Operating Instructions
DANGER
DO NOT attempt to unclog the snowblow- er or make any adjustments with the trac- tor 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 pat- tern 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 materi- al flow along the entire path from the auger to the blower spout can cause clogging.
