Using the Snowblade
Wheel weights and tire chains must be used with your snow blade for traction. These accessories are available at your nearest Sears retail store. See page 3.
Prepare the lawn tractor engine for cold weather using instructions furnished with the lawn tractor.
Always begin with the transmission in fi rst (low) gear and gradually increase speed as required.
Do not repeatedly push snow in the same direction, causing excessive build up with each successive pass.
To reduce icing on the blade, allow the lawn tractor and blade to adjust to outdoor temperature before operating.
For improved snow removal performance, coat the blade with automotive type paste wax.
CAUTION: Inspect carefully the area to be worked before operating the snow blade. Avoid pipes, roots, curbs or other heavy obstructions.
CAUTION: Know the terrain. Avoid exceptionally steep slopes or drop offs which may be hidden by the snow. Never run the snow blade into heavy material at high speed.
CAUTION: Always lower the blade to the ground before leaving the tractor.
