9.3 PTO RPM and Ground Speed
Ground speed for snowblower will depend upon the condition of the area to be snowblown. Travel at speeds that
will let the blower efficiently handle the load. Do not move the blower at speeds that will push the snow. Operate the
implement at its full rated PTO speed to maintain speed for snowblower operation. Refer to the tractor operator’s
manual or the tractor instrument panel for the engine speed and gear to provide the required PTO and desired
ground speed. Make sure that the snowblower is operating at its full rated speed before entering the field or paved
areas to be snowblowed. If it becomes necessary to temporarily regulate engine speed, increase or decrease the
throttle gradually. Ground speed is achieved by transmission gear selection and not by the engine operating
speed. The operator may be required to experiment with several gear range combinations to determine the best
gear and range which provides the most ideal performance from the snowblower and most efficient tractor operation.
As the severity of operation conditions increase, the ground speed should be decreased by selecting a lower gear
to maintain the proper operating PTO speed.
Always wear your seat belt securely fastened and only operate the tractor and snowblower with the ROPS in the
raised position. If the tractor or snow blower hits a tree stump or bump, a sudden movement could throw you off
of the seat and under the tractor and snowblower. The seat belt is your best protection from falling off the tractor
and the ROPS provides protection from being crushed during a tractor roll-over.
If you hit a solid object or foreign debris stop the implement and tractor at once. Immediately idle the engine speed
and disengage the PTO. Wait for all rotating motion to stop, then raise the implement and move the tractor and
implement off the object. Inspect the area and mark the location of the debris. Inspect the condition of the
implement and make any needed repairs immediately. Make sure the auger is not damaged before resuming
operation.
WARNING! Be sure you have adequate knowledge of the property you will be working
on. Take time to make yourself aware of any area underground lines or
cables. Contact with buried lines or cable could result in serious injury
or death.

9.2 Engaging the Power Take Off (PTO)
Before engaging the PTO, make certain that the area is clear of bystanders and passersby. Set the tractor engine
speed at approximately 1,000 RPM before engaging the PTO. Shift the PTO control to the on position, and slowly
increase the engine speed until the PTO is operating at the rated speed. If you hear unusual noises or see or feel
abnormal vibrations, disengage the PTO immediately. Inspect the snow blower to determine the cause of the
noise or vibration and repair the abnormality
.
DANGER!
Do not put hands or feet under rotating auger. Auger Contact can result
in serious injury or even death. Stay away until all motion has stopped
and the frame is securely blocked up.

DANGER!
Make sure the PTO shield, integral driveline shields, and input shields are
is installed when using PTO-driven equipment. Always replace any
shield if it is damaged or missing.

DANGER!
There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of this
Snow Blower. REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in deep
snow where vision is reduced. The fan blades of this Snow Blower can
throw objects for great distances Serious injury or even death may
occur unless care is taken to insure the safety of the operator,
bystanders, or passersby in the area. Do not operate this machine
with anyone in the immediate area. Stop Snow Blowing if anyone is
within 200 feet of Snow Blower.
