31 AlphaBlower Operation and Maintenance Manual
Operation
Hydraulic Couplers
• Thoroughly clean the quick couplers
before making connections. Dirt can
quickly damage the hydraulic system.
AVOID BURNS
Hydraulic fluid, fluid tubes, fittings and
quick couplers can get hot when
running the machine and snow blower.
Be careful when connecting and
disconnecting quick couplers.
Connecting Hydraulic Couplers:
Remove any dirt or debris from the surface of both
the male and female couplers, and from the
outside diameter of the male coupler. Visually
check the couplers for corroding, cracking,
damage, or excessive wear. If any of these
conditions exist, replace the coupler(s).
NOTE: Do NOT hammer on or heat up couplers
to connect or disconnect. Doing so will
damage couplers resulting in leaks.
Install the snow blower male coupler into the
female coupler. Pull on the coupler connection to
verify that the male and female couplers are
securely fastened.
Install the snow blower female coupler onto the
male coupler. Pull on the coupler connection to
verify that the male and female couplers are
securely fastened.
Checking AlphaBlower Operation

After installing the snow blower, test all

AVOID INJURY OR DEATH
•
Never start the machine from outside the

•
Never operate the snow blower if any
safety device is damaged, disconnected
