SNOWBLOWER OPERATION

 

1. Make sure the snowblower is clear of snow; 
2. Make sure the auger and impeller operate freely. 
3. Make sure the electromagnetic clutch is 

deactivated and the kill switch is disengaged. 

4. Start the snowblower engine 
5. Before activating the electromagnetic clutch,  
  the snowblower engine must run a full throttle. 
6. Operate the snowblower safely. 
 

IMPORTANT: 

Use full engine r.p.m. when removing 

wet, sticky snow. low r.p.m. power will tend to plug 
the chute. 

WARNING

 

Never touch with your hands or feet the 
snowblower’s fan, auger or the chute because 
this is the most frequent cause of accidents 
associated with snowblowers.

 

DANGER

 

Never let the snowblower motor run without the 
belt guard in place.

 

LIFTING AND LOWERING THE 
SNOWBLOWER 

Use the winch control switch to raise and lower the 
snowblower. 

WARNING

 

To prevent accidents :

 

-Always use the snowblower in well lighted 

areas.

 

-It is essential to install and use a light on the 

front of the snowblower for night use or in 
shadowy conditions.

 

WARNING

 

TO PREVENT INJURIES: 
Start the engine, engage and disengage the 
clutch to be sure it functions normally. Make 
sure the emergency switch is working perfectly. 
Make sure all the controls are working well.

 

ELECTRICAL CONTROLS 

 
See the assembly section for the identification of the 
electrical controls. 

BURNISHING PROCEDURE 

The burnishing procedure must be performed before 
every use of the snowblower. Burnishing the engag-
ing system will ensure a proper  performance and will 
help avoid damages.

obstruction. Start the motor. 

2. Engage 

electric 

clutch. 

3.  Disengage electric clutch and wait for all moving 

parts to stop. 

4.  Repeat procedure (steps 2 & 3) 10 times at 30 

seconds intervals to avoid overheating the clutch 
which will damage it.
