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.

Read off the oil level from the dipstick. Fill up the oil up
to the “FULL” mark. See fig. 8.
3. Use oil according to the table below:
Do not use SAE 10W40.
4. Always check the oil level in the engine before use. The
snow thrower must stand on level ground when checking.
The oil level should be between “ADD” and “FULL”. See
figure 8. If necessary, top up with more oil.
5.3 Fuel
5.3.1 General
NOTE! Ordinary lead-free petrol is a perishable. Do not buy
more petrol than can be used within 30 days.
Acrylate petrol can be used. This type of petrol has a
composition that is less harmful to people and animals.
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 the
reach of children.
5.3.2 Fuel
The snow thrower is fitted with a four-stroke engine. Always
use lead-free petrol. Oil-mixed 2-stroke petrol must not be
used.
Oil-mixed 2-stroke petrol must not be used.
5.3.3Filling
Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors, and never
smoke when filling or topping up. Fill up 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
The engine can be started manually or, on some snow
throwers, with an electric starter. Both alternatives are
described below:
The electric starter is fitted with a 220 V earthed
cable. Connections may only be made to earthed
sockets, as otherwise there is a risk of serious
personal injury or death.
When connecting, first connect to the snow
thrower.
When disconnecting, first disconnect the cable from the
property’s power socket.
