SNOW REMOVAL METHODS
When removing snow, do not use the snowblower as a dozer blade to push snow. Let the snowblower
work its way through deep drifts. If the speed of your tractor is too fast, the snowblower may become
overloaded and clog. For best results, raise the snowblower and remove a top layer of snow. A
second pass with the snowblower will remove the remaining snow.
IMPORTANT: Use full RPM power when removing wet, sticky snow. Low RPM power will tend to clog
the chute.
WARNING: Do not use hands or feet to unclog chute. Do not attempt to clear clogged
chute of snow while tractor engine is running. If the chute clogs, disengage the PTO according
to owner's manual, shut off the tractor engine, remove the ignition key, wait for all movement
to stop, and then clear the snow from the chute.
A definite pattern of operation is required to thoroughly clean the snow area. These patterns
will avoid throwing snow in unwanted places as well as eliminating a need to perform a second
pass with the snowblower.
Where it is possible to throw the snow to the left
and right (above), as on a long driveway, it is
advantageous to start in the middle. Plow from
one end to the other, throwing snow to both
sides without changing the direction of the
chute.
If the snow can only be thrown to one side of
the driveway or sidewalk (above), start on the
opposite side. At the end of the first pass,
rotate the discharge guide 180 degrees for the
return pass. At the end of each succeeding
pass, rotate the chute 180 degrees to maintain
direction of throw in the same area.
