OPERATION
REMOVING SNOW
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
A.T.V. 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.

thoroughly familiar with the controls & proper
use of the attachment. Know how to stop the unit
& disengage the controls quickly
