2. Set the ignition key (1:A) to the "ON" position.
3. Set the choke (1:F) to the closed position.
Note: A warm engine does not need the choke.

hole in the bulb is covered when it is pressed in.
Note: Do not use this function when the engine is warm.
5. Pull out the starter handle slowly (1:B) until you feel re-
sistance. Start the engine with a sharp pull.

open.
5.5 STARTING THE ENGINE WITH ELECTRICAL
START
Never touch the engine components. They are very
hot during use and for up to 30 minutes after use.
Never run the engine indoors. The exhaust fumes
contain carbon monoxide, a very toxic gas.
1. Connect the cable between the snow thrower electrical
socket (1:O) and a 220/230 volt earthed wall socket. An
earth fault breaker must be used.
2. Check that the auger control (1:D) is not activated.
3. Set the ignition key (1:A) to the "ON" position.
4. Set the choke (1:F) to the closed position.
Note: A warm engine does not need the choke.
5. Press the rubber bulb (1:E) 2 or 3 times. Make sure the
hole in the bulb is covered when it is pressed in.
Note: Do not use this function when the engine is warm.
6. Starting the engine:
A. Press the start button (1:N) to activate the starter mo-
tor.
B. When the engine starts, release the start button and
open the choke slowly.
C. If the engine stutters, close the choke immediately
and gradually open it again.
D. First pull out the extension lead from the socket. Then
remove the extension lead from the engine.
Note: To avoid damaging the electric start, make start at-
tempts where the button is held in for 5 seconds and then
released for 5 seconds. If the engine does not start after
10 attempts, allow it to cool for at least 40 minutes before
making a new attempt. If the engine still does not start,
contact an authorised service station.
7. When the engine has started, reset the choke until it is ful-
ly open.
5.6 SAFETY TEST
This machine is equipped with several mechanical safety
systems, designed to keep the operator safe while using the
unit.
After starting and before use of the machine, it is essential
to perform the safety test below.
If the unit fails to operate as described, DO NOT operate it.
In this case, contact an authorised workshop for repair.
Auger test
1. The engine shall be running.
2. Pull up the auger lever and the auger shall rotate.
3. Release the auger lever and the auger shall stop within 5
seconds.
5.7 STOPPING
1. Release the clutch handle (1:D). Note: If the auger con-
tinues rotating - see 7.1 below.
2. Set the ignition key (1:A) to the "OFF" position.
5.8 OPERATION
1. Start the engine as above. Let the engine run a few min-
utes to warm before use.
2. Set the chute deflector.
3. Adjust the discharge chute so that the snow is ejected in
the direction in which the wind is blowing.
4. Activate the auger by pulling up the clutch lever.
Watch out for the rotating auger. Keep hands, feet,
hair and loose clothing away from any moving
parts on the machine.
5. Slide the snow thrower forward and eject the snow.
5.9 DRIVING TIPS
The silencer and surrounding parts become very
hot when the engine is running. Risk of burns.
1. Always adapt the speed to the snowy conditions.
2. Snow is more effectively removed directly after falling.
3. Always throw the snow in the direction of the wind if
possible.
4. 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:
- Stopping the engine.
- Disconnecting the cable from the spark plug.
- Do not put your hand inside the chute or auger.
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.
