3.Before going to the work site, review "Transporting" section, page 15.

4.Position snowblower in a level area and lower into working position.

5.Starting Snowblower:

■Be sure area is clear of all bystanders.

■Run engine at low idle.

■Slowly engage PTO control to start machine.

■Slowly bring engine to rated PTO speed. Never exceed rated speed

6.Stopping Machine:

■Slowly decrease engine speed to low idle.

■Wait until PTO drive and snowblower have slowed to low engine idle speed before disengag- ing PTO drive.

„Before dismounting power unit or performing any service or maintenance, follow these steps: disengage power to equipment, lower the 3-point hitch and all raised components to the ground, operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pres- sure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key, and unfasten seat belt.

„Before performing any service or maintenance, disconnect driveline from tractor PTO.

7.Do not operate with bystanders in area. The machine can pick up stones, sticks, wire and other debris and throw it out with enough force to cause severe injury or death to bystanders. Shut down machine and wait for moving parts to stop before approaching machine.

8.Ground Speed: Travel speed can vary between 1.5 and 8 mph depending on material and terrain con- ditions. It is the responsibility of the operator to note the condition of the job being done and set the speed to obtain proper feeding rate and maintain safe control of machine.

9.The PTO driveline is equipped with a shear bolt, Figure 7, that protects drive system components from shock loads if machine strikes an obstruction. See parts section for bolt size and grade.

10.Operating Requirements:

„Never direct discharge toward people, animals, or property.

A.Know where you are operating. Remove all unwanted trash and debris before starting. It can wrap around auger or be thrown out of machine during operation.

B.Keep auger and fan in good condition. Do not operate with a damaged fan or auger.

C.Do not allow the auger to hit and scalp ground during operation. Hitting ground will pick up soil or rocks that can be thrown out of machine.

D.To change direction of snow discharge, rotate the discharge chute. It will rotate 200°. It will not rotate a full 360°.

NOTE: For hydraulic rotator, if chute turns too quickly, adjust flow control on tractor hydraulics. NOTE: Operating hydraulic deflector cylinder requires low tractor flow rates. When initially oper- ating cylinder reduce tractor hydraulic flow rate to prevent deflector damage and improve resolution of deflector adjustment.

Adjusting Discharge Chute Position

■The height of snow discharge is controlled by position of chute deflector on discharge chute (8), Figure 8. Remove clevis pin (5), and slide adjust- ment strap (9) to selected discharge height. Rein- stall clevis pin (5).

NOTE: If possible, blow snow with the wind. Beware of people or buildings in the area.
