Operation
AlphaBlower Removal
NOTE: When the connection frame has been
installed for towing, the support jack
must always be installed before the
snow blower is disconnected from the
machine. Otherwise there is a risk of
the snow blower tilting, resulting in
serious risk of crushing to persons.
The risk of tilting is increased if the
snow blower is parked on an uneven or
non-permanent surface.
NOTE: Put the snow blower on planks or
blocks before removing it from the
machine to prevent it from settling or
sinking in soft / wet ground.
Park the machine and snow blower on a flat level
surface.
Lower the snow blower and put the snow blower
flat on the ground.
Stop the engine and engage the parking brake.
Relieve auxiliary hydraulic pressure. (See the
machine’s Operator’s Manual for correct
procedure.)
Exit the operator’s position. (See “Exiting The
Operator’s Position” on page 24.)
NOTE: Be aware of all pinch points when
disconnecting the snow blower from
the machine.
Disconnect the PTO shaft.
Disconnect the auxiliary hydraulic hoses. (See
“Hydraulic Couplers” on page 31.)
Disconnect the electrical connector (if applicable).
Disengage the tractor’s locking levers (if
equipped). Remove three-point mounting pins.
(See the tractor’s Operator’s Manual for correct
procedure.)
AVOID BURNS
Hydraulic fluid, tubes, fittings and quick
couplers can get hot during operation. Be
careful when connecting and disconnecting
hydraulic hoses.
Enter the machine. (See “Entering The Operator’s
Position” on page 24.)
Start the engine and release the parking brake.
Drive the machine slowly away from the snow
blower.
