Assemble the Huter SGC 4100 snow blower according to the instructions, in the order of assembly of the components. For the longest life of the snow blower, follow these rules for the operation and maintenance of the Hooter 4100:

to fill the engine with oil, use mineral oil of the 5W30 type in the amount of 0.6 l;
check the oil level before each start, if the oil has been in the crankcase for more than a month and the equipment has been idle, change the oil to a fresh one;
before starting work, check the tire pressure, normally it will be 1 bar;
do not run on cheap, low-quality gasoline, use fuel of a grade not lower than AI-92;
set the position of the limit shoes for more comfortable movement of the snow thrower;

try to start the snow blower according to the manual, warm up the engine before starting snow removal;
repair the snow blower only in an authorized service center, after the expiration of the warranty period, repairs can be made by the owner.

Device

The device and design of the Huter SGC 4100 petrol snow blower is thought out to the smallest detail.

The boom has two main control levers for the user. This is a drive for the auger and wheels.
Below on the body is the gearshift lever.
The direction of snow throwing is adjusted using a lever located on the left side of the boom for control.Adjustment can be made directly during cleaning.
The function of the Huter snow blower is to take snow into the auger and direct it towards the rotor, which spins up and throws it out through the outlet.
But the bucket has a special shovel, which allows you to remove the residues of adhesion on the elements of the snowplow.

User manual

Therefore, before starting operation, it is necessary to fill these fluids. If there is not enough gasoline, then the device simply will not start. But if you forget about oil, then strong friction in the details can occur, at best they will lose their characteristics, at worst they can fail. In such a situation, repairing a Hooter will be much more expensive than buying oil.

The gasoline engine must be lubricated with synthetic oil, which, according to the SAE classification, corresponds to the 5W-30 grade. The crankcase can be filled with 0.6 dm3 at a time. You should constantly monitor the oil level in the engine, both before use and during operation.

wheels Huter SGC 4100

The Huter SGC 4100 has pneumatic wheels, the pressure in which must be the same. Otherwise, the snow blower will constantly go to one side.

It is not allowed to pump the tires, in working condition the pressure in them must be 1 bar.

An important point is the adjustment of the position of the stop shoes. Their adjustment must be carried out based on the characteristics of the surface to be treated. If it is level, then put them in their minimum position. Thanks to this, it will be possible to remove the maximum amount of snow.

However, if the surface is not level, then it is better to set up a higher rack. This way the Huter is more likely to remain intact and thus avoid costly repairs.

Change of oil

engine oil 5W-30

It is recommended to use engine oil from the 5W-30 series for all Hooter snow blower engines. These synthetic oils have excellent low temperature properties, and are efficient at temperatures down to minus 30 C.

The owner should change the oil regularly, after every 25 hours of machine operation. Thanks to this, it is possible to significantly increase the resource of using the device without repair.

The operating instructions do not indicate how to change the oil, but there are many such descriptions on the forums.

First you need to warm up the snow blower. Due to this, the oil in the crankcase will become less viscous and will flow freely from there.
After that, a container is substituted under it and the plug is pulled out of the oil tank. Usually, it takes no more than 15 minutes for the entire mining to flow out.
After filling with new oil, let the snow blower idle a little. Thanks to this, the new fluid will evenly lubricate all engine parts.

Service

There are no particular problems in servicing the Huter SGC 4100. He is unpretentious in everyday life.

It is enough just to carry out preventive work.

The owner should check that the bolts are securely fastened before each ride. Failure to do so may generate vibration that can cause significant damage to the entire device.
The engine of the Huter SGC 4100 snow blower is gasoline. It is not allowed to use low quality fuel. This can damage engine parts. The choice of fuel must be guided by the operating instructions. She recommends using only high-octane AI-92 or AI-95 fuel.
