Operating Instructions
Throw Snow to Both Sides
CLOGGING CHECKLIST
In case of clogging, the snow throwing action will decrease and finally stop. When this occurs, disengage the PTO clutch, stop the engine, disconnect the fuel solenoid wire [diesel engines] or spark plug wire(s) [gasoline engines], and remove the ignition key. Make sure all movement has stopped before attempting to unclog.
DANGER
DO NOT attempt to unclog the snowblow- er or make any adjustments with the tractor engine running. Disengage the PTO clutch, stop the engine, and remove the ignition key.
DANGER
NEVER place hands in the blower spout. DO NOT use hands or feet to unclog the snowblower. Use a short stick or similar tool to remove any clogged material.
The following list of items should be checked if a pattern of clogging begins to develop. All of these items are capable of causing clogging.
•Check that the inside of the snowblower housing is clean and free of snow and/or ice buildup.
•Check that the auger is in good condition and not bent, both the auger flighting and the center pad- dles.
•Check the inside of the blower spout for smooth- ness and freedom of obstruction.
Remember, anything that restricts airflow or material flow along the entire path from the auger to the blower spout can cause clogging.
