Winters in Russia are frosty, which is often accompanied by a lot of snow. This makes the children very happy and does not please the owners of impressive personal plots at all. It is not surprising, because in order to clear a small courtyard of a private house from snow, with the help of a shovel, it will take a lot of time and physical strength. Even in a small area, snowplows can handle this better.
Modern snow blower is light and easy to operate. The self-propelled snow blower moves by itself, and you only need to control its movement without any additional effort. Its main working body is an auger (spiral shaft), in fact, it captures snow.
You have already chosen and purchased a snow blower, then we will tell you how to use it.
When using complex equipment, be extremely careful and follow the safety rules:
Do not allow people who have not reached 16 years of age.
Keep track of your work area. Make sure there are no pets around, especially children.
Wear clothes and shoes appropriate for the weather. Do not wear clothing that could get caught in moving parts.
Do not run the engine indoors.
The tank of the snow blower is filled with flammable liquid, so refuel outdoors and with the engine turned off.
Use a snow blower during daylight hours.
Be careful when working on uneven surfaces and moving backwards.
Before starting work, you need to prepare a snow blower. Preparation of equipment is an integral part when working with complex equipment.
We check the device for mechanical damage and the reliability of fastening bolts and nuts.
Adjust the stop shoes before first use.
Clear the work area of foreign objects and debris.
Refill the fuel tank and check the oil level.
If necessary, adjust the drive of the wheels and the auger, as well as the gearshift lever.
In difficult weather conditions, install chains on the wheels.
Adjust the distance and direction of snow throw.
Check tire pressure.
Make sure that the safety devices are working, this will save you from injury.
If you have fully prepared the equipment, you can get to work.
We start the engine. Start driving only with a well-warmed engine.
Set the gearshift lever to the desired position.
Press and hold auger drive lever.
Press and hold the wheel drive lever while the auger drive lever is locked. As a result, the snow blower starts to move forward.
To change the speed of movement, it is necessary to release the wheel drive lever and set the speed lever to the desired position.
Some models of snow blowers are equipped with an automatic wheel lock system, which greatly facilitates work and improves maneuverability.
When working on the slopes, move only in the direction up and down, with a slope of no more than 200.
When working on a flat surface, a cut knife and wheel should be at the same level. If the knife is installed above, then in the process of movement the snow will be thrown under the snowman, if below, the knife will wear out more strongly.
On an icy surface and with a large amount of snow, both snow -offers should be rigidly mounted on the drive axis.
After the end of the work, let the snowman work at idle to remove the remaining snow from the rotor of the screw and the gutter.
Remove the key and remove the high -voltage wire from the spark plugs.
Cleaning must be done immediately after the end of work, in order to avoid fruits of moving parts. Before putting the snowman for storage, let the engine completely cool down.
