OPERATION
CHUTE DEFLECTOR POSITION
The chute deflector can be adjusted by loosening the wing
nuts and moving the deflector up or down. Be sure to tighten
both wing nuts after positioning the deflector. The chute
deflector position supplements the engine speed control to
control throwing distance. The highest position provides
the greatest throwing distance. Most snow moving can be
done with the deflector all the way up by using the engine
speed lever to control the throwing distance. Hold the rear
of the deflector down while tightening the wing nuts to make
sure all of the snow goes out the chute.

% -p.'
BELT ADJUSTMENT
The lower pulley on the hitch assembly may be moved for
ward or backward in the slotted hole for belt adjustment
purposes. Adjust this pulley so there is sufficient beltslack
for proper idling of the snow thrower.
Once proper belt slack for idling has been obtained, the PTO
spring must be checked and adjusted to give the proper belt
tension during operation. Proceed as follows:
1. Engage the PTO lever.
2. Measure the distance from the set collar to the rod guide
assembly. There should be 1/2” spacing between these
points. (See Figure)
It may be necessary to adjust the set collar to obtain the
1/2”. Be sure to disengage PTO lever first. Loosen the
set screw on the collar and reposition the rod in the collar.
Engage PTO lever and check again. Repeat this procedure
until the 1/2” is obtained.
SKID SHOE ADJUSTMENT
Gravel Surface Use Adjustment
The two skid shoes located on each side of the snow thrower
housing, should be lowered all the way down when operating
on a gravel surface. To adjust the skid shoes, raise the
snow thrower housing a couple of inches off the ground.
Loosen the two nuts and drop the skid shoes to the lowered
position. Set the bottom surface of the skid shoes so they
are level or slightly (maximum of 1/8”) higher in the front
and tighten nuts securely. Both skid shoes should be posi
tioned the same. The snow thrower will now be supported
on the skid shoes so the scraper bar can skim the snow from
the surface without picking up and throwing stones.
Hard Surface Use Adjustment
Loosen the two skid shoe mounting nuts and rest the snow
thrower on a hard level surface. The snow thrower should
now be supported by the tractor and the skid shoes with the
scraper bar resting on the ground surface. Tighten the nuts
on both skid shoes taking care that their position doesn’t
change while the nuts are tightened. The full width scraper
bar on your snow thrower will now get down to the ground
surface and scrape it clean.
OPERATING THE TRACTOR AND SNOW THROWER
Determining Snow Removal Pattern
Before beginning to remove snow from any area, the opera
tor should determine the best snow removal pattern. The
size, shape, terrain and obstructions of the area to be cleared
should be considered. Usually it is best to drive back and
forth the long direction of the area to minimize turning.
CAUTION: ALWAYS RAISE THE SNOW THROWER BEFORE
TURNING OR BACKING TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO IT.
Page 5
TRANSPORTING THE SNOW THROWER
Transport the snow thrower in the raised position with the
power take off control in the disengaged position. Ground
speed should be adjusted according to the type and condition
of the road surface. CAUTION: WITH THE SNOWTHROWER
INSTALLED ON THE TRACTOR, WEIGHT ON THE FRONT
WHEELS WILL BE SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASED MAKING
TURNING MORE DIFFICULT UNDER SOME CONDITIONS.
ENGINE SPEED
The tractor engine should normally be operated at 3/4 to
full speed when using the snow thrower. Operate it at full
speed when throwing deep or heavy snow. Less than 3/4
speed may be used in light snow if a short throwing distance
is desirable.
ENGAGING SNOW THROWER DRIVE
The tractor engine should be operating at 1/2 to 3/4 throttle
when the snow thrower is engaged. To engage the snow
thrower drive, push forward and down on power take off
lever. CAUTION: IF THE SNOW THROWER DRIVE
SHOULD BEGIN TO SLIP WHILE THE POWER TAKE
OFF IS ENGAGED, DISENGAGE THE POWER TAKE OFF
CLUTCH IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE
SNOW THROWER DRIVE BELT OR POWER TAKE OFF
CLUTCH.
RAISING AND LOWERING THE SNOW THROWER
The snow thrower should be raised and lowered using the
tractor lift lever.
CONTROLLING GROUND SPEED
The best ground speed will vary greatly with the type and
amount of snow being thrown. For most conditions one to
two MPH will be a good starting speed. Refer to the opera
tion chart in your tractor owner's manual for speed control
settings to achieve the desired speed. Firstgear is normally
used for snow throwing.
THROWING DISTANCE
The snow should be deposited beyond the surface you want
to clear if at all possible. Start with the deflector all the
way up and adjust engine speed so that the thrown snow is
deposited just beyond the far side of the area to be cleared .
If the snow is only a couple of inches deep, it may be nec
essary to go over the ground quite rapidly to feed snow into
the auger. In this situation the deflector should be lowered
and the engine speed increased. CAUTION: STOP THE
ENGINE AND PLACE PTOIN NEUTRAL WHILE CHANGING
THE DEFLECTOR ADJUSTMENT.
THROWING DIRECTION
The spout control handle is used to rotate the snow thrower
spout to the left and right to control the throwing direction.
Whenever possible, begin snow removal on the upwind side
of the sidewalk or driveway so it is not necessary to blow
snow over an area already cleared.
The chute should be rotated to discharge the snow downwind,
not into it. Always adjust the spout and extension so that
you are well out of the path of the snow stream. CAUTION:
CONSTANT INHALATION OF COLD, WET VAPOR IS EX
TREMELY DANGEROUS. ON WINDY DAYS, HAVE YOUR
NOSE AND MOUTH COVERED UNLESS YOUR TRACTOR
IS EQUIPPED WITH A SNOW CAB.
MOVING THE SNOW
Light Snow
Snow up to 8” deep can usually be cleared in one pass the
full width of the machine. Face the snow thrower into the
snow, set the throttle at 1/2 speed or more and engage the
tractor power take off completely. When the auger drive is
fully engaged, readjust the engine speed as described under
Throwing Distance. Select the proper gear or transmission
speed control lever setting to give the speeds suggested
under Controlling Ground Speed. Drive the tractor and
snow thrower slowly into the snow. When you have come
to the end of a pass, raise the snow thrower and turn the
tractor around to make the next pass along side of the cleared
area. Allow about 2" of overlap into the cleared area.
Lower the snowthrower, rotate thechuteso thesnowstream
goes downwind, and engage the tractor drive for the second
pass. Repeat these steps until the area is cleared.
HEAVY DEEP SNOW
With very dense snow or snow deeper than the center of the
auger, a different method is necessary.
First Pass
Lower the deflector about 1/2 way and run the engine at full
speed. Raise the snow thrower until the top of the auger
housing is above the top of the snow whenever possible.
Engage the tractor drive gently, drive slowly through the
snow. Readjust the deflector if necessary to obtain the
desired throwing distance. Renieiiiber to stop the engine
before adjusting the deflector. At the end of the pass, turn
around as described under light snow, except go over the
same path with the snowthrower in the lowered position.
In some cases it may be better to back up every few feet
and clear the snow down to the ground surface, so the tractor
tires are not running in deep snow.
Subsequent Passes
Use the same procedure as for light snow, but substantially
increase the overlap into the cleared area. In other words,
take a narrower slice of snow than the width of the auger
housing. Judge how wide a slice to take by watching the
snow stream. It should continue to flow freely from the
chute. If it does not, slow the tractor ground speed or take
a narrower slice of snow. Any time snow stops flowing
freely from the spout, use reverse to back away until the
snow thrower clears itself and then inch slowly into the
snow. You will soon get the feel of how fast to go, and how
wide a slice to take.
FOREIGN OBJECT IN THE AUGER OR PLUGGED CHUTE
If the auger stalls or the chute plugs, disengage the tractor
power take off control immediately. Stop the engine, set
the parking brake and remove the foreign object or clear
the spout. Always stop the engine before working near or
on the auger or spout.
Page 6
STORING THE SNOW THROWER
After the clearing job is finished, the tractor should be
transported to a sheltered area,. When transporting the
snow thrower, always disengage the power take off, and
lift the snow thrower to the raised position. Place the
transmission and power take off control in the neutral po
sition and run the engine at slow speed for 5 minutes to
melt and dry up the snow in hidden areas to prevent icing.
ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS
Replacement parts required for maintenance services or
repair work should be purchased from your HOME LITE
dealer. When ordering parts, always furnish model and
serial number to dealer.
ACCESSORIES
MAINTENANCE
After Each Use
With the engine stopped and the PTO in "Neutral", inspect
the snow thrower for loose or missing bolts, pins and worn
or damaged parts. Check for any buildup of ice in the thrower
housing and around pulleys which may cause damage when
unit is started. Make any necessary repairs before using
the snow thrower again.
Every 15 Hours of Operation
There is one giease fitting located on the cross shaft. Wipe
off fitting and lubricate with a general purpose automotive
type grease. Apply a coating of grease on the chain every
15 hours of operation.
An occasional application of light motor oil should be applied
on all moving parts.
NOTE: Do not get oil or grease on belts or pulleys.
Once Each Year
Once each year or more often if the snow thrower is used
commercially, the drive chain should be inspected for wear
and adjustment. Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the two hex nuts and drive chain cover.
The following accessories can be purchased through your
HOMELITE dealer.
1. Four rear wheel weights.
2. Two front wheel weights.
3. 'Tire chains.
