These torques are for reference only. Not all these sizes and grades are necessarily used in this ma-
chine. Bolts that are used as a pivot or hinge have to be used with a locknut, therefore only tighten
enough to secure the bolt and still allowing the part to rotate freely.

Storing
After the season’s use or when the snow blower will not be used for a period of time, completely inspect all parts of the
Bush Hog Loader series snow blower. Replace or repair any worn or damaged components to prevent any unnecessary
down time at the beginning of the next season.
Your snow blower is an important investment. Spending some time to protect it from rust and corrosion will result a safer,
longer service life and better performance.
Placing in Storage:
1. Thoroughly wash the snow blower with a pressure washer or water hose to remove all salt, dirt, mud or debris.
2. Remove any remaining material and debris from the snow blower.
3. Perform a maintenance, lubricate and grease the unit in preparation for the next season (bearings, PTO shaft,
discharge chute mount and auger chain)
4. Inspect for loose,damaged or worn parts. Repair or replace before next season.
5. Replace any missing or unreadable safety decals.
6. Repaint any chipped or scraped areas to prevent rust and corrosion.
7.
It is best to store the snow blower inside in a dry clean area, off of the ground or floor on blocks or a skid.
8.
Outside storage, cover with a waterproof tarpaulin and tie down securely off of the ground or floor on blocks or a skid.
