SNOWBLOWER OPERATION
a) Make sure the snowblower is clear of snow
before engaging the snowblower.
b) Make sure that the auger and impeller operate
freely.
c) Start the tractor engine.
d) Before engaging the snowblower drive, always
have the engine running at medium R.P.M.
e) Operate the snowblower at maximum engine
R.P.M.
IMPORTANT: USE FULL ENGINE R.P.M. WHEN
REMOVING WET OR STICKY SNOW. LOW R.P.M.
WILL TEND TO PLUG THE CHUTE.
CONTROLS
CHUTE ROTATION
The chute rotation handle is located to the left of
steering wheel. Turning the handle in a clockwise
direction, the discharge chute will turn in a clockwise
direction or vice versa.
CHUTE DEFLECTOR
Set the angle of the deflector according to the distance
the snow must be thrown and to prevent property
damage. To change the deflector angle, loosen the two
deflector knobs & adjust the deflector to the appropriate
angle and retighten the two knobs securely.
SNOW REMOVAL
When removing snow, do not use the snowblower as
a dozer blade to push snow. Allow snowblower to
ingest snow at its own speed. If the speed of your
tractor is too fast, the snowblower may become
overloaded and plug. For best results, raise the
snowblower and remove a top layer of snow. A
second pass with the snowblower will remove the
remaining snow.
