Features of the device and operation

1. The Prorab GST 65 snow blower received a 6.5 horsepower gasoline engine. It drives all machine working parts, including the wheeled chassis. As practice shows, the engine performance is sufficient to unlock the potential of the snow blower
2. The machine is equipped with a casing (bucket) located at the front. The model under consideration uses a metal casing into which the working element is built. The wider the casing, the greater the working width, and the greater the productivity.
3. Another important component of a snow blower is the discharge chute, which is designed to determine the direction of the snow being thrown out. In addition, it can be used to adjust the distance at which snow is thrown. This element is also made of metal
4. The main working element is the auger, which is responsible for capturing and crushing snow, which is then thrown out through the outlet chute. In this case, the user sets the direction of ejection - forward or to the side. Thus, the road space is gradually cleared. In addition to the auger, the snow blower is equipped with a rotary mechanism
5. The rotor mechanism is a wheel with blades that rotates at super-fast speed. The faster the rotor rotates, the faster the snow is thrown out, and the higher the productivity
6. The snow blower has a two-wheeled design. Each wheel is equipped with a classic metal disc, as well as a rubber rim with a deep tread pattern that prevents wheel slipping and improves traction on snow.
7. The machine has comfortable handles with an ergonomic grip. The handle can be adjusted in height based on the operator's height.
8. The snow blower Foreman GST 65 received a primitive dashboard with buttons and switches that are located in the right place and are at hand. You don’t have to reach for them, which is a plus for ergonomics.
9. The machine in question is not only easy to operate, but also easy to maintain. However, during the first service, difficulties may arise for both beginners and experienced users. Let's take a closer look at what points you should pay attention to during the first service of a very important component of a snow blower - the engine:

• First you need to make sure that the snow blower is positioned horizontally, then we unscrew the oil filler plug to see how much oil is left. Please note that such a check is necessary only on four-stroke engines in which oil and gasoline are supplied separately
• If necessary, drain the oil and fill in new oil, or simply add the missing amount of fluid. Close the plug and move on to the next stage
• Replacing a glow plug is also one of the necessary procedures; to perform it, simply unscrew the glow plug and insert a new plug. The detailed process is described in the user manual
• An equally important maintenance point is replacing the compression level. It is believed that the optimal value should be in the region of 9-12 atmospheres, which is equivalent to 0.9-1.2 MPa. If the compression is below 9 atmospheres, then, most likely, the piston rings are not worn in enough, since the engine is still new. To make sure of this, turn on the engine and let it idle. The load should be minimal.
• So, after ten hours we turn off the engine and measure the compression again. If its level is still below 9 atmospheres, then this already indicates a malfunction. In this case, the motor will not produce rated power and will experience frequent overloads.

Next, let’s pay attention to how to properly start the snow blower engine for the first time:

• First you need to make sure that you have the necessary fuel - AI-92. In addition, it is necessary that the room is well ventilated.
• So, let's start pumping fuel - to do this, press the corresponding button on the instrument panel
• The engine operating mode switch must be set to the ON position.
• Make sure that the lower carburetor lever is turned all the way to the right. This will activate the fuel supply
• Make sure that the upper carburetor lever is turned all the way to the right. This will open the air damper
• Move the lever responsible for the accelerator to the maximum position
• Smoothly pull the recoil starter cable towards you to start the engine. We do this until the engine starts
• So, the engine starts, then we turn the carburetor lever all the way to the left to open the air damper
• Let's make sure that the engine operates smoothly at the same speed. At the same time, any extraneous sounds are absolutely excluded. The engine should idle for 10 hours. If metallic knocks are detected during this time, you should immediately turn off the engine. Having sorted out the problem in the service center, you can continue running in
• So ten hours have passed. We turn off the engine and let it cool for two hours. Then we measure the compression, which, remember, must be at least 9 atmospheres. Otherwise, the problem most likely lies in defective gears or a manufacturing defect.
• If the compression is in perfect order, the run-in can be considered complete. We drain the used fluids and fill in new ones recommended by the manufacturer.

Reviews

• Alexander, Leningrad region. GST 65 Foreman is worth the money. The machine is easy to operate and effectively clears snowdrifts from narrow paths and asphalt access roads. My local area is now constantly clean. This is my second winter using the car, and it will be my third. Now clearing snow has become a pleasure. I even began to perceive this procedure as morning exercises for my back. The main thing is that now at least you don’t have to bend your back, as was the case with the shovel. For my age, the Foreman GST 65 snow blower was a suitable gift that my children gave me for my anniversary. The device is constantly stored in a heated garage, so I think it’s not necessary to clear the snow, although it won’t hurt. But it’s not that it’s hard for me to do this, it’s just laziness. I hope everything will continue to work. Let's see how it starts after 10 months of inactivity.
• Mikhail, Tomsk. Foreman GST 65 is a worthy choice for budget-conscious users. The car was purchased specifically for a summer cottage. One shovel was not enough, and besides, it was very stressful to use. And yet, the 21st century is upon us, it’s time to update. The snow blower confidently clings to the ground with its toothy tires - by the way, I specifically replaced them with these, otherwise slipping occurred with the standard tires, and this caused a drop in performance. The machine is capable of working with large snowdrifts; the motor power is enough for this. And the snow throw range is about 10 meters, which is quite good for a budget employee. It’s not very pleasant that you have to tighten bolts and screws that unscrew themselves due to vibrations and noise. But this is already a design feature, and nothing can be done about it. And somehow I’m already used to it. Moreover, all the breakdowns are minor. The engine runs like a clock and confidently starts in 20-degree frost. We use the device together with our son in turns. During three years of operation, no major defects arose. The engine consumes 92 gasoline on average 1 liter per hour. We are already accustomed to noise and vibrations; any budget car has them.
