Operation - 1080 & 1200 Snowblower
Operation Instructions
1. Do not operate the snowblower in the fully raised position. The 3-point hitch on some tractors
raises high enough to cause the PTO shaft to bind. This can cause damage to the PTO shaft
and/or to the hitch and pins.
2. Depth of cut can be partially controlled by tilting the snowblower forward or backward. Adjust
the top link of the tractor hitch so the snowblower is just slightly tilted back when resting on the
ground.
CAUTION
Excessive backward tilt may cause the “U” joints to flutter
resulting in PTO shear bolt failure.
3. Adjust the lower link sway chains or blocks on the tractor to restrict side movement of the
snowblower when operating.
4. The snowblowers may be purchased with either of two available spouts. Both spouts have
hydraulically controlled spout deflectors. The standard spout should be suitable for all general
snow blowing applications. The truck loader spout was designed to blow directly onto the back
of a truck. The maximum height of the truck side you blow over should be approximately 10 ft.
5. Run the snowblower at low RPM to check operation before blowing snow.
6. The snowblower has shear bolts to protect the tractor and snowblower in case a large object
enters the snowblower. The PTO shaft uses two - 3/8" x 1" (10 x 25 mm) (Grade 2) hex bolts as
shear bolts for 1080 snowblower and uses two - 3/8" x 1" (10 x 25 mm) (Grade 5) hex bolts as
shear bolts for 1200 snowblower. The drive shaft uses one - 5/16" x 1-1/4" (8 x 32 mm) (Grade 5)
hex bolt as a shear bolt. Shear bolts should be fastened with a lock nut. These bolts must be
kept tight to prevent wear of the bolt and bolt holes.
7. Never run PTO shaft over 1000 rpm.
8. Chain Tension: Slack on the lower side of the chain should be 3/8" to 1/2".
9. Lubrication:
- The spout clamps and rings should be periodically
lubricated with gun grease. This is particularly important
on the truck loader spout which turns harder than the
standard spout due to length and weight.
- PTO shaft universal joints and square shaft slide should
be greased daily.
- Regularly oiling the chain will significantly increase the
life of the chain.
- The grease fitting on the hydraulic spout swivel arm
should be kept lubricated.
- Use only 80-90 gear oil on multi grade with 80
minimum in the gearbox up to the level
plug height.
