CHUTE ROTATION: 

Follow the instructions supplied with your rotation kit. 

 WARNING

 

To avoid serious injury or death:

 

 

Never operate snowblower if its chute can be 
rotated to throw snow toward the operator. If the 
chute can be rotated toward the operator, shutdown 
the snowblower and adjust or repair chute rotation 
stop before putting the snowblower back into 
service. 

 

Keep people and animals away while operating the 
snowblower. Never throw snow toward people, 
animals, or operator. The snowblower is capable of 
picking up solid objects and discharging them at high 
speeds. 

 

 

CHUTE DEFLECTOR: 

See adjustment section. 

Operating instructions 

Pre-start instructions 

Always inspect equipment before using this equipment. 

Refer to section “Maintenance and Lubrication”

Vehicle shutdown procedures 

Always shut down vehicle before dismounting 

1.

 

If engaged, disengage PTO 

2.

 

Park on level surface, engage parking brake, lower 
attachment to the ground, turn off engine, and 
remove key to prevent unauthorized starting. 

3.

 

Wait for all components to come to a complete stop 
before leaving the operator seat.

manual. 

Unhooking the accessory 

See the Accessory Hook-up and Unhook section of this 
manual. 

To direct the snow when removing 

Use the chute controls to direct the snow. 

see subsection 

control and display of the operation section). 
 
To direct snow at the projection distance, adjust the chute 
deflector  (see  adjustments  section).  The  more  the 
deflector is open, the greater the distance will be.

 

To direct the location of the projection, use the control of 
the  rotation  of  the  chute  (see  subsection  control  and 
display of the operation section

). 

Snow removal 

When removing snow, do not use the snowblower as 
a dozer blade to push snow. Allow snowblower to 
ingest snow at its own speed. If the speed of your 
tractor is too fast, the snowblower may become 
overloaded and plug. For best results, raise the 
snowblower and remove a top layer of snow. A 
second pass with the snowblower will remove the 
remaining snow

NOTE: 

 

To increase the life span of the components, 

always disengage the snowblower when it is raised.

 

IMPORTANT: 

Always inspect hydraulic components and 

hoses before use. Replace any damaged or worn parts. If 
you suspect a leak in the hoses, NEVER use your hand to 
locate it. Use a piece of cardboard or wood.

 

A.

 

Make sure the snowblower is free of snow before 
engaging the snowblower. 

B.

 

Make sure the fan and auger turn freely 

C.

 

Start the vehicle engine.  

D.

 

Before engaging the snowblower, the engine should be 
running at low speed.  

E.

 

Operate  the  snowblower  at  maximum  speed  when 
removing wet or sticky snow. A low engine speed will 
tend to obstruct the chute.

 

F.

 

Always use the accessory with float mode. To do this, 
push the tractor hydraulic lever to the float position.
