Snow blowers "interskol"

Device

Two models of a snowblower from Interskol are equipped with gasoline power units that can only work on the AI-92, and the manufacturer makes special demands on the quality of fuel. When using fuels with a lower octane number, problems may arise in the future, more precisely, unstable engine operation will be observed from time to time.

The gasoline four-stroke engine is air-cooled and has valves at the top. The frame is welded. It is strong enough to hold the engine and body. There is also a bucket in the design, an auger that cuts off the snow mass. The control panel is located on the handle.

The transmission is frictional, it has eight gears, of which six forward and two reverse

Special attention to the gutter, made of durable material, which can be adjusted to the required angle of snow throw

All models of snowblowers are assembled on the territory of our country, in the city of Bykovo, which is located in the Moscow region.

Device, assembly, principle of operation of Interskol snow blowers

Snow blowers Interskol are distinguished by a simple rational device: a gasoline engine and a toothed auger are placed in a metal case. The gasoline engine is based on the construction of the latest Japanese Honda GX engines.

Assembly, disassembly of the snow blower

For the convenience of transportation, snow blowers come on sale partially assembled. Thanks to their simple design, the assembly can be done by hand, guided by the instruction manual.

Some of the units and components are manufactured in Chinese enterprises, however, despite this, the snow blowers are of high build quality. When preparing the snow blower for summer storage or transportation, disassembly of the unit is also easy.

How the snow blower works

When the toothed auger rotates, the snow masses are captured inside the body, then, due to the air flow, are thrown outward by the bell of the adjustable chute. Thus, with the help of an additional rotor device, a two-stage discharge of the snow mass is realized.

Snow blower Interskol SMB-650

Due to the design of the toothed auger in the form of a belt, the Interskol snow plow is inserted into the snow smoothly, but with sufficient effort. The stability and good maneuverability of the snowblower is provided by wheels equipped with tires with developed lugs. The presence of a flashlight makes it easier to work in twilight and darkness.

Snow blower control

It is easy to operate the snow blower - the lever of the selected gear is fixed in the grooves on the panel, and the levers on the handles turn on the wheel drive. Snow throwing distance - maximum 12 m, adjustable by tilting the swivel chute, and throwing direction - by turning the handle. Snow capture parameters: 54x57cm. (SMB-650) and 41x53cm. (SMB-550).

Features of the operation of the snow blower

The manufacturer recommends that owners remove snow in the morning, preferably not packed. The fresher the snow cover, the more efficiently the machine works. The throwing distance of the snow mass is also more influenced by the quality of the snow itself than by the engine power.

Owners of Interskol snow blowers unanimously note the significant advantages of the units during operation:

1. The presence of a differential and 2 reverse speeds makes it easy to maneuver the machine and easily turn around.
2. Thanks to the variable transmission, the machine is able to work in a lower and higher gear range, this allows you to set the optimal pace of work.
3. High performance and reliability of Interskol snow blowers.
4. Simple maintenance.

The two-stage snow supply ensures the durability of the parts and mechanisms of the snow blower, since the rotation of the rotor mechanism occurs at low speeds.

Of the shortcomings of Interskol snow plows, most often the owners point to the weak power of the lighting headlight, some rattling of metal parts during operation, and difficult work with wet snow. Nevertheless, taking into account these nuances, it is always possible to organize effective safe work.

Disadvantages:

• Not very bright headlight, which works only while driving (no battery).
• When working on uneven ground, the machine runs heavily, often slipping and getting stuck.
• The components are mainly made in China.
• The control handle has a small height - it is uncomfortable for people of large stature to hold it.
• When working with snow of high humidity, the augers quickly become clogged.

Peculiarities

The units of the Interskol company were created for operation in park areas, therefore their design is adapted for removing snow along the edge of the road, in narrow places, but people were able to adapt such equipment for summer cottages and private houses

The cars have headlights that allow you to operate snowblowers in the dark, which is important, since in winter the sun sets earlier and at the end of the working day you have to clean the area at dusk

It is quite easy to get spare parts and components to Interskol, the manufacturer has taken care of this. In general, the reliability of the main components pleases users; repairs are not required so often. It is worth mentioning that the Interskol company is engaged in the production of construction and garden equipment and for a long time has established itself as a reliable manufacturer supplying units with high assembly quality. The motor is bolted to the frame with shear bolts for increased reliability.

Modern mechanized ice and snow removal devices are no longer a dream. They are affordable and the company has proven that a quality snow blower can be sold at an attractive price.

Features of application and maintenance

The self-propelled snow blower provides snow removal with a working width of 57 cm and a height of 53.5 cm.During work, the operator can adjust the range of snow throwing, for this, adjustments are made on the chute. With the help of the handle, the chute is rotated (maximum 180 °), thereby setting the direction of throwing the snow. The presence of an LED flashlight makes it easier to work in the dark.

The Interskol snow blower requires periodic maintenance. The manufacturer recommends cleaning immediately after snow falls, if possible in the morning. The efficiency of work in this case will be much higher, since the Interskol snow throwers are not adapted for clearing packed wet snow.

Numerous reviews of the Interskol snow blower contain not only positive ratings, but also indicate some of the disadvantages that are inherent in machines:

• low height of the control handles
• wet snow sticks to the surface of the auger
• component parts and components made in China, sometimes not of very high quality
• weak power of the lighting headlight, which, moreover, only works when the snow blower is moving.

Advantages and disadvantages

Snow blowers have many advantages, among them:

ease of maintenance, since on the territory of the country you can easily find a service center or a company store, where original spare parts for snow removal equipment are supplied;
the weight of the unit is distributed correctly, therefore, even when climbing a small hill, it does not lose balance;
the manufacturer has successfully selected several speeds at which the unit can operate;
during the operation of any snow blower there is no strong noise, which is important;
the wheels have a wide tread and from the side they resemble tractor ones, since they are specially designed for difficult-to-pass areas of operation;
snow is thrown over a long distance.

The principle of operation and the place of use of Interskol snow blowers

Watching a video with the current equipment of the Russian manufacturer Interskol will give a complete picture of the principles of its operation.The snow blower is equipped with an auger that cuts snow cover of almost any density, then, with the help of a bucket, the resulting mass enters the guide and is thrown at a distance of up to two tens of meters in the direction selected by the user. Since the machine is self-propelled, the operator can only choose the direction of its movement, without applying any special physical or even intellectual efforts.

The important characteristics for this type of device are primarily the gripping mechanism and the gripping width. Also, the power capabilities of the engine, the amount of fuel used per unit of time, the mass of the unit and its dimensions play an important role.

Interskol produces only two modifications of units for high-quality and fast winter cleaning. These are smb-550 and smb 650e. They are similar in many ways, including admiring customer reviews, but have slightly different technical characteristics. Below is a brief description of them.

Features of operation and maintenance

Snowblowers are started manually. The model of the snowplow Interskol SMB 650E provides for an electric start - before starting work, the machine is connected to a 220 V outlet.

The reliable transmission has a reduced row in the forward and reverse directions, which allows the operator to conveniently maneuver the snowblower, to choose the optimal rhythm of work depending on the geometry, height, density of snowdrifts.

For effective operation of the Interskol snowplow with minimal snow cover, an overdrive is chosen, for cleaning dense packed snow mass and high snowdrifts - a lower one.

The maximum parameters for capturing snow by the machine are impressive, depending on the engine power, they are: width 53-57 cm, height 41-54 cm. The range of snow throwing is carried out at a distance of up to 12 m, but, depending on the quality of the snow mass, these parameters may differ significantly.

In the event that foreign objects enter the working area, the auger safety bolts are cut off, therefore, the manufacturer, taking into account such a feature of operation, supplies spare bolts with the Interskol snow blower.

The snow throwing chute is durable, made of metal. Some brands, to reduce the cost of the construction of snowplows, make this element from plastic, but the durability of such a gutter is not long.

Specifically, the limits of the capabilities of snowblowers, specific rules for the safe operation of the engine, fuel use, and recommendations for starting are indicated.

The manufacturer emphasizes the importance of staff compliance with all requirements in order to avoid dangerous unforeseen situations. Interskol snowblowers cannot be used to remove snow on steep slopes, areas with relief ground

Do not test the strength of the snow blower on a thick layer of ice.

Maintenance of the Interskol snow blower consists in timely refueling it with fuel and periodic oil changes, the choice of which should be carried out taking into account the operation in cold weather.

For the gearbox, SAE85-95, GL-5, GL-6 oils are used.

All moving parts of the snow blower should be lubricated after 25 hours of operation to prolong the life.

At the end of the winter season, it is necessary to take measures to prepare for storage of the snowplow (empty the fuel line, carburetor, lubricate, necessary repairs).

Preventive maintenance of the Interskol snow blower should be carried out by qualified specialists at regular intervals.

Of the negative aspects, the owners note the somewhat noisy work of the Interskol snow plows, due to the rattling of metal parts and the insufficient power of the lighting headlight. Occasionally, it may be necessary to replace the auger belt or friction wheel.

Replacing the Interskol snow blower belt is presented in the video review:

In any case, when choosing a snowplow, future owners should focus primarily on the technical and functional characteristics of the machine.

If the choice is made in accordance with the actual needs, the necessary functionality and taking into account personal financial capabilities, then such a snowplow, as well as any equipment, will become a real assistant in the farm and will pay off in the shortest possible time.

Specifications

Construction and management

The instruction manual for the Interskol SMB-560E snow blower contains information on assembly, correct use of the machine, periodic maintenance and control inspections of equipment.

For ease of transportation, the snow thrower comes partially disassembled. As instructed, assembly of the snow blower can be done in a short amount of time.

Equipment design: four-stroke gasoline engine, toothed metal auger, control handles, snow chute, shift rod, control panel, wheels.

Thanks to the two-stage system, high-quality snow removal is ensured: a smooth supply of the snow mass with a toothed auger under the casing and then ejection through the socket using an impeller at a distance of 12 m.

In order to correctly operate the snow blower in different modes, before starting work, the owner is advised to familiarize himself in detail with the technical features of operating the snow blower, the available adjustments and settings.

The rational range of speeds - 5 forward / 2 reverse, makes it possible to comfortably operate the snow blower: to move the machine and remove light snow, use a high gear, when clearing heavy snow - a lower gear. An important point: before changing gears, be sure to release the drive clutch lever!
The direction of ejection of the snow mass is regulated by means of the handle for turning the chute for throwing snow.
The change in engine speeds is controlled by moving the throttle lever

Important: when the throttle control of the gasoline engine is on, the operation of the snow blower is excluded. The choke is used for cold starting the engine.

It is strictly forbidden to use the choke during hot start and to stop the engine.
To increase the transmission of torque, it is recommended to block the wheels.
With the help of runners installed on the sides of the auger casing, the distance between the scoring knife and the ground is adjusted. The knife should be level with the surface. For more even wear, the scoring knife and skids can be rotated 180 °.
Depending on the quality of the surface to be cleaned, using the adjustments, the runners can be set to the optimal position. In order to avoid dangerous situations, breakdowns of the snow blower, it is not recommended to work with the snow blower on gravel surfaces.
