Snowplows: rules of operation and maintenance

Snowblower a useful tool, as in the case of heavy snow will quickly clear a road or area in front of the house. But buy snow tools-this is only half the battle, because it is a complicated technical device. which should be given due attention and monitor the operational status. A failure to comply with certain rules of operation can lead to expensive equipment that quickly goes down.

To the equipment worked for a long time, it is necessary to know how to use the snowblower to take care of it and keep right. Now and discuss in this article.

Types of modern snow tools

Machines for snow removal can be very different from each other in many respects. By type of actuator used, we can distinguish three main groups:

Power -this network machines that work on 220 V sockets have a simple design, it is very easy to work, does not require special maintenance. Perfect for cleaning small areas, such as near the garage or in front of the house. It copes well with fresh snow. Of the minuses-a zone of operation is limited by the length of the power cord.

Petrol -it's pretty powerful units are among the most popular. You can find a model for a country house, and there to clean the territory on an industrial scale. It is easy to cope with snow, strong drifts on the roads and highways in the mountains, etc. They can even be used for cleaning frozen, stale snow. From minuses-necessity of maintenance, gasoline engine oils require periodic replacement and other consumables.

Storage -it is also a subspecies of power, but they are not attached to the wall outlet, and work on its own battery. These snow tools more compact and lightweight, virtually no noise during operation. Duration of operation depends on the capacity of the power source used. As a rule, 36-48V battery should be enough to ensure the operation within 35-50 minutes. It is mobile and easy to use device perfectly suited for solving everyday problems for snow removal at their summer cottage or near the house. Of the minuses can be noted the high cost of such devices.

Features of preparation of gasoline snowthrower to work

If you are going to have a snow machine, before it is necessary to follow a few simple items:

• Check for fuel in the tank. This is very important, it can not be ignored when you are dealing with gasoline technology. The volume of the tank usually designed for about an hour the machine is running. Therefore, if the fuel is not present or is very short, it is necessary to start the work to pour a full tank. Otherwise, at the most inopportune moment, the device is simply not able to start.
• Check the availability of oil in the crankcase. Change the oil regularly is necessary, otherwise the snowthrower will not operate stably. The first change is usually performed after 5 hours. Then it must be done at least once in 20-50 hours. The exact figure is usually indicated by the manufacturer in the instructions.
• Check whether the tightly secured additional skiing ladle. Also look at what height they are exposed. It is important to check in advance that at the exit to the street not to damage the equipment.
• Check the status of the territory, which will clean up. It is important to check that there were no large stones protruding branches, metal bars and other objects that could cause damage to the screw.

Once you have verified that the equipment is in the ready and fully working order, you can begin to snow removal.

How to use the snowthrower gasoline

Before starting the gasoline engine you first need to open the fuel valve, and adjust the number of turns to open the choke. To make the most of all recommend properly before use make sure to read the instructions.

In order to ensure fast and successful start-up it is necessary to use a special pump for pumping fuel. If your model is not equipped with an automatic feeding system, then you must manually swap, it is recommended to make a few strokes, and for the heated and it will be enough one-touch cold engine.

To the engine served for a long time and regularly, immediately after starting it must be a bit warm. This will allow to align the momentum and stabilize its operation.

Remember that the easiest way to clean the fresh snow. Therefore, it is best taken for the cleaning of snow early in the morning the night before the snow cover is not caked and become very hard. Of course, a powerful screw with durable steel teeth can cope with the already long-standing snow. But even in this case, you have to be careful, because there is still a risk of damaging the shear bolt if the snow mass will be very severe.

How to use the electric snowthrower

If petrol units require some training before starting work, the electrically in this respect is much more convenient and easier. They do not require complex preparation, the assembled structure is sufficient to include in the network and click on the Start button.

However, there are a few things that still need to be taken into account:

• check the area for the presence of foreign objects, twigs, stones, etc. Before starting the engine,
• Check cable continuity, exploitation techniques with a damaged power cord is prohibited.
• If you are going to use a carrier, then you only need to take the high-quality models, with a sturdy wire, which has a sufficient cross-section. Thin cables can overheat.
• Connect snowthrower should be only a stable network. Power surges can cause the engine and the car just burn fails.
• If you are using a battery-device, before starting work, check the battery level, as a rule, a special indicator for this is provided. If he is not, the first thing the battery should be recharged or exchanged for another, which is fully charged (of course, this is only possible if you have in stock is an additional power supply).

How to store snow machines

We've covered operational features of different types of snowplows. Obviously, the electric model is easier to use and operate than they're gasoline to collect. But in addition to care, there is another very important stage-storage, which can be:

• seasonal -takes place in the winter, when the snow removal machine is used on a regular basis;
• mid-season -is the period from spring till late autumn, when the equipment is not used, then there is in caretaker status.

As a rule, zealous owners before putting away the unit in a garage or shed in the long-term storage clean car, here in seasonal operation this point many ignore. And for good reason. To snowthrower worked for a long time, it is important to monitor his condition and perform a number of actions, each time after use. Among them:

• A mandatory cleaning from snow. Before you take the car to the room, all traces of dirt and snow should be removed. And no matter where you are using the device again-tomorrow, next week or next year. The technique should always be kept clean and dry. And this requirement applies to all types of vehicles.
• Storage on the street. This option is allowed only during the seasonal operation, the machines have to be covered with a special cover, which provides protection against dirt and moisture.
• Storage in the garage, basement, shed, etc. This embodiment is suitable for long-term storage in the off-season. It is important to bear in mind that the room should be clean and dry. With technology, it is necessary to remove the deflector.
• Drain gasoline. This only applies to gasoline models. Before you send the snowthrower for long term storage, it is necessary to drain the tank all the remaining fuel. Oil can also be drained, but not necessarily.
• Remove the battery. This paragraph applies only to the battery snowthrower. This must be done to ensure that in the long period of inactivity electrolyte does not drip. Also, do not forget that the battery should be recharged from time to time, so it does not lose its capacity.
