2.
To maximize the snow moving capabilities, try to remove snow before the accumulation
reaches 12 inches.
NOTICE!
Placing the loader arm hydraulics in the float position decreases the prime
mover's capability to provide the desired hydraulic flow and pressure to your
snow blower's motors. Snow throwing performance will therefore be reduced.
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL SAFETY STATEMENTS
Read all safety decals and safety statements in all manuals prior to operating or working
on this equipment. Know and obey all OSHA regulations, local laws, and other professional
guidelines for your operation. Know and follow good work practices when assembling,
maintaining, repairing, mounting, removing, or operating this equipment.
3.
Always rotate the chute and adjust the deflector so that the thrown snow is directed into open
areas.
NOTICE! • Holding the toggle switches in the powered position after the actuator has reached
the end of that device's cycle of movement, and/or
• Applying force on the deflector from any source, other than blown snow,
that will cause the deflector to either compress or extend the deflector's
actuator,
and/or
• Using your Snow Blower as a snow "plow"
CAN result in damage to this
product
and
WILL void all FFC warranties.
4.
Never direct the discharge at buildings, automobiles, trees, or any other item that may be
damaged by thrown snow.
5.
When blowing snow, approach the snow with the wind at the operator's back whenever
possible.
6.
When clearing a large area, cut the first pass on the upwind side and work downwind.
7.
If an excessive amount of snow is being pushed in front of the auger housing,
SLOW DOWN!!
Allow the auger and fan enough time to properly collect and throw the snow.
8.
If a foreign object becomes wedged in the auger, the auxiliary hydraulics on the prime mover
may be reversed to reverse the auger. Reversing the auger rotation may remove the
obstruction.
9.
If a foreign object becomes wedged in the fan:
a) Move to a level surface, place your prime mover's transmission in "Park" and engage the
parking brake.
b) Lower this product onto the level surface.
c) Shut off your prime mover's engine, remove the starter key, wait for all moving parts to
come to a stop, and relieve all pressure in the hydraulic lines.
d) Disconnect the hydraulic fittings from your prime mover and reconnect those fittings to
each other.
