Operation

WARNING: Before operating the snowblower, become familiar with the location and function of all operator controls. Knowing the location, function, and operation of these controls is important for safe and efficient operation of the snowblower.

Tractor Controls

Refer to the appropriate Tractor Owner’s Manual for complete information about tractor operating controls.

Lift Handle

The lift handle is located to the right of the operator at the back of the snowblower right footrest. The lift handle is used to raise and lower the snowblower. Moving the handle forward lowers the snowblower; moving it backward raises the snowblower.

Foot Trigger

The foot trigger is located on the right footrest. The foot trigger and lift handle are used together to lower the snowblower. Pull the lift handle back, press the foot trigger, and hold on to the lift handle while letting it move forward to lower the snowblower.

IMPORTANT: To avoid the snowblower dropping down with force, DO NOT release the lift handle while depressing the foot trigger or before the snowblower has reached the ground.

Rotation Handle

The crank is located to the left of the operator at the back of the snowblower. Turn the crank clockwise and the chute will turn counter clockwise.

Deflector Positions

The knob is located to the right of the operator at the right side of the chute of the snowblower. Loosen the knob and adjust the deflector at the desired position, then tighten the knob securely.

Sliding the deflector higher throws snow higher and farther. Sliding the deflector down throws snow lower, and closer.

CAUTION: ALWAYS disengage the PTO clutch and plut the Forward Speed Control (FSC) in the NEUTRAL-PARK position before starting the engine.

NOTE: For cold weather operation, follow the proper operating procedures in the appropriate Tractor Owner’s Manual. Allow sufficient time for the tractor engine to warm up before engaging the snowblower.

Engaging The Snowblower

CAUTION: Before operating the snowblower, read and understand all Safety Instructions and Operating Instruction.

1.Set the engine throttle at about 1/3 speed. DO NOT attempt to engage the PTO clutch at high engine speed. This will drastically shorten drive belt life. Use only moderate engine speed when engaging the PTO clutch.

2.Pull the PTO clutch lever SLOWLY engage the snowblower.

NOTE: For cold weather operation, allow sufficient time for the snowblower component (i.e., gearbox grease) to warm up before beginning to blow snow.

CAUTION: A safety interlock switch (seat switch) will cause the engine to stop if the PTO clutch is engaged and the tractor operator is not on the seat. The function of this switch should be checked by the operator raising off the seat and engaging the PTO clutch; the engine should stop. If the switch is not working, it should be repaired or replaced before operating the snowblower. DO NOT disconnect the safety switches; they are for the operator’s protection.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT engage the PTO clutch when transporting the machine. DO NOT engage the PTO clutch with the PTO shaft disconnected (the snowblower removed from the tractor).
