OPERATION
A
proper
initial
installation
will
give
you
years
of
satisfactory
service
on

instructions
which
have
been
specially
made
to

WARNING:
Unfortunately, snowblowers
will
be
faced
with
forgotten
or
hidden
objects
under
the
snow,
such
as:
chain,
tires,
stones,
pieces
of
wood,
etc
…
In
spite
of
all
our
efforts,
machines
are
not
built
to
resist
all
those
conditions.
DANGER:
TOO
BIG
TRACTOR
It
is
dangerous
to
use
a
tractor

already
at
maximum
capacity.
Tractor

too
large
angles
at
P.T.O.
universal

will
result,
and
life
of
universal

shortened
dramatically.
