7 WORK INSTRUCTIONS

■
Clear immediately after the snow has fallen
while it is still loose. Later, the lower layer be-
comes icy and makes snow clearing difficult.
■
If possible, turn the discharge channel so that
the snow is blown away in the wind direction.
■
Clear the snow so that the cleared tracks
overlap slightly.
■
If the snow is heavy and wet or very deep,
only clear half the clearing width and push
the snow blower slowly forwards. This pre-
vents clogging.
■
Before use, the wheels and the discharge
channel can be sprayed with an non-stick
spray (ski wax, Teflon, silicone) to avoid clog-
ging. Check the environmental and appliance
compatibility of the spray and comply with the
manufacturer's instructions on the label of the
spray.
■
Clean a clogged snow blower with a scraper
or stick, but never with your fingers. Com-
pletely switch off the snow blower before-
hand.

CAUTION!
Risk of injury
Sharp-edged and moving appliance
parts can lead to injury.

ing work.
