OPERATION
GENERAL 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 the oil level in the worm gear box and
if necessary, add 80W90 SAE gear oil,
AGMA 5EP oil or equivalent.
5. Check the two shear bolts, one on the driving
shaft, and the one on the PTO, for proper
tightness.
6. Adjust so that the snowblower skid shoes run
level.
7. Wear adequate winter outer garments while
operating equipment.
OPERATING CONTROLS
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.
Reduction Chain Tension Adjustment
The premature wear of the chain may be caused
by tension being too tight. It is therefore 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:
Clearance between cutting edge and surface:
Level paved surface : Adjust to 1/16" to 1/8"
•
Uneven or gravel surface: Adjust to 1/2" to 5/8"
•
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 raise.
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.
Ma n ua l R o t at i on (if so equipped)
Turning the handle clockwise turns the chute in
a clockwise direction.
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.
OM 0279-A
Manual Deflector Adjustment
Set the angle of deflection according to the
distance the snow must be thrown. To set the
deflector angle, remove the adjusting pipe hair
pin and adjust the adjusting rod to the desired
deflector angle. Secure with the adjusting pipe
hairpin.

Page 17
OPERATION
SNOW 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 f ast, the snowblower may become
overloaded and clog. For best r esults, r aise 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 attempt to clear clogg ed chute 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 0279-A
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 t he first pass, rot ate
the discharge guide 180 degrees for the return
pass. At the end of each succeeding pass, rot ate
the discharge guide 180 degrees to maintain
direction of throw in the same area.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
Storage
1. Check the shear bolts at f req uent intervals f or
proper tightness to be sure the blower is in
safe working condition.
2. Never store the tractor with fuel in the fuel
tank inside a building where open flame or
sparks are present. Allow the engine to cool
before storing in any enclosure.
3. Run the snowblower a few minutes after
blowing snow to prevent freeze up of the
auger and the impeller.
WARNING: Provide adequate blocking
before working under the snowblower when in the
raised position.
Driveline
Lubrication
1. GEAR : Check the oil level in the worm gear
drive every month. If necessary add SAE
80W90 gear oil, AGMA 5EP or equivalent.
2. REDUCTION CHAIN : Lubricate with chain
saw lubricant every 4 hours of operation and
after each use.
3. DRIVELINE (S) : Grease each u-joint fitting
every 8 hours of operation. Slide drive shaft
apart and coat sliding surfaces with grease
every 8 hours of operation.
4. ROTATION SHAFT : Grease the shaft each 8
hours of operation.
IMPORTANT: When the snowblower is not
used for more than two weeks, perform
driveline maintenance and alw ays store it in a
dry place, away from bad weather conditions.
