For best performance, it is recommended to use tire chains and two rear wheel weights. A rear-mounted weight
carrier can also be added for additional traction. The maximum weight added to the tractor should not exceed 35
lbs. per wheel, plus 66 additional pounds in the rear weight box.
For operation on slopes greater than 15% (8.5°), Quick Tach Weights, tire chains, and wheel weights are recommended. Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6% (10°).

Safety Rules
& Information
TP-600-4159-01-UV-SMAN
OPERATING SAFETY
● Always clear snow up and down the face of slopes,
never across the face. Exercise extreme caution
when changing direction on slopes. Do not attempt to
clear steep slopes.
● Exercise extreme caution when operating on, or
crossing, gravel drives, walks or roads. Stay alert for
hidden hazards or traffic.
● After striking an object or if unit starts to vibrate
abnormally, stop the engine and remove the key.
Check for the cause and any damage before restarting. Before any inspection, make sure all moving
parts have stopped.
● Take all possible precautions before leaving operator’s position. Lower the attachment, set the parking
brake, stop the engine and remove the key.
● Never operate near glass enclosures, automobiles,
window wells, dropoffs, etc.
● Do not put hands or feet near or under the dozer
blade. Keep clear of the dozer blade at all times.
● Do not overload machine capacity by attempting to
clear too much material at too fast a rate.
● Never operate unit at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces. Use care when travelling in reverse.
● Never operate the dozer blade without good visibility
or light. Always be sure your feet are properly placed
on the footrests and keep a firm hold on the steering
wheel.
● Do not run the engine indoors.
● Never allow anyone in front of the unit.
Read these safety rules and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of control
of unit, severe personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or equipment.
The triangle in text signifies important cautions or warnings which must be followed.

& Controls
TRACTOR CONTROLS
Before you begin operating the tractor with the dozer
blade attachment, make certain you have:
• Read and understood the instructions in the
tractor Operator’s Manual.
• Become thoroughly familiar with all of the
tractor controls and their operation, including
how to safely and properly start and stop the
unit.
• Practice driving in an open area—without dozing—to become accustomed to the unit.
A. Blade Angle Control Lever
The blade angle release lever controls a spring-loaded
plate which locks the blade in one of three positions.
Turn the lever counterclockwise to release the angling
mechanism and move the blade left or right. Push the
angling lever forward fully to lock the blade in the left
position. Pull the lever fully back to lock the blade in the
right position. Move the lever slowly past center to lock
in the centered position.
NOTE: It is easier to change the angle of the blade with
the attachment raised.
B. Attachment Lift
The attachment lift lever raises and lowers the dozer
blade. To RAISE attachment pull back on lever. To
LOWER an attachment, move the lever forward.
Please Take a moment and
familiarize yourself with the
name, location, and function
of these controls so that you
will better understand the safety and operating instructions
provided in this manual.

Instructions

Checks Before Starting
1. Refer to the Maintenance & Adjustments sections of
this manual and perform any needed service. Also,
refer to the tractor Operator’s Manual and perform
any required service.
2. Remove any objects from the work area which might
interfere with plowing activity.
3. Adjust the skid shoes to desired height. See Skid
Shoe Adjustment.
4. Make sure all hardware is present and secure.
Engine & Ground Speed Selection
Always run the engine at full throttle.
Set tractor speed to obtain the needed power to move
the material. Operate at a safe speed, depending on
conditions, so that you have complete control of the tractor. Rear wheel weights and chains are recommended
for slippery surfaces.
A rear weight carrier is recommended for additional traction.
Transporting
For maximum ground clearance, transport the blade to
and from work areas fully raised and angled straight
ahead.
Starting & Stopping
1. Start the tractor engine. Set engine throttle to full.
2. Raise the attachment lift and travel to the work site.
3. Set the angling control to the desired angle.
4. Lower the attachment lift and begin plowing.
5. Raise the plow before backing up.
6. To stop the tractor, set ground speed to neutral and
set the parking brake. Before leaving the seat, stop
the engine, set the parking brake, remove the key,
and wait for all moving parts to stop.
WARNING
Perform the Safety System Interlock test found in
your tractor Operator’s Manual. If tractor does not
pass the test, do not operate the tractor. See your
authorized dealer. Under no circumstances
should you attempt to defeat the safety system.
Use caution when plowing a snow covered area.
Snow can cover objects such as curbs, drop-offs,
and other obstacles. Be familiar with the area you
are plowing.
To prevent an explosion or fire, never store the
tractor with fuel in the tank inside a building
where an ignition source is present.
DANGER
OPERATING ON SLOPES CAN BE DANGEROUS
Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6% (10°)
which is a rise of 3-1/2 feet (106cm) vertically in
10 feet (607cm) horizontally.
Operate the unit at a slow ground speed when
driving onto slope. Avoid using brakes to control
ground speed.
When operating on slopes that are greater than
15 % (8.5°) but less than 17.6%, use additional
wheel weights or counterweights.
In addition to counterweights, use extra caution
when operating on slopes. Drive UP and DOWN
the slope, never across the face, use caution
when changing directions and DO NOT START
OR STOP ON SLOPE.
For additional traction, tire chains and a weight
box can be added. Maximum weight added to
tractor should not exceed 35 lbs. per wheel and
100 additional lbs. in weight box.
IMPORTANT NOTE
To prevent damage to the unit, always
raise the dozer blade BEFORE turning or
backing up.
