Operating the Snow Blower
The tractor’s implement control lever is used to control the move-
ments of the front hitch.
Warning: always comply with all safety
rules before starting the tractor.
Start the tractor’s engine and operate at a low/safe RPM.
Pull the tractor’s implement control lock lever upward to
•
the unlock position. See Figure 19 and refer to the tractor
Operator’s Manual.
Pull the lever rearward to raise the snow blower. Push
•
the lever forward to lower the snow blower. If the optional
hydraulic chute rotation kit is installed, pull the lever to the left
to rotate the chute to the left and push the lever to the right to
rotate the chute to the right. Refer to Figure 19.
Push the lever fully forward until it locks in the detent position
•
to place the snow blower in the float position. This position
relieves hydraulic pressure to the front hitch lift cylinder,
which lowers the snow blower to the ground and allows it to
follow the contour of the ground. Use the skid shoes to adjust
the snow blower height in this position.
NOTE:
The blower should be operated in the float position to
prevent excessive wear to the skid shoes.
