MAINTENANCE
ALWAYS USE GENUINE PARTS WHEN
REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE REQUIRED
1. Keep the tractor and snowblower properly
maintained.
2. Park the tractor/snowblower on level
ground, place the transmission in neutral,
set the parking brake, disengage the
equipment drive, lower the equipment to the
ground, place all control levers in neutral,
shut off the engine and remove the ignition
key and allow the rotating parts to stop
BEFORE making any snowblower
adjustments.
3. To avoid injury, do not adjust, unclog or
service the snowblower with the tractor
engine running. Make sure rotating
components have completely stopped
before leaving the operator’s seat.
4. Keep the tractor/snowblower clean. Snow
and ice build-up can lead to malfunction or
personal injury from thawing and refreezing
in garage.
5. Always wear eye protection when cleaning
or servicing the snowblower.
6. Service the unit in safety: DO NOT service
the tractor while the engine is running or
hot, or if the unit is in motion. Always lower
snowblower to the ground. If necessary to
service unit with blower raised, securely
support with stands or suitable blocking
before working underneath. Do not rely on
hydraulically supported devices for your
safety. They can settle suddenly, leak
down, or be accidentally lowered.
7. Do not attempt to service machine, clear
obstructions or unplug blockages with the
engine running. Always shut off engine and
allow all motion to cease.
8. The manufacturer will not claim
responsibility for fitment of unapproved
parts and/or accessories and any damages
as a result of their use.
9. Make sure all shields and guards are
securely in place following all service,
cleaning, or repair work.
10. Do not modify or alter this equipment or
any of its components or operating
functions. If you have questions concerning
modifications, consult with your dealer.
11. Do not operate a unit, which is defective or
has missing parts. Make sure that all
recommended maintenance procedures
are completed before operating the unit.
12. Check all controls regularly and adjust
where necessary. Make sure that the
brakes are evenly adjusted.
13. Periodically check all nuts and bolts for
tightness, especially wheel hub and rim
nuts.
14. Snowblower fan and auger must be
checked for tightness. Remove any twine,
wire, etc. that may have wrapped on the
fan or the auger.
15. To avoid serious personal injury: Escaping
hydraulic/diesel fluid under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
Do not use your hands to check for leaks.
Use a piece of cardboard or paper to
search for leaks.
16. Stop engine and relieve pressure before
connecting or disconnecting lines. Tighten
all connections before starting engine or
pressurizing lines.
