BEFORE STARTING

The connection cable and its plugs
must be fault free and approved for out-
door use.
The connection cable may only be con-
nected to power sockets equipped with
an earth leakage circuit breaker with a
trip current of max. 30 mA.
The connection cable must be sus-
pended on the cable support. Otherwise
there is a risk of damage alongside the
plug which is potentially life-threatening.
If the connector cable is damaged, it
must be replaced with a special cable or
assembly, available from the manufac-
turer or the technical assistance service.
Using an extension flex, connect the snow thrower
to a power socket in the building:
• Insert the extension flex into the special sup-
port (1:E) and connect the plug (1:D).

OPERATING TIPS

1. Clear away the snow immediately after snow-
fall.
2. Go over the cleared areas again to remove
any residual snow.
3. If possible expel snow in a downwind direc-
tion.
4. For safety and to prevent damage to the
snow thrower, keep the area to be cleared
free of stones, toys and other foreign objects.
5. The effectiveness of the snow thrower de-
pends on the thickness and density of the
snow. Learn how the snow thrower works in
different snow conditions.

7.6.1 Dry and normal snow

Snow up to 15 cm deep can be removed quickly
and easily by clearing at an even speed. Plan for
downwind discharge of the snow.
