OPERATION
SNOWBLOWER OPERATION
a) Make sure the snowblower is clear of snow
before engaging the snowblower.
b) Make sure that the auger and impeller operate
freely.
c) Start the tractor engine.
d) Before engaging the snowblower drive, always
have the engine running at medium R.P.M.
e) 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.
IMPORTANT: USE FULL ENGINE R.P.M. WHEN
REMOVING WET OR STICKY SNOW. LOW R.P.M.
WILL TEND TO PLUG THE CHUTE.
CONTROLS
CHUTE ROTATION
The chute rotation handle is located to the left of
steering wheel. Turning the handle in a clockwise
direction, the discharge chute will turn in a clockwise
direction or vice versa.
CHUTE DEFLECTOR
Set the angle of the deflector according to the distance
the snow must be thrown. To change the deflector
angle, loosen the two deflector knobs & adjust the
deflector to the appropriate angle.
IMPORTANT:
In order to avoid damage to the battery of the
vehicle, always start the engine before using the
winch
.
THE WINCH CONTROL SWITCH
Press on the winch control switch to lift or lower the
accessory to the ground.
There is a limit switch stopper that limits the lifting.
To prolong the winch cable’s life, release the winch
control switch as soon as the accessory touches the
ground. This will keep the cable from tangling up,
causing premature wear of the cable.
IMPORTANT:
THE WINCH KIT IS TO BE USED ONLY TO LIFT
ACCESSORY, ANY OTHER USE MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE.

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