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 obstacles –
far away from cyclists and pedestrians.
Useful tips
Spray silicone inside the discharge chute
before use. This makes it smoother and so the
discharge capacity is increased.
Wipe the snap couplings before tting, as this
protects the hydraulic system.
Daily cleaning and maintenance will extend
the lifetime of both the machine and the
attachment.

tted.
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 t 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
handle 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 tting in reverse order.
Put the protective caps on the snap couplings to

Make sure there are no people or
objects which can be damaged
within 60 metres in 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.
After clearing the snow:
Let the snow blower run for a couple of minutes
after you have nished clearing the snow to make
sure no snow is left, as this can freeze up the
auger.

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.
Adjust the skid shoes on the opposite side in the
same way.
