Leveling The Snow Blower
Refer to Figure 2-6 on page 18:
1. Manually adjust one of the lower lift arms up or down
to level the Snow Blower from left to right.
2. Manually adjust length of top-center-link to level the
Snow Blower from front to back.
Driveline Hook-up
Refer to Figure 2-6 on page 18:
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Do not engage power take-off while hooking-up or
unhooking the driveline, or while someone is standing near
the driveline. A person’s body and/or clothing can become
entangled in the driveline.
•
All guards and shields must be installed and in good
working condition while operating the implement.
•
Do not use a power take-off adapter. The adapter will
increase strain on the tractor’s power take-off shaft causing
possible damage to shaft and driveline. It will also defeat
the purpose of the tractor’s power take-off shield.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Always shut tractor down according to “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure” provided in this manual before allowing anyone
including the operator to hook up or unhook the implement.
•
Check driveline when lowering implement to make sure it
does not interfere with the tractor drawbar at maximum
depth. If needed, shut tractor off and move or remove
drawbar to prevent driveline damage.
•
Some tractors are equipped with two power take-off speeds.
Be certain your tractor’s power take-off shaft is set-up to
operate at the implement’s rated power take-off speed or
equipment breakage may result. See Specifications &
Capacities for rated power take-off speed.
• SBD Series are designed for 540 rpm rear power take-off.
• SBDM Series are designed for 1000 rpm rear power
take-off.
IMPORTANT: Do not shorten driveline.
Extend
Snow Blower 3-point hitch or add a quick hitch to
your tractor if driveline is too long to attach to your
tractor with gearbox shaft and power take-off shaft in
alignment and level with each other. Refer to
“Hitch
Adjustment” on page 24 for instructions on how to
extend the Snow Blower 3-point hitch.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use a power take-off adapter.
A power take-off adapter will increase strain on the
tractor’s power take-off shaft resulting in possible
damage to shaft and driveline.
IMPORTANT:
An additional driveline may be
required if implement is attached to more than one
tractor or if a Quick Hitch is used.
1. Pull back on driveline yoke collar (#5) and push
driveline yoke onto tractor power take-off shaft.
Release pull collar and continue to push driveline
yoke forward until pull collar locks in place.
2. Move driveline yoke back and forth several times to
make sure it is locked in place.
3. Continue with “Hydraulic Hook-up” below.
Hydraulic Hook-up
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure will penetrate the skin
and/or eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective gloves
and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic
systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands
when searching for leaks. If an accident occurs, seek
immediate emergency medical care or gangrene may result.
DO NOT DELAY.
There can be two dual hydraulic hose hook-ups. They are
hydraulic motor for chute rotation and optional hydraulic
cylinder for deflector adjustment. Be sure tractor
reservoir is filled properly before operating hydraulic
motor and/or hydraulic cylinder. If tractor reservoir is low
on hydraulic fluid, there is a chance of drawing air into the
system causing jerky or uneven movements.
Hydraulic Motor (Chute Rotate)
Refer to Figure 2-6 on page 18:
1. Locate hydraulic motor hoses (#7) and connect quick
disconnect couplings to a single duplex outlet on the
tractor. This is best if connected to the control lever
closest to the operator.
2. Set tractor control lever in the non-float position.
3. Cycle hydraulic system by rotating chute until it points
to the left at 90
o
to the direction of travel and then
rotating chute 180
o
in the opposite direction. Do this
several times to purge hydraulic motor of air.
4. It is best if chute rotates to discharge to the right
when pushing control lever on the tractor forward. If
chute does not rotate in the direction desired, switch
quick disconnect couplings at the duplex outlet.
Hydraulic Cylinder
(Deflector Adjustment Option)
Refer to Figure 2-6 on page 18:
1. Locate hydraulic cylinder hoses (#8 & #9) and
connect quick disconnect couplings to a single
duplex outlet on the tractor. This is best if connected
to the control lever next to the hydraulic motor control
lever.
IMPORTANT: The drivelines must be lubricated
before putting them into service. Refer to
“Lubrication” on page 36.
