START-UP

DANGER
The start-up of the snow thrower initiates the
rotation of the impeller. Keep people a safe
distance away and check the impeller is not
touching stones or objects that could be launched.
1. Open the hatch for accessing the battery
compartment (Fig. 10.A) and insert the battery
by pushing it in until you hear the "click" that
locks it in place, ensuring the electrical
contact.
2. Insert the ignition key (Fig. 10.B).
3. Press the release button (Fig. 7.A).
4. Pull the starter lever (Fig. 7.B).
CAUTION
If the impeller is blocked, do not attempt to operate
the motor.
The machine is equipped with an automatic
"Motor save" protection; when inserted, wait for a
few minutes before re-starting the machine.

7.6 HELPFUL TIPS

• Snow is removed more easily when it is still
fresh. Go over already cleared areas to remove
snow residues.
• If possible, clear the snow in the direction of the
wind. Check the distance and the direction of
the removed snow jet.
• Once you have finished work, leave the machine
running for a few seconds to prevent ice from
forming.
• In strong winds, lower the deflector to direct the
discharged snow towards the ground, reducing
the likelihood of the wind transporting the snow
to the wrong areas.
7.6.1 Dry and normal snow
Snow up to 20 cm can be quickly removed by
proceeding to evenly clear it away. For deeper
or built up snow, reduce the speed and let the
machine work at its own rhythm.
7.6.2 Wet or compact snow
Slowly move forward. Avoid using the lower blade
to remove compact snow and ice.
CAUTION
Using the machine for long periods of time in
wet, compacted snow may cause damage to the
impeller housing.
DANGER
The motor could be very hot immediately after
switching off. Do not touch.

7.7 AFTER OPERATION
