SAFETY RULES

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by an operator’s single careless act.

In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgement, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.

It has been said “The best safety device is an informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that kind of operator.

TRAINING

Safety instructions are important! Read all attachment and power unit manuals; follow all safety rules and safety decal information. (Replacement manuals and safety decals are available from your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com, or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319- 6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules can result in serious injury or death.

If you do not understand any part of this manual and need assistance, see your dealer.

Know your controls and how to stop engine and attachment quickly in an emergency.

Operators must be instructed in and be capable of the safe operation of the equipment, its attachments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper instructions.

Keep hands and body away from pressurized lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles. Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate skin and will cause serious injury or death.

Make sure that all operating and service personnel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it must be surgically removed as soon as possible by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene, serious injury, or death will result. CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.

Never allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment.

PREPARATION

Check that all hardware is properly installed. Always tighten to torque chart specifications unless instructed otherwise in this manual.

Air in hydraulic systems can cause erratic operation and allows loads or equipment components to drop unexpectedly. When connecting equipment or hoses or performing any hydraulic maintenance, purge any air in hydraulic system by operating all hydraulic functions several times. Do this before putting into service or allowing anyone to approach the equipment.

Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

Make sure attachment is properly secured, adjusted, and in good operating condition.

Make sure all safety decals are installed. Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for location.)

Make sure shields and guards are properly installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.

Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO spline groove.

A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be on the tractor front wheels when attachments are in transport position. Without this weight, front tractor wheels could raise up resulting in loss of steering. The weight may be attained with front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front tractor weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not estimate.

Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or other hard objects that might be thrown, causing injury or damage.

OPERATION

Never place hands or body into discharge chute or auger to unclog. Stored energy can cause auger to quickly rotate when unclogging occurs and cause severe injury or amputation. Stop engine, remove key, disconnect driveline, and carefully unclog, using a sturdy piece of wood.

Keep bystanders away from equipment.

Never direct discharge toward people, animals, or property.

NOTICE

■ Be sure to complete the Pre-Operation Check

List on page 16 prior to operating this Snowblower.

PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS

The snowblower has three main operating components. A 15" diameter auger dislodges the snow and carries it to a central fan. The snow is then discharged by the fan and directed away from the blower through a controllable spout.

10 Operation	MAN0884 (08/15/2011)

The snowblower is mounted on a tractor 3-point hitch and driven by the tractor PTO. A centrally located gearbox directs power to the fan and auger.

TRACTOR REQUIREMENTS

3-Point Hitch

The SS snowblower requires the tractor to be equipped with a Category 2 or 3, three-point hitch.

Hydraulic Circuit

Either closed-center or open-center systems can be used for the hydraulic chute rotator and optional spout control.

Tire Configuration

For best results, the tractor wheels should be set narrower than the cutting width of the snowblower. Wider wheel settings will cause snow to be pulled under the tractor and may require additional passes.

Tractor Stability

Figure 1. Tractor Stability (Typical)

HITCH ADJUSTMENT

AWARNING

Before putting equipment into service, check and adjust driveline length as instructed in Operator's Manual. Driveline must not bottom out or pull apart throughout the full range of the tractor hitch. Do not operate until driveline length is correct.

edly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Operator's Manual instructions for working underneath and blocking requirements or have work done by a qualified dealer.

Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.

The snowblower has an adjustable hitch for establishing the proper PTO operating geometry. You must perform the following procedure for each tractor or quick hitch used.

Follow the above safety rules and securely block the snowblower with jackstands when taking measurements. Always stand alongside of hitch and never go underneath any raised components. The tractor must be shut off, parking brake set, and key removed each time the operator leaves the tractor seat during this procedure. Refer to Figure 2.

1. Clear the area of all bystanders.

Figure 2. 3-Point Hitch Adjustment Positions

2.The snowblower 3-point hitch arms are adjustable to three operating positions. Assemble the arms in their shortest position (A) and adjust for proper PTO driveline engagement before using. Remove adjustment bolts from snowblower lower arms and top link arm. Slide the arm assembly to the correct mounting hole and install adjustment bolts. Torque bolts to specifications in Bolt Torque Chart on page 32.

3.Attach snowblower to tractor, but do not attach PTO shaft.

4.Move snowblower until tractor PTO and gearbox shafts are the same height. This should be the position requiring the shortest driveline length. Securely block both ends of snowblower housing using jackstands.

5.Measure the distance between the lock groove on tractor PTO shaft and the cross hole in snowblower gearbox shaft. The distance between the groove and cross hole must be greater than 37.5" to provide one inch of compression space in the shaft and prevent bottoming out during use.

6.If the dimension is less than 37.5", the hitch must be extended to mounting hole B. Recheck the
