Clearing blockage
DANGER
To avoid serious injury or death:
Never use your hand to clean out the discharge chute.
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the
discharge chute is the most common cause of injury
associated with snowblowers.
•
Do not attempt to clear plugged chute, auger or fan
of snow while the snowblower's engine is running.
•
Disengage snowblower. -Lower snowblower to the
ground and set parking brake.
•
SHUT THE ENGINE OFF & REMOVE KEY!
•
Wait 10 seconds to be sure that all moving parts
such as the impeller blades have stopped moving.
•
Always use a cleaning tool (a wooden stick a
minimum of 3 feet long or the chute shovel supplied
with some models), NEVER YOUR HANDS.
Burnishing procedure
The burnishing procedure must be performed before the
first utilisation of the snowblower and after a prolonged
period of inactivity. Burnishing the engaging system will
ensure proper performance and will help avoid damages.
Perform the latter when the snowblower is mounted on
the tractor (See the accessory hook-up instruction) and
be sure to follow the same safety precautions as when
using the accessory for snow removal.
1. Make sure the fan and the augers are free of any
obstruction. Start the motor.
2. Engage electric clutch.
3. Disengage electric clutch and wait for all moving parts
to stop.
4. Repeat this procedure (steps 2 and 3) 10 times in 30
second intervals to avoid overheating the clutch and
damaging it.
