For worker safety a preseason site visit is rec
-
ommended. Make a clearing plan to identify
hidden obstacles, structures and piling areas.
Sudden impact from obstacles hidden under
the snow may cause injury.
• When you get to the place that you want to
clear snow survey the work site, remove de-
bris and make note of nearby obstructions.
• Engage the PTO and slowly bring the blower
up to operating speed. Lower the blower to
the ground and turn the chute and adjust the
diverter to discharge the snow in the direction
you want the snow to go.
• Do not direct discharged snow toward people,
cars or buildings as stones or bits of ice can
go a long distance.
• After the blower is running select a slow for-
ward gear and start driving forward. The chute
can be rotated from the tractor seat while
blowing snow.
Snow Clearing Tips
Tips to help make safe and efficient use of your loader snow blower. Aways review your site clearing plan.
• If your drive is paved then you may need to
tilt the blower ahead so it will scrape the hard
surface better.
• If your drive is gravel then you may want to tilt
the blower back so it will not dig into the loose
gravel.
• In colder climates where the bare ground is
frozen during most of the winter the blower
can be adjusted to scrape the snow off the
frozen drive after freeze-up.
• In areas where the gravel is not frozen most
of the time adjust the skid shoes to raise the
blower above the gravel.
Caution: this blower is designed to blow snow,
but will blow loose gravel if care is not taken.
After the job is finished: Disengage the PTO to
stop the blower before driving away or getting off
the tractor.
