1. General information
The Snow Blower is a tool for dealing with large
volumes of snow and quickly deals with up to
50 cm of snow in a working width of 1 metre.
It can plough through snowdrifts and send the
snow wherever you wish via the hydraulically
adjustable discharge chute.
The Snow Blower is very powerful and can
throw snow high up over hedges or other obsta-
cles – far away from cyclists and pedestrians.
Useful tips
Spray silicone inside the discharge chute before
use. This makes it smoother and so the dis-
charge capacity is increased.
Wipe the snap couplings before fitting, as this
protects the hydraulic system.
Daily cleaning and maintenance will extend the
lifetime of both the machine and the attachment.

1. General information
1.1 Safety
N.B!
As it is articulated, the rear end of the
machine swings out when turning.
Make sure that no one is standing near the
machine while it is in use. (Picture 1)
Make sure no one is
standing too close to the
machine while it is in use:
Make sure that no one is near the machine
while it is in use as there is a danger of
crushing.
Make sure there are no people or objects
which can be damaged within 60 metres of
the discharge direction. There can be
things hidden in the snow which can be
ejected at high speed, with subsequent
risks of serious injury or damage.
Inspect the working area:
The working area must be inspected
carefully before snow clearing is started, for-
eign elements can be very dangerous if
they are discharged with the snow.
Warning! Rotating parts!
Make sure that no one puts their fingers or
toes into the Snow Blower while it is running,
to avoid personal injuries. (Pictures 2 - 4)
Make sure that no one puts their hands or
any objects into the discharge chute when
the Snow Blower is running, to avoid
injuries. (Picture 2)

Prevent people from standing
in the working area.

1. General information
Avoid crushing fingers
Keep your hands and fingers away from
areas where there is a danger of crushing.
Stop the machine before
servicing the Snow Blower:
No form of service whatsoever may be car-
ried out on the Snow Blower while the
machine is running.
Avoid roll-overs:
Do not drive the machine in a place where it
can slide, tip or roll. Do not drive on slopes
with an incline of more than 10°. (Picture 1)
Reduction of noise and
energy consumption:
It is recommended not to drive with a higher
engine speed than necessary, to reduce the
noise and the energy consumption.
Avoid damage to your hearing:
Use approved hearing protectors while the
machine is in use. (Picture 2)

2. Instructions for use
2.1 Assembly / Disassembly
1. Make sure to keep the hydraulic hoses clear and
free from dirt when the Snow Blower is being fitted.
2. The locking handle on the A-frame of the basic
machine must be in the open position. (Picture 1)
3. Drive the basic machine right up to the A-frame of
the Snow Blower, so the A-frames fit into each other.
4. Raise the A-frame with lever A until the Snow Blower
is freely suspended above the ground. (Picture 2)
5. Lock the Snow Blower in place with the locking han-
dle on the A-frame. (Picture 1)
6. Stop the machine. (See the operator’s manual for
the basic machine, section 2.2)
7. Fit the hydraulic hoses for turning the discharge
chute to the B-connectors. (Picture 2)
8. Fit the hydraulic hoses for rotating the auger to the
D-connectors. (Picture 3)
9. Attach the hydraulic hoses with the rubber ring
under the running board to ensure it runs correctly
over the screen. (Picture 4)
Disassembly:
Follow the procedure for fitting in reverse order. Put
the protective caps on the snap couplings to protect
them from dirt.

2. Instructions for use
2.2. Before start-up
During transport lock the Snow Blower in the raised
position with the transport lock. (Picture 1)
2.3 Start-up
1. The angle of discharge is altered manually by
changing the angle of the upper part of the dis-
charge chute; stop the machine before changing
the angle. (Picture 2)
2. Start the machine. (See the operator’s manual for
the basic machine, section 2.2)
3. Lower the Snow Blower by pushing lever A down to
position 2 and holding it there for approximately 2 sec-
onds; the Snow Blower is now in a floating position
and follows the contours of the ground. (Picture 3)
4. Turn the discharge chute using lever B until it is in
the required position. (Picture 3)
5. Start the auger by pushing lever D up to position 1.
(Picture 4)
6. Adjust your driving speed so that the Snow Blower
can deal with the snow.

After clearing the snow:
Let the Snow Blower run for a couple of minutes
after you have finished clearing the snow to make
sure no snow is left, as this can freeze up the auger.
2.4 Adjustment
Adjusting the intake height:
Adjust the skid shoe to the correct height above the
ground. Stones and pebbles can cause damage
both to the machine and to other things.
1. Unscrew the nuts and bolts which hold the skid shoe.
2. Reattach the skid shoe at the required height.
Repeat the procedure on the other skid shoe.
