Engaging the Augers

and Impeller

Power to the snow thrower attachment is activated by engaging the tractor’s PTO.

1.Place the tractor’s throttle control in the FAST (rab- bit) position and allow it to remain there for efficient snow removal.

2.Move the PTO knob or PTO lever (on tractor’s so equipped) into the “ON” position to engage the augers and impeller.

3.Move the PTO knob or PTO lever (on tractor’s so equipped) into the “OFF” position to disengage the augers and impeller.

NOTE: The PTO knob (on units so equipped) cannot be in the engaged (ON) position when the tractor is driving in the reverse direction. The PTO knob must be in the disengaged (OFF) position when the shift lever is placed in REVERSE or the electric PTO clutch will automatically shut off.

Refer to your tractor’s Operator’s Manual for more information regarding your tractor’s PTO and safety interlock system.

Lift Handle

The lift handle is located on the right side of the tractor and is used to raise and lower the snow thrower attachment.

1.To raise the snow thrower attachment off of the ground, pull rearward and down on the lift handle until you feel the lift latch on the right side of the snow thrower engage, locking the snow thrower in a raised position.

2.To lower the snow thrower, push downward on the lift handle until there is enough slack in the lift cable so that you may squeeze the trigger control. With the trigger control squeezed, gently allow the snow thrower to lower until it reaches the ground.

Chute Directional

Control

The chute directional control assembly is found on the left side of the tractor and includes both the chute tilt lever as well as the chute crank. Both affect the direction that the discharged snow is thrown.

To pivot the upper section of discharge chute, affecting the distance and angle which the snow is thrown, move the chute tilt lever forward or rearward into a desired position.

The direction which snow is thrown can be changed by rotating the discharge chute with the chute crank. Turn the chute crank clockwise to rotate the chute and discharge snow to the left. Crank it counterclockwise to rotate the chute and discharge snow to the right.
