WARNING

Risk of projection

There is a risk that stones and/or other objects under the snow can be thrown up into the air,
and these could cause physical injury to people and/or damage to property.

►

Make sure that no one is standing within a radius of at least 

50 m

 (164 ft) around the

snow plough while the engine is running.

NOTICE

Correct operation

►

In case of strong, steady winds, it is advisable to only plough the snow in such a way that
it is not directed against the wind.

►

Drive at low speed when changing locations (e.g. from garage to work area), as the snow
plough is heavier than the front blade.

The snow plough can be used only if the snow groomer standby is activated. If the snow
groomer is fitted with a snow plough, the push-button A36/17 is used to switch between the
plough and the rear tiller. 

➽

  See "Keyboard 1" (p. 56)

■

A snow plough cannot be used at the same time as the rear tiller. If the snow plough is used at
increased engine speed (approx. 

1600 rpm

) and low vehicle speed, adjust rotary control P.

➽

  See "Joystick" (p. 60)

Front bucket loader (optional)

■

When the front blade is mounted, a bucket can be used to load and relocate snow. With the
bucket open, compact the snow with the front blade, then close the bucket. When loading
snow, the front blade must be raised along with the bucket.

Controlling rear attachments

WARNING

Risk of accident

If any people or obstacles are located in the work area around the rear tiller, this can result in a seri-
ous accident.

►

Take particular care to ensure that no persons or obstacles are present in the work area around
the rear tiller.

Operating the rear tiller

The cutter shaft stops automatically when one of the following functions is selected:

■

Rear attachment raised

■

Reverse Motion

■

Switching off the operational readiness of the attachments

■

The rear articulated arm and rear tiller are moved using the joystick. 

➽

  See "Joystick" (p. 60)

□

Used  along  with  the  push-button  switches  on  the  joystick,  all  the  available  attachment
functions  of  the  rear  attachment  can  be  performed  with  one  hand.  The  individual  func-
tions  of  each  of  the  push-button  switches  depend  on  the  type  of  equipment  and  can
therefore vary.

□

When the rear attachment is raised, it automatically moves into centred position.

□

When  reversing,  the  rear  attachment  is  raised  and  centred  automatically,  and  the  tiller
shafts are stopped.
