BETTER
P.T.O.
SHAFT
&
GEARBOX
OPERATION
A
proper
initial
installation
will
give
you
years
of
satisfactory
service
on
your
equipment.
Please
read
carefully
following
instructions
which
have
been
specially
made
to
help
you
and
make
you
satisfied
with
your
purchase.
WARNING:
Unfortunately, snowblowers
will
be
faced
with
forgotten
or
hidden
objects
under
the
snow,
such
as:
chain,
tires,
stones,
pieces
of
wood,
etc
…
In
spite
of
all
our
efforts,
machines
are
not
built
to
resist
all
those
conditions.
DANGER:
TOO
BIG
TRACTOR
It
is
dangerous
to
use
a
tractor
which
is
too
big
or
too
powerful.
The
tractor
will
always
be
able
to
overload
the
blower,
even
if
the
machine
is
already
at
maximum
capacity.
Tractor
being
very
high,
too
large
angles
at
P.T.O.
universal
joints
will
result,
and
life
of
universal
joints
will
be
shortened
dramatically.
