ASSEMBLY

IMPORTANT

A proper initial installation will give you years of satisfactory service on your equipment. Please read carefully following instructions that have been specially included to help you and ensure you are satisfied with your purchase.

WARNING: Unfortunately, snowblowers will be faced with forgotten or hidden objects under the snow, such as : chain, tires, stones, pieces of wood, etc. In spite of all our efforts, machines are not built to resist all those conditions.

How to Determine Driveline Angles

Avoid

Danger: Tractors Too Big

It is dangerous to use a tractor that is too big and powerful. The tr actor will always be able to overload the blower, even if the machine is already at maximum capacity. Furthermore, tractors being very high, the dr iveline angles will be excessive which means the universal joints will be very vulnerable and the life of the driveline will be dramatically reduced.

The universal joint ang le is directly related with the life of driveline. I n order to r educe the angle, it is necessary to increase the distance between the snowblower and the tractor.

Reasonable Angles of Driveline Joints

Acceptable

OM 0277-A 10

ASSEMBLY

Unequal Angles at Driveline Joints

Avoid

Angles at Each End of Driveline

A popular habit is to change the snowblower angle in order to obtain a better scraping effect. T his pract ice can become harmf ul t o the driveline since the angle at each end is unequal. This results in a fan speed variation as well as a drastic increase of load on cross and bearings. To be avoided: It is recommended to always keep tractor driveline and snowblower input shaft parallel.

Figure 3

Equal Angles at Driveline Joints

Recommended

Determining Driveline Length

IMPORTANT

make sure the driveline is not too long. At working position, the two half drivelines must intersect each other sufficiently to insure maximum efficiency but there must not be any interference.

1. To determ ine the "L" length for your tractor model first find the "X" f actor by measuring the horizontal distance between the end of the tractor's drive shaft and the end of the snowblower's driven shaft when the snowblower is in transport position as shown on Figure 3.

2. Choose in the table below the "Y" factor according to the tractor categ ory and deduct that number from "X" to determine "L" which is the center-to-center leng th between the universal joints.

: Before using the equipment,

L = X – Y

NOTE: Before cutting, make sure the two shafts

intersect by at least 7 3/4" when in working position that is when the snowblower rests on the ground.

3. Hold the two half-shaft side by side and locate the "L" length between the two center-tocenter half-shaf t universal joint s. Mark off the zone to be cut on both halves opposite each half-shaft guard as shown on Figure 4

4. Cut off inner and outer g uard t ubes as well as the inner and outer telescopic sections.

5. Cut the guard a second time leaving the same distance between the end of the guard and the end of the shaft as existed before. To obtain the proper distance "A" shown on Figure 5, cut the guard according to the following table:

OPERATION

ENERAL PREPARATION

1. Read the operator’s manual carefully before

using the tractor and snowblower. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the unit and disengage the controls quickly.

2. Make sure the snowblower is clear of snow before engaging the driveline.

3. Make sure the auger and fan operate freely.

4. Check t he oil level in the worm gear box and

if necessary, add 80W90 SAE gear oil, AGMA 5EP oil or equivalent.

5. Check t he two shear bolts, one on the driving shaft, and the one on the PTO, for proper tightness.

6. Adjust so that t he snowblower skid shoes run level.

7. Wear adequate winter outer garments while operating equipment.

PERATING CONTROLS

Reduction Chain Tension Adjustment

The premature wear of the chain may be caused by tension being too tight. It is t her efore important not to tighten chain to its maximum.

• To adjust the tension on the drive chain, loosen the bolt (item 1), securing the idler sprocket to the snowblower housing.

• To tighten the chain, lower the bolt. Leave approximately 1/8" deflection in one span of the chain. Retighten securely the bolt holding the idler sprocket.

Skid Shoe Adjustment

Adjust the skid shoes so that the snowblower runs level and according to the surface conditions so that stones are not thrown with the snow.

Adjust both skid shoes to the same height to keep the cutting edge level and adjust upwards for smooth surfaces.

Loosen skid shoe bolts (item 2) and adjust according to instructions below, and securely tighten bolts:

Work and Travel Speed

Work ing ground speed will depend on the depth and density of the snow to be cleared. Normally, ground speed will range from 4 to 7 MPH for light, dry snowfalls 3 to 6 inches, and 1 to 3 MPH for heavy, wet or drifted snow. To transport, disengage the drive shaft and raise the snowblower to full transport height.

Raising and Lowering the Snowblower

Move the three point lever on right hand side of seat down or forward to lower, and up or rearward to rai s e .

Drive Shaft Operation

The mid drive shaf t is activated by pulling up the drive shaft lever on left side of seat . Push down to disengage.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury,

be sure the tractor engine is off, the drive shaft disengaged, and all movement has stopped before making any adjustments.

Clearance between cutting edge and surface:

Level paved surface :

•

Uneven or gravel surface: Adjust to 1/2" to 5/8"

Adjust to 1/16" to 1/8"

Manual Deflector Adjustment

Set the deflector angle according to the distance the snow must be thrown. To set the angle, remove the adjusting pipe 1/4" round wire lock pin and set the adjusting rod to the desired deflector angle. Secure with the round wire lock pin.

OM 0277-A 14

OPERATION

NOW REMOVAL METHODS

When removing snow, do not use t he snowblower as a dozer blade to push snow. Let the snowblower work its way through deep drifts. If the speed of your tractor is too fast , the snowblower may become overloaded and clog. For best result s, ra ise the snowblower and remove a top layer of snow. A second pass with the snowblower will remove the remaining snow.

IMPORTANT

WARNING: Do not use hands or feet to unclog chute. Do not at tempt to clear clogged chut e of snow while tractor engine is running. If t he chute clogs, disengage the drive shaft, shut off the tractor engine, remove the ignition key, wait for all movement to stop, and then clear the snow from the chute.

A definite pattern of operation is required to thoroughly clean the snow area. These patterns will avoid throwing snow in unwanted places as well as eliminating a second removal of snow

: Use full RPM power when removing wet, sticky snow. Low RPM power will tend to clog

the chute.

Where it is possible to throw the snow to the left and right (above), as on a long driveway, it is advantageous to start in the middle. Plow from one end to the other, throwing snow to both sides without changing the direction of the discharge guide

OM 0277-A 15

If the snow can only be thrown to one side of the driveway or sidewalk (above), start on the opposite side. At the end of the f irst pass, rotat e the discharge guide 180 degrees for the return pass. At the end of each succeeding pass, rot at e the discharge guide 180 degrees to maintain direction of throw in the same area.
