Using the snow Blade
•
Prepare the lawn tractor engine for cold weather
using instructions furnished with the lawn tractor.
•
Always begin with the transmission in first (low) gear
and gradually increase speed as required.
•
To reduce icing on the Blade, allow the lawn tractor
and blade to adjust to outdoor temperature before
operating.
•
For improved snow removal performance, coat the
blade with automotive type paste wax.
•
Do not repeatedly push snow in the same
directions. This causes excessive build up with
each successive pass.
