stop before dismounting from tractor to check for probable
causes. Make necessary repairs before continuing on.
8. Start tractor, set throttle to idle or slightly above idle,
and slowly engage PTO.
9. Once Snow Blower is running smoothly, increase
tractor PTO speed to 540 RPM. Stop PTO
immediately if an unusual sound is heard.

Transporting
!
WARNING
When traveling on public roads, use accessory lights, SMV
sign, clean reflectors, and other adequate devices to warn
operators in other vehicles of your presence. Always comply
with all federal, state, and local laws.
1. Make sure driveline does not contact tractor or Snow
Blower when raising unit to transport position.
2. Reduce tractor ground speed when turning and
leave enough clearance so Snow Blower does not
contact obstacles such as buildings, trees, or fences.
3. Limit transport speed to 20 mph. Transport only with
a tractor of sufficient size and horsepower.
4. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way
that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.
5. Shift tractor to a lower gear when traveling over
rough or hilly terrain.
IMPORTANT:
Do not exceed rated PTO speed.
Excessive engine speed will cause damage to
power train components.
IMPORTANT:
Always disengage tractor PTO before
raising Snow Blower to transport position.
