Resumen del manual
If the engine still fails to start, repeat the above steps or use the electric starter. SNOW THROWING TIPS • Always operate the snow thrower with the engine at full throttle. Full throttle offers the best performance. • Go slower in deep, freezing or heavy wet snow. Use the drive speed control, NOT the throttle, to adjust speed. • It is easier and more efficient to remove snow im me di ate ly after it falls. • The best time to remove snow is the early morning. At this time the snow is usually dry and has not been exposed to the direct sun and warming tem pera tures. • Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all snow will be removed. • Throw snow downwind whenever possible. • Adjust the skid plates to proper height for current snow con di tions. See “TO ADJUST SKID PLATES” in this section of this manual. • For extremely heavy snow, re duce the width of snow removal by overlap ping previous path and moving slowly. • Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This will help air flow and extend engine life. • After snow-throwing is completed, allow engine to run for a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine. • Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use. BEFORE STOPPING Run the engine for a few minutes to help dry off any moisture on the engine. To avoid possible freeze-up of the starter, proceed as follows: 13 WARNING: Do not operate snow thrower if weather conditions im pair visibility. Throwing snow dur ing a heavy, windy snowstorm can blind you and be hazardous to the safe operation of the snow thrower. 14 MAINTENANCE GENERAL RECO M MEND A TIONS LUBRICATION CHART The warranty on this snow thrower does not cover items that have been sub ject ed to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain snow thrower as in struct ed in this manual. Some ad just - ments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your snow thrower. All adjustments in the Service and Ad just ments section of this manual should be checked at least once each season. • Once a year, you should replace the spark plug and check belts for wear. A new spark plug will help your engine run better and last longer. • Follow the maintenance schedule in this manual. NOTE: Use only Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts to service this unit. Failure to do so can cause the unit to malfunction and pose a risk of injury to the operator. BEFORE EACH USE 1. Check engine oil level. 2. Check for loose fasteners. 3. Check controls to be sure they are functioning properly. LUBRICATION Keep your snow thrower well lubricated (See “LU BRI CA TION CHART”). . SAE 30 Motor Oil . See “ENGINE” in Maintenance section . Engine oil . Pivot points SNOW THROWER Always observe the safety rules when performing any main te nance. TIRES • Maintain proper air pressure in both tires (See “PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS” section in this manual). • Keep tires free of gasoline and oil, which can harm rubber. NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent fl at tires due to slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and cor ro sion. MAINTENANCE V-BELTS Check V-belts for deterioration and wear after every 50 hours of operation and replace if necessary. The belts are not ad just able. Replace belts if they begin to slip from wear. (See “TO REMOVE BELT COVER” in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual). The V-belts on your snow thrower are of special con struc tion and should be replaced by original equipment manu factur er (OEM) belts avail able from your nearest dealer. Using other than OEM belts can cause personal injury or damage to the snow thrower. AUGER GEAR CASE • The gear case was filled with lubricant to the proper level at the factory. The only time the lubricant needs attention is if service has been performed on the gear case. • If lubricant is required, use only Ronex ED #1 grease. TRACTION DRIVE SYSTEM DO NOT lubricate the drive components inside the snow thrower. The sprockets, hex shafts, drive disc and friction wheel require no lubrication. The bearings and bushings are lifetime lubricated and require no maintenance. CAUTION: Any lubricating of the above com po nents can cause contamination of the friction wheel and damage to the drive system of your snow thrower. ENGINE See engine manual. LUBRICATION Use only high quality detergent oil rated with API service classification SF-SJ. Select the oil's SAE viscosity grade according to your expected operating temperature. NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.) improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils will result in increased oil consumption when used above 32°F. Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil. Change the oil after every 50 hours of operation or at least once a year if the snow thrower is not used for 50 hours in one year. ...
