OPERATING
TIPS
A
5.
1.
Whenever
possible,
discharge
snow
down
wind.
Do not attempt to
remove
ice or hard
packed
frozen snow.
Always
overlap each
pass
slightly to as-
sure complete
snow removal.
Use
extreme
care
when
freeing
a frozen
or
stuck auger
or
chute. Always
turn
off
the tractor
first.
If
tractor is
equipped with Hydraulls
T,iff,
operate with
the lift lever in
the
"float"
(full
forward)
position.
Never
apply down
pressure
to the snow
blower. With
the
hydraulic
lift lever
in the
?'floatrr
posi-
tion,
the skid shoes
will remain
on the
surface
even though operating
on uneven
terrain.

METHODS
OF SNOW
REMOVAL
Fisure

A
definite
pattern
of operation is
required
to thoroughly clean the snow area. This
pattern
wiII avoid a
second
removal
of
snow
and avoid blowing snow in unwanted
places.
Where it is
possible
to blow snow to
right
and
left, as
on
a long
driveway, it is ad-
vantageous
to
start
in
the middle. See
Figure 2.
Work
from one
end
to
the oppo-
site end blowing snow to both sides

changing
direction
of discharge
chute.
If
snow
can
only
be blown
to one side
of
the
driveway,
start
on
the
opposite
side.
See
Figure
3. At
the end
of
each
pass,
rotate
chute
to
opposite
side
for
the return
pass.
At
the
end
of each
succeeding
pass,
rotate
chute
to
opposite
side
to maintain
direction
of
throw into
the
same
area.
TIRE
CHAINS
AND WHEEL WEIGHTS
The use of
tire
chains
anC
r,vheel weights,
Figure
4,
is recommended
for snow
re-
moval
operation. The extra
traction
re-
sulting
gives
the
tractor operator maneu-
verability
in handling
heavy
snow
removal
jobs.
These
accessories
are
sold by
your
dealer and are
not included
with
the
snow
blower.
The same wheel
weights
can also
be
attached
to the front
of thetractorwhengardenplowing
or tilling by adding
the Model
H18
Front
Weight
Bracket Kit.
For
added
traction
on
soft
ground,
snow
or
ice.
