EFORE OPERATION
Children and Bystanders
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not
alert to the presence of children. Children are
generally attracted to machines and the work
being done. Never assume children will remain
where you last saw them.
1. Keep children out of the operating area and
under the watchful eye of another
responsible adult.
2. Be alert and turn machine off if children
enter the work area.
3. Before and when backing, look behind and
look for small children.
OM 0369SB1148-A 5
4. Never carry children while operating the
machine. They may fall off and be seriously
injured or interfere with safe operation of the
machine.
5. Never allow children to play on the machine
or attachment even when turned off.
6. Never allow children to operate the machine
even under adult supervision.
7. Use extra care when approaching blind
corners, shrubs, trees, or other obstructions
that might hide children from sight.

N
OTICE
A safe operator is the best insurance against accidents. All operators, no matter how experienced they
may be, should read this Operator's Manual and all other related manuals before attempting to operate an
implement. Please read the following section and pay particular attention to all safety recommendations
contained in this manual and those labeled on the implements and on the tractor.
T
HE SNOWBLOWER
Before Operation
1. Read and understand this operator's
manual and tractor operator's manual. Know
how to operate all controls and how to stop
the unit and disengage the controls quickly.
2. Never wear loose, torn, or bulky clothing
around the tractor and implement. It may
catch on moving parts or controls, leading to
the risk of accident.
3. Before the snow season, thoroughly inspect
the area where the equipment is to be used
and remove all doormats, sleds, boards and
other foreign objects.
4. Disengage clutch and shift into neutral
before starting the engine.
5. Do not operate equipment in wintertime
without wearing adequate winter garments.
6. Never attempt to make any adjustments
while engine is running. Read this manual
carefully to acquaint yourself with the
equipment as well as the tractor operator's
manual. Working with unfamiliar equipment
can lead to accidents. Be thoroughly familiar
with the controls and proper use of the
equipment. Know how to stop the unit and
disengage the controls quickly.
7. Keep all shields in place and properly
tighten all mounting hardware.
8. Periodically, inspect all moving parts for
wear and replace with authorized service
parts if an excessive amount of wear is
present.
9. Replace all missing, illegible, or damaged
safety and warning decals. See list of
decals in the operator's manual.
10. Do not modify or alter this equipment or any
of its components, or any equipment
function without first consulting your dealer.
11. Keep safety decals clean of dirt and grime.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - continued
Snowblower Operation
1. Before leaving the tractor unattended, take
all possible precautions. Disengage the
PTO, stop the engine and remove the
ignition key. Lower the implement to the
ground.
2. Before starting the snowblower, remove
any ice that has accumulated in the
auger/impeller.
3. Watch carefully for foreign objects that
could enter the blower while operating.
4. Be sure the clutch switch/lever is in OFF
position before starting engine.
5. Do not put hands or feet near rotation parts.
Keep clear of discharge opening at all
times.
6. Exercise extreme caution when operating
on or crossing a gravel drive, walks, or
roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or
traffic. Do not carry passengers.
7. Adjust collector housing height to clear
gravel or crushed rock surface.
13. Never operate snowblower near glass
enclosures, automobiles, window wells,
embankments, etc., without proper
adjustment of snow discharge angle.
14. Never operate machine at high transport
speeds on a slippery surface.
15. Use extra caution when backing up.
16. Do not direct discharge at bystanders or
animals. Ejected objects may cause injury.
17. Disengage power to auger/impeller when
transporting or when not in use.
18. Never operate the snowblower without
good visibility and lighting.
19. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can
cause impairment or loss of hearing. Wear
a suitable hearing protective device such as
earmuffs or earplugs to protect against
objectionable or uncomfortable noises
8. Stop the engine, remove the key, and allow
the rotating parts to stop before unclogging
the collector/impeller housing or chute, and
making any repairs, adjustments or
inspections. Use only a 36" long piece of
wood to unclog blower.
9. If the snowblower starts to vibrate
abnormally, stop the engine immediately
and check for cause. Excessive vibration is
generally a sign of trouble.
10. Do not run the engine indoors except when
starting engine and transporting attachment
in or out of building. Carbon monoxide gas
is colorless, odourless and deadly.
11. Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes. Do not attempt to
operate on steep slopes.
12. Never operate snowblower without guards,
and other safety protective devices in place.

HE TRACTOR
General Information
1. Read the operator's manual carefully before
using tractor. Lack of operating knowledge
can lead to accidents.
Operating the Tractor
1. Never run the tractor engine in a closed
building without adequate ventilation, as the
exhaust fumes are very dangerous.
2. Never allow an open flame near the fuel
tank or battery.
3. Make sure the shield is installed when using
a PTO-driven equipment and always
replace the shield if damaged.
4. Always bring the tractor to a complete stop,
shut off the engine, lower the implement to
the ground and remove the ignition key
before leaving the tractor.
5. Never park the tractor on a steep slope.
6. Do not attempt to operate on steep slopes.
7. Use of tire chains for better traction and
stability is recommended.
8. Always drive the tractor at speeds
compatible with safety, especially when
operating over rough ground, crossing
ditches, or when turning.
9. Handle fuel with care, as it is highly
flammable.
10. Use approved fuel container.

Never fill fuel tank indoors. Replace fuel cap
securely and wipe up spilled fuel.
13. Never allow anyone to operate the
snowblower until they are thoroughly
familiar with basic tractor and snowblower
operation.
2. Do not allow anyone but the operator to ride
on the tractor. There is no safe place for
extra riders
14. A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment
weight must be on the tractor front wheels
when attachments are in transport position.
Without this weight, tractor could tip over,
causing personal injury or death. The weight
may be attained with a loader, front wheel
weights, ballast in tires or front tractor
weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment.
Do not estimate.
15. Always make sure all snowblower
components are properly installed and
securely fastened BEFORE operation.
During Operation
1. Do not allow anyone to ride on the
tractor/snowblower at any time. There is no
safe place for passengers on this
equipment. The operator MUST sit in the
tractor seat.
2. Eye and hearing protection is
recommended when operating the
snowblower.
3. Operate only during daylight hours, or when
the area is well lit with bright artificial light.
4. Disengage the PTO (turn to “OFF”), place
the transmission in neutral, set the parking
brake, shut off the engine and remove the
key, and make sure rotating components
have stopped BEFORE leaving the
operator’s seat.
5. Inspect the snowblower after striking any

public roads, it must be equipped with an
SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) sign. Check
local traffic codes that may apply to unit
usage on public roads and highways in your
area.
2. Be alert for all other traffic when driving the
tractor/snowblower on public roads or
highways.
S
TORAGE

cautions should be taken to protect it from
deterioration.
2. Clean the snowblower thoroughly.
3. Make all the necessary repairs.

lost, or otherwise become illegible. If a part
to be replaced has a sign on it, obtain a
new safety sign from your dealer and install
it in the same place as on the removed
part.
5. Repaint all parts from which paint has worn
or peeled.
6. Lubricate the snowblower as instructed
under "Lubrication" section.
OM 0369SB1148-A 9
7. When the snowblower is dry, oil all moving
parts. Apply oil liberally to all surfaces to
