Set-up and Operating Instructions
Equipment Set-up:
The initial set-up of this machine will require you to
become familiar with all hazard warnings and safety
precautions listed in this manual. Review the
illustrated parts lists (section 4) to become familiar
with the component parts and how they are
assembled.
The snowblower may be shipped in a wooden
packing crate with the spout and rotator controls
packaged separately. The spout deflector controls
will be pre-assembled onto the spout. Unpack all
components. Assemble the spout and rotator
controls onto the snowblower and verify equipment
set-up as follows:
1. Assemble the 1/2” step washers (Figure 1,
item #1), 1/2” x 3/8” shoulder bolts and
lock nuts onto the spout gear on one side
only of the spout, but do not tighten down.
Figure 1
2. Apply grease onto the spout base ring
(Figure 2)
Figure 2
3. Slide the spout onto the base ring (Figure 3)
checking to insure that the step washers
catch the base ring, install the remaining step
washers, shoulder bolts and lock nuts, then
tighten.
Figure 3
4. Rotate the spout by hand to check for
binding, re-adjust the bolts if binding occurs
as the spout should rotate freely.
5. Attach the hydraulic spout rotator control
onto the bracket as shown below (figure 4).

The hydraulic spout control (figure 4) will be
attached by first placing the spacer washer
(see parts breakdown in section 4) on the
motor and around the alignment ring. Make
sure that the washer is properly seated. Then
position the motor under the mounting
bracket with the output shaft protruding
upward thru the bracket and with the ports
facing outward, away from the snowblower.
Use the (4) hex head 3/8” x 1-1/4” grade 5
bolts, flat washers and lock washers to
secure the motor into place, but do not
tighten. Slide the drive sprocket and 1/4” x
1” key onto the output shaft of the hydraulic
motor. Adjust the sprocket and spout gear
teeth for alignment. Tighten the bolts to
secure rotator motor. Adjust the drive
sprocket so that it’s centered on the spout
gear or evenly spaced between the sprocket
guides. Tighten the set screw on the
sprocket. Attach the hydraulic hoses and
couplers. Check rotation of spout, adjust if
binding occurs.
