5.2

BEFORE STARTING

Some snow throwers are delivered without oil in the engine.
Fill the engine with oil before using. The oil is supplied in a
separate bottle.
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. Loosen the dipstick and fill with oil up to the FULL mark
(fig. 7).
3. Use good quality oil marked A.P.I service SF, SG or SH.
Use SAE 5W30 - 10W40 oil.
4. The crankcase holds: 0.8 litres.
Always check the oil level before using. The snow thrower
must stand on level ground when checking.
5.3 FILL UP THE PETROL TANK
Always use lead-free petrol. Oil-mixed 2-stroke petrol must
not be used.
NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary lead-free petrol is
perishable; do not purchase more petrol than can be used
within thirty days.
Environmental petrol can be used, i.e. alkylate petrol. This
type of petrol has a composition that is less harmful for
people and nature.
Petrol is highly inflammable. Always store fuel in
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 reach
for children.
Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors, and never
smoke when filling or topping up. Fill with fuel
before starting the engine. Never remove the filler
cap or fill with petrol while the engine is running
or still warm.
Do not fill the petrol tank right to the top. After filling, screw
the filler cap on tightly and wipe up any spilt petrol.
5.4 STARTING THE ENGINE (WITHOUT
ELECTRICAL START)
Do not touch engine components because they are
warm during use. Risk of burn injuries.
Never run the machine indoors. The exhaust
fumes contain carbon monoxide, a very toxic gas.
1. Make sure the driving and auger clutch levers are
disengaged (fig. 1).
2. Open the fuel cock (6 in fig. 1).
3. Push the throttle to position
4. Put in the ignition key. Ensure it clicks tight. Do not turn
the key!
5. Turn the choke to position
