Removal and Storage Instructions
REMOVAL
1.Park the tractor on a level surface and lower the snowblower.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to remove the snow- blower with the tractor engine running. Disengage the PTO clutch, stop the en- gine, and remove the ignition key. Wait for all movement to stop before getting off the seat.
To prevent accidental engine starting, disconnect the fuel solenoid wire [diesel engines] or the spark plug wire(s) [gaso- line engines].
2.Remove the hitch pins from the ends of the sup- port arms.
3.Slide the PTO shaft out of the PTO coupler while sliding the snowblower off the tractor sup- port arms.
END OF SEASON STORAGE
1.Clean the snowblower thoroughly.
2.Repaint all parts where paint has worn.
NOTE: Rustproofing or painting every year will prolong the life of the snowblower compo- nents and moving parts.
3.When the snowblower is dry, lubricate all mov- ing parts. Apply lubricant liberally to all surfac- es to protect against rust.
4.Store the snowblower in a dry place.
