Stopping The Snowblower

OPERATION

CAUTION: If the auger strikes a solid object or the machine begins to vibrate abnormally, immediately disengage the PTO clutch, stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Disconnect the fuel solenoid wire (diesel engines) or the park plug wire(s) (gasoline engines) to prevent accidental starting. Thoroughly inspect the snowblower and repair any damage before restarting the engine and operating the machine. Make sure auger blades are in good condition and all bolts are tight.

1.Slow the engine to idle; put the throttle in the IDLE position.

2.Pull the steering lever to the NEUTRAL position and move the Forward Speed Control (FSC) lever backward to the NEUTRAL-PARK position.

3.Disengage the PTO clutch.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT disengage the PTO clutch with high engine speed (above 1/2" throttle) since the brake action of the PTO drive will cause premature wear of the brake band.

WARNING: A brake stops the auger from freewheeling within five seconds after disengaging the PTO clutch. If the brake system malfunctions and the auger does not stop within five seconds, the brake should be adjusted or repaired before operating the snowblower. Refer to the appropriate Tractor Owner’s Manual for adjustment procedures.

4.Turn the ignition switch OFF

5.Engage the parking brake.

WARNING: Remove the key from the ignition switch when leaving the machine unattended. This will prevent children and inexperienced operators from starting the engine.

IMPORTANT: The hydrostatic transmissions lock prevents the machine from rolling freely with the engine stopped. However, if the machine is parked on a slope, it is necessary to ENGAGE the parking BRAKE to prevent the machine creeping. This is due to a small amount of slippage in the hydrostatic transmission, especially when the transmission fluid is warm.

Recommendation For Snowblowing

IMPORTANT: Operate the engine at full speed when snowblowing, to allow the engine to produce full horse power and increase efficiency of the engine cooling system.

1.When blowing through deep snowdrifts, let the snowblower work its way through the drifts. For best results, raise the snowblower skid shoes and remove a top layer of snow, then lower the skid shoes and pass through the area a second time to remove the remaining snow.

2.When snowblowing, operate the engine at or near FULL THROTTLE for the best snowblowing action. The engine is designed to operate at full speed.

3.Use optional tire chains or optional all- terrain tires to improve traction.

4.Disengage the PTO clutch to stop the snowblower when driving the machine but not blowing snow.

5.Avoid damage to property and extra snowblowing work by carefully choosing the direction to move the snow. Orient the chute away from people and property due to possibility of thrown objects.

6.To momentarily increase traction in case the drive wheels are slipping, use the lift handle to raise the snowblower slightly and transfer extra weight on the drive wheels.
