Operation and Service
1. Before operating each season, grease the blower completely as per lubrication chart.
2. To prevent damage to the driveline, before operating the blower raise the three-point lift and check the
PTO knuckle. DO NOT exceed 30 degrees. Set the stop on the three-point lift to prevent accidental overlift.
3. For best operation, travel at speeds that will let the blower efficiently handle the load. Speeds may vary
with depth and conditions of the snow. DO NOT move the blower at speeds that will push the snow. Avoid
bulldozing into snowbanks as this may possibly plug the spouts and put undue stress to all driveline
components.
4. If the blower becomes overloaded in deep snow, raise the machine and remove the upper layer, move
ahead and lower the blower for another pass.
5. After the first ten hours of operation, check and retighten all setscrews and bolts. Check the roller chain for
tightness and adjust the idler sprockets accordingly.
6. The oil bath housign for the drive assembly contains 5 gallons of standard SAE #5 wt. oil. The oil bath
assures long sprockets, chain life and dissipates heat caused by moving parts. Periodically check the oil
level and add if necessary.
7. Each fan is protected by a shear bolt located at the back of the fan shaft. Replace as required.
Using a higher grade bolt may damage snowblower.
8. DRIVING THE TRACTOR AND SNOW BLOWER

precautions to take while driving with an attached implement. Ensure the tractor has the capacity to handle the
weight of the implement and the tractor operating controls are set for safe transport. To ensure safety while
