into storage.
• Allow the snowblower to run for a few minute after clearing the snow so that the moving parts do not freeze up.

Storage
At the end of the winter season the snowblower should be put away in a safe place:
– Out of the reach of children.
– Where the temperature and humidity do not fluctuate too often or too much.
– Where the snowblower is not exposed to direct sunlight.
