Gasoline Snow Blower - HECHT 9334 SQ

Product description

The HECHT 9334 SQ Snow Blower is an exceptionally equipped machine that easily handles unexpected snowfall. At its heart is a powerful 13 HP four-stroke OHV HECHT motor with a 375 cm3 displacement. The blower's working width is an impressive 87 cm, with a working height of 51 cm. The steel blades, protected by a massive housing, can handle compacted and icy snow. The snow is then thrown through the chute up to 15 meters away. The chute can be conveniently adjusted from the operator's position within a 190° range. Maintenance-free airless wheels. The blower weighs 127 kg.

The blower's blades are mounted on shear bolts. If they encounter a hidden stone, concrete, or curb in the snow and are suddenly stopped, these bolts will shear, preventing damage to the transmission or other machine parts. Replacing the sheared bolts takes just a moment, allowing you to quickly resume work.

Besides high performance, great emphasis was placed on operator comfort. The blower features an electric starter. Starting is done by connecting to a standard 230V electrical outlet. This eliminates battery issues in freezing weather. After starting, you can unplug the blower, and during short work breaks, the warmed-up motor can be easily started using the classic pull-start. The main panel contains all primary control elements, such as the discharge direction handle, gear lever, discharge distance adjustment lever, LED headlight switch, and handle heating switch. The left handle lever starts the blower's auger, while the right handle lever controls the drive. Under the right handle is the differential lock lever. Pressing this lever allows easy maneuvering when turning; when released, both wheels engage stably. The blower is equipped with a transmission with six forward and two reverse gears, allowing you to easily adjust the speed to the current snow conditions.

Blower Equipment and Functions

Electric Starter

The snow blower is equipped with an electric starter. You can easily start the blower by connecting it to a standard 230V/50Hz electrical network using an appropriate extension cord. This eliminates battery problems in freezing weather and provides unlimited energy for starting. Press the starter button to activate it. Once the motor warms up, you can start it using the pull cord during short work pauses.

Differential Lock

During normal blower use, both wheels engage simultaneously. Combined with quality pneumatic tires with coarse treads, this ensures high traction and excellent terrain penetration. However, this reduces maneuverability in turns. To maximize comfort and ease of use, a differential lock lever is placed under the right handle. Pressing it opens the lock, making the blower very easy to maneuver. This allows you to manipulate the machine on surfaces with complex structures, easily navigate around obstacles, or turn.

Heated Handles

The snow blower is designed for work in freezing conditions. One prerequisite for comfortable and safe use is keeping your hands from losing sensation in the cold. Using the switch on the main panel, you can turn on handle heating. The handles then warm your hands, allowing you to work comfortably even in the coldest conditions.

Adjustable Skids

The blower's housing is equipped with adjustable skids made of durable plastic. This allows easier gliding on surfaces without scratching pavement or leaving rust marks. The skids also enable precise adjustment of the cutting edge and blower blades' height. On smooth concrete, asphalt, or paved surfaces, you can lower the height for perfect snow removal. Higher positions are useful on uneven surfaces or gravel. The skids are double-sided; if one side wears out, you can flip them, effectively doubling their lifespan.

Shear Bolts

Despite its high power and steel blades that easily handle icy snow, hidden objects could damage the blower. Even the most careful operator might encounter hidden objects in deep snow. The auger blades are therefore attached to the drive shaft using shear bolts that act as a safety mechanism. If the blades suddenly stop, the bolts will shear, stopping the auger on the shaft and preventing damage. Replacing the bolts takes just a moment, allowing immediate resumption of work.

Work Headlight

Winter days are shorter, so it's likely you'll use the blower in the dark, early morning, or late afternoon. Therefore, the machine is equipped with a powerful LED headlight that reliably illuminates the area in front of the blower.

Control Panel

To make working with the blower simple, all main control elements are easily accessible on the handlebar panel. Here you'll find the gear lever, height/discharge distance adjustment, a knob to rotate the chute 190°, headlight switch, and handle heating switch.

Large Discharge Chute

To ensure reliable operation even in the harshest conditions without constant clogging, the blower is equipped with a large, wide steel chute. Thanks to the chute design, snow can be thrown up to 15 meters. The steel construction also increases safety if the blades pick up a hidden object. The bottom of the chute is equipped with a movable safety grid that doesn't interfere with snow throwing but prevents hand access to the second-stage blades if safety instructions are not followed. The chute is fully controlled via elements on the blower's main panel and can rotate 190°. The top deflector, which controls throwing distance, can also be remotely controlled directly from the operator's panel.

(Motor performance data is measured at 3600 rpm. The machine will not reach this performance during normal use. For precise motor performance comparison, use the motor volume and type information.)
