13. Figure 7: Rotate the chute completely to the right then to the left using the rotation handle (item 4).
If th e chute is too hard to turn it's bec ause the
rotation worm is engaged too deep between the gear teeth, move the worm slightly away from the gear teeth and try again.
If the chute rotates with difficulty because the
teeth do not engage or engage incorrectly, adjust the rotation handle support toward the chute and redo the steps.
14. Figure 7: Make sure the worm engages completely when it reaches the end of the chute gear. The rotation handle is well adjusted when the chute rotates easily without straining. Tighten firmly the three 1/4"NC x 3/4" bolts and the three 1/4"NC nuts (item 5).
15. Figure 7: After the snowblower is mounted to the tractor, you may adjust the rotation handle position and height to a comfortable and safe operating position. When the desired position is set for working position, make sure the rotation handle is not interfering with any parts of the tractor while on transport position (snowblower raised to maximum). Tighten firmly the 3/8"NC x 1/2’’ square head setscrew 3/8"NC x 1/2" (item 5) to the desired height. Then tighten firmly the 3/4"NC x 1 1/2" bolt (item 6) to the desired position.

PROBLEM: HYDRAULIC CHUTE ROTATION IS SLOW OR DOESN'T TURN
When activating the chute rotation, it turns very slowly or not at all.
WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury
always wear safety glasses while doing the instructions below.
SOLUTION:
1. Check if the tractor valve works well. Test
it by plugging another piece of equipment to the valve. If it does not work well, refer to the appropriate operator's manual.
2. Figure 12: Check if the chute itself rotates
well. To do so, remove the M6 x 1.00 x 10 mm serrated flange bolt (item 7) and the motor gear (item 6) attached to the motor shaft (item 4) and check if the chute rotates well in both directions by turning it by hand. If it does not rotate well, correct the problem by checking if there is some excess wear or debris locked between components.
3. Figure 12: Check if there is residue in the
,
hydraulic circuit. To do so, first verify if the chute rotates well in one direction. If so, remove the 1/4’’NC x 1’’ bolt (item 5), the 1/4" lockwasher (item 4), the 1/4" flat washer (item 3)and the motor gear (item 2) attached to the motor shaft (item 1) and activate the rotation in the direction the motor turns well for approximately 1 minute to evacuate the residues. Then rotate the chute in the direction it did not turn well and check if the problem is resolved. - If not or if the chute does not rotate well in either direction, disconnect the motor hoses, remove the two flow restrictors (item 5) attached to the motor inputs (item 2) and inspect the holes of the two flow restrictors carefully. Remove the residues if needed. If no residue is present, disconnect hoses and clean them with compressed air. - If the problem persists, check if there is residue inside the motor (item 1). Clean with compressed air the inside of the two motor inputs. You can also manually turn the motor shaft in both directions while shooting compressed air.

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 purcha se.
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
joint angles, it is recommended to adjust the three point hitch at the furthest point from the tractor recommended by the manufacturer
Angles of Driveline Joints Too Larg e
Avoid
Danger: Tractors Too Big
It is dangerous to use a tractor that is too big an d powerful. The tractor will always be able to overload the blower, even if the machine is already at maximum capacity. Furthermore, tractors being very high, the driveline 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 angle is directly related with the life of driveline. In order to reduce the angle, it is necessary to increase the distance between the snowblower and the t racto r.
Reasonable Angles of Driveline Joints
Acceptable
OM 0410SB-A

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. This practice can become harmful to 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.
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 determine the "L" length for your tractor model first find the "X" factor (figure 22) 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.
2. Choose in the table below the "Y" factor according to the tractor category an d deduct that number from "X" (figure 22) to determine "L" (figure 23) which is the center-to-center length between the universal joints.

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 Gearbox and if
necessary, add 80W90 SAE gear oil, AGMA 5EP oil or equivalent.
5. Check the t wo 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
Working 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 t o 3 MPH for heavy, wet or drifted snow. To transport, disengage the drive shaft and raise the snowblower to full transpor t he ight.
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.
ADJUSTMENTS
Chain Tension Adjustment
(Figure 29)
The premature wear of the chain may be caused by tension being too tight. It is therefore import ant 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 idl er sprocket.
Skid Shoe Adjustment
(Figure 29)
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:
Paved surface: Insert bolts in lower hole.
Uneven or gravel surface: Insert bolts according to
distance needed: 1/2" - middle hole
1" - upper hole
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 0410SB-A

OPERATION
SNOW REMOVAL METHODS
When removing snow, do not use the sno wblower 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 results, raise the snowblower and remove a top layer of snow. A second pass with the snowblower will remove the remaining snow.
IMPORTANT
: Use full RPM power when removing wet, sticky snow. Low RPM power wil l tend to clog the
chute.
WARNING
Do not use hands or feet to unclog chute. Do not attempt to clear clogged chute of snow while tractor engine is running. If the 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
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 0410SB-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 the first pass, rotate the discharge guide 180 degrees for the ret urn pass. At the end of each succeeding pass, rotate the discharge guide 180 degrees to mai ntain direction of throw in the same area.
