8.3 Driving the Tractor and Snow Blower
Start off driving at a slow speed and gradually increase your speed while maintaining complete control of the
tractor and snow blower. Moving slowly at first will also prevent the tractor from rearing up and loss of steering
control. The tractor should never be operated at speeds that cannot be safely handles or which will prevent
the operator from stopping quickly during an emergency. If the power steering or engine ceases operating,
stop the tractor immediately as the tractor will be difficult to control.
OPS-SB-0011
Allow sufficient clearance for the Implement to swing outward while turning. Implements
carried behind the Tractor will swing outside the tire path when making turns. Contacting a
solid object while turning will cause equipment damage and possible injury.
(S3PT-20)
Perform turns with the tractor and snow blower at
slow speeds to determine how the tractor with the
attached implement handles a turn. When
operating the snow blower when turning. Extra
precaution should be taken to avoid hitting parked
vehicles, sign, road structures, bystanders, and
animals due to the overall length and width of the
implement.
To avoid
rollovers
, drive the tractor with care and
at safe speeds, especially when operating over
rough ground, crossing ditches or slopes, and
turning corners. Rear tractor tire spacing should
be increased when working on inclines or rough
ground to reduce the possibility of tipping.
Use extreme caution when operating on steep slopes. Keep the tractor in a low gear when going downhill. DO
NOT coast or free-wheel downhill.
