Even a light fall of snow can cause you problems, blocking your path, preventing you from getting your car out or stopping you from getting to work so let the Stiga Snow Prisma Single-Stage Snow Blower take the stress & strain out of clearing the snow. A clearing width of 55 centimetres & a snow intake height of 32 centimetres, mean the Stiga Snow Prisma is capable of handling fresh falls of light to moderate snow with ease. It is driven by a hard-wearing, reliable Briggs & Stratton, 205cc, 800 Snow Series engine, which has smooth operation, fuel efficient, corrosion resistant & will keep going in freezing weather. The fuel tank holds 2.81 litres, so less refilling & more clearing. For convenience & reliability there are two ways of starting the Stiga Snow Prisma; a pull-chord, recoil start, with an oversized handle for gloved operation, & an electric start, for which a 10-metre cable is supplied In a single-stage machine like this, the auger both propels the machine forward & simultaneously churns & throws the snow up & out of the chute at speed, up to twelve metres away. The auger is steel with strong rubber blades attached, so it can clear right down to the surface, or ‘back-to-black’. The snow exit chute can be rotated through 220°, so you can direct the stream of broken snow where you want it. This rotation is controlled from the handlebar via a lever. The pitch of the chute is carried out by means of a lever on the chute, simply lean & change. This means these operations can be carried out without leaving the operating position. The Stiga Snow Prisma, with its foldable handle & compact size can be stored & transported easily. Easy to manoeuvre & steer, the machine is controlled with a simple & easy-to use bail arm, for one-handed operation where necessary.
