2.3 Tractor Horsepower
The horsepower required to operate the implement depends on several operating factors including terrain
condition, operator experience, condition of the implement and tractor, and other factors. The recommended
tractor HP for SNOW BLOWER
9
600A is
120
-
275
hp (
90
-
205
KW). Operating the implement with a larger
tractor will greatly increase the risk of damaging the implement.
2.1 ROPS and Seat Belt
The power unit must be equipped with a Roll-Over-Protective-Structure (ROPS) and seat belt to protect the
operator from falling off the power unit, especially during a roll over where the driver could be crushed and
killed. Only operate the power unit with the ROPS in the raised position and seat belt fastened. Power units
not equipped with a ROPS and seat belt should have these life saving features installed by an authorized
dealer.
OPS-UPI- 0003
Operate this Equipment only with a Power Unit equipped with an
approved operator Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS). Always
wear seat belts. Serious injury or even death could result from falling
off the Power Unit--particularly during a
rollover
when the operator
could be pinned under the Operator Protective Structure.
(SPU-14)
2.2 Tractor Safety Devices
If transporting or operating the tractor and implement near a public roadway, the tractor must be equipped with
proper warning lighting and a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem which are clearly visible from the rear of
the unit. Lights and a SMV emblem must be equipped directly on implements if the visibility of the tractor
warning signals are obscured.
Maintain all manufacturer equipped safety shields and guards. Always replace shields and guards that were
removed for access to connect, service, or repair the tractor or implement. Never operate the tractor PTO
with the PTO master shield missing or in the raised position.
