Maintenance and care

Danger - risk of injury!

▪ Before performing any maintenance or service, 

always switch off the engine and disconnect the 

spark plug connector.

make sure that the engine is at a standstill.

„

Clean the machine after every use. Be especially 

sure to remove residual de-icing salt.

„

Do not hose down the unit with water! 

Water penetration may cause malfunctions (ignition 

system, carburettor).

„

Replace the silencer if defective.

Follow the maintenance schedule.

„

Follow the instructions in the engine manual.

Maintenance schedule

Before each use

Changing the wheel drive speed

1.  Release (disengage) the auger and wheel drive 

clutch levers  (  

38-1

).

„

Change the drive speed only when disengaged 

in order to avoid damaging the machine.

2.  Change the drive speed using the speed selector  

(

Unclogging the snow discharge chute

If snow does not discharge properly, the augers or 

the discharge chute may be clogged with snow or ice.

clutch levers  (  

38-1

).

2.  Switch off the engine.
3.  Disconnect the spark plug connector.

Carefully remove the snow from the discharge 

chute and auger using the snow cleaning tool  

(

If snow still does not discharge properly, contact a quali-

fied workshop.

Maintaining the wheel drive

Adjusting the control cable

If the wheel drive no longer engages when the engine is 

running, the control cable must be adjusted.

cable does not sag (i.e. is somewhat taut) when 

the clutch lever is pressed. Hold the cable while 

tightening so that it does not twist.

3.  Tighten the lock nut.

Check the adjustment by starting the engine and 

engaging the wheel drive.
