6 MAINTENANCE
The electrical connection must be disconnected
before carrying out maintenance work.
6.1 BEFORE USE
• Every time the snow thrower is to be used, check that the
electrical equipment is intact and free of faults. The snow
thrower must not be used if there are any faults or if any-
thing is missing.
• Check that the auger rotates easily.
• Check that all screw joints are tightened. Tighten if nec-
essary.
• Apply silicon spray to the auger. This prevents icing.
• Check that the starting handle cannot be activated with-
out the ignition lock being moved to the left.
6.2 FAULT-TRACING
The faults described below can usually be rectified directly
by the user. If there is any doubt, contact an authorised agent.
The motor does not start:
• The electric cable is not connected or is defective.
• The fuse has blown. If a higher amp fuse needs to be in-
stalled, contact an authorised electrician.
The motor hums, but does not start:
• Auger or discharge chute blocked.
• The capacitor is defective. Contact your GGP agent.
The motor stops suddenly:
• Loose plugs.
• The overload protection has been tripped. Wait for 10
minutes, then attempt to start again.
The snow thrower vibrates:
• Loose parts.
• Defective auger.
• The motor is loose.
The snow thrower does not clear any snow:
• Auger or discharge chute blocked.
The drive belt is loose or defective.
7 STORAGE
When the snow thrower is to be stored for an extended peri-
od, such as during that part of the year when snow clearance
does not need to be carried out, the following measures must
be taken.
1. Clean the whole snow thrower thoroughly.
2. Inspect the snow thrower for damage. Repair if neces-
sary.
3. Touch up any paint damage.
4. Rust-proof unpainted metal surfaces.
5. Store the snow thrower in a clean, dry place.
