OPERATION

SNOW REMOVAL METHODS

When removing snow, do not use the snowblower as a dozer blade to push snow. Let the snowblower work its way through deep drifts. If the speed of your tractor is too fast, the snowblower may become overloaded and clog. For best results, raise the snowblower and remove a top layer of snow. A second pass with the snowblower will remove the remaining snow.

IMPORTANT: Use full engine RPM power when removing wet, sticky snow. Low engine RPM power will tend to clog the chute.

WARNING

To avoid serious personal injury: Do not use hands or feet to unclog chute. Do not attempt to clear clogged chute of snow while tractor engine is running. If the chute clogs, disengage the PTO shaft, shut off the engine, set the parking brake, lower snowblower to the ground, place transmission in neutral, remove the ignition key, wait for all movement to stop, and then clear the snow from the chute.

A definite pattern of operation is required to thoroughly clean the snow area. These patterns will avoid throwing snow in unwanted places as well as eliminating a second removal of snow

Where it is possible to throw the snow to the left and right (above), as on a long driveway, it is advantageous to start in the middle. Plow from one end to the other, throwing snow to both sides without changing the direction of the discharge guide.

If the snow can only be thrown to one side of the driveway or sidewalk (above), start on the opposite side. At the end of the first pass, rotate the discharge guide 180 degrees for the return pass. At the end of each succeeding pass, rotate the discharge guide 180 degrees to maintain direction of throw in the same area.
