– Slacken: loosen adjusting sleeve (6) and screw nut (7) against it. • For coupling cables with load- removal spring (8): Before making an adjustment the spring must be unhooked and afterwards hooked on again. The coupling cable is correctly adjusted when the spring expands 2 to 3 cm when coupling takes place. – Tighten: Screw lock-nut (9) upwards. – Slacken: Screw lock-nut (9) downwards. Checking the drive system (STH 5.56, STH 8.66, STH 10.66 C) Figure 13 Caution Risk of damage to the machine

• To reduce the travel speed, press down on the side handle. Working on slopes ! Risk of injury from machine tipping over Work slowly and carefully, especially when you change direction. Guide the machine up or down the slope, not crosswise to it. Watch out for obstacles, do not work near inclines. Do not use the machine on slopes with a gradient greater than 20 %. Tips on clearing snow • Clear snow immediately after it has stopped snowing; later on, the underneath layer will ice up and will mak

• Tip the machine forwards again, check the setting and repeat as necessary. Adjust the skids (STH 5.56, STH 8.66, STH 10.66 C) Figure 7 With the skids (1), the distance between the ground and the clearing plate (5) can be set in such a way that no parts of the ground (e.g. earth or stones) can be taken up. • (STH 10.66 C) Set setting lever (Figure 4, item 1) to position II. • Loosen nuts (2) on both sides of the machine. • Adjust skids to conform to the ground conditions: – lower for uneven or
