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
IMPORTANT:

To obtain the proper universal
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

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.

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.

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

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.
O
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.

OPERATION
S
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.
