SNOW REMOVAL
IMPORTANT:
Allow unit and engine to adjust
to the outdoor temperature before clearing
snow.
IMPORTANT:
Do not "feather" the traction
drive clutch to control speed or run the unit
with the traction drive clutch partially
engaged. Continued use with the traction
drive clutch partially engaged will damage the
transmission.
NOTE:
Attachment clutch should be engaged
before wheel drive clutch when throwing
snow.
1. Engage Attachment Clutch - Right Hand
Lever.
2. Engage Traction Drive Clutch - Left
Hand Lever.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT overload unit capacity
by attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate.
Use slow speed to clear deep or hard packed
snow.
Tips for Operation
Snow is best removed as soon as possible
after snow fall.
To clear an area, run unit in an overlapping
series of paths. For large areas, start in the
middle and throw snow to each side, so snow
is not cleared more than once.
ALWAYS direct snow away from area to be
cleared and with direction of the wind.
TRAVELING
To travel from one work area to another:
1. Set Throttle to Slow or Part-Throttle
position.
2. Press down on handlebars enough to
raise front of unit slightly off surface.
3. Disengage traction drive clutch and
push unit to new work area.
TRANSPORT
ALWAYS shut off engine, remove key, and
drain fuel when transporting unit on a truck or
trailer.
Use extra care when loading or unloading
unit onto trailer or truck.
Secure unit chassis to transport vehicle.
NEVER secure from rods or linkages that
could be damaged.
DO NOT transport machine while engine is
running.
