To Use The Throttle Control; To Use The Choke Control; To Prevent Freeze-Up After Use; To Adjust The Skid Plates - Jonsered ST2261e Operator's Manual

To use the throttle control

• Push the throttle control to change the amount of
fuel used. Always operate the engine at full throttle.
SLOW

To use the choke control

• Turn the choke counterclockwise to open the choke
valve. Use the choke to start a cold engine.

To adjust the skid plates

No adjustment is required for normal installation.
1. When the lock nut (B) is loose or the skid plate (A) is
not high enough from the ground, unlock the lock nut
(B) with a 13 mm open-ended wrench, to move the
skid plate up or down.
2. On flat surfaces, like asphalt roads, raise the skid
plates (A) 5-6 mm (0.2-0.25 in) off the ground. On
uneven surfaces, like gravel roads, make the
clearance between the ground and the product
larger with the skid plates to get the scraper bar
above the top of the gravel. Make sure that the
gravel and stones do not enter into the product. It
can cause personal injuries if objects are ejected at
high speed.

To prevent freeze-up after use

Note Controls and moving parts can be blocked by ice.
Do not apply much force to the controls. If you cannot
operate a control or a part, start the engine and let it
operate for some minutes.
1. Start the engine and let it operate for some minutes.
Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Remove snow and loose ice from the product.
3. Remove snow and loose ice from the base of the
chute.
4. Turn the chute deflector to the left direction and to
the right direction to remove ice and water.
5. Set the key to the "OFF" position.
6. If the product does not have an electric starter, pull
the starter rope handle several times to remove ice
and water.
7. If the product has an electric starter, connect the
product to power and push the start button once to
remove ice and water.
To get a good result
• Always run the engine at full throttle or near full
throttle.
• Always adapt the speed of the product to the snow
situation and adjust the speed with the drive speed
control lever. Make sure that the product throws
snow evenly.
• It is easier and more efficient to remove snow
immediately after it falls.
• Always throw snow downwind whenever possible.
• On flat surfaces, like asphalt roads, raise the skid
plates up to 5-6 mm (0.2-0.25 in) off the ground.
• The scraper bar is reversible. When it becomes worn
almost to the edge of the housing, reverse it.
Replace the scraper bar if it is damaged, or if both
sides are worn.
• Do not dispatch the chute deflector if it is clogged.
