WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury:
• Before cleaning, adjusting or repairing
the snowblower: bring the tractor to a
complete stop, lower the implement
shut off the engine and remove the
ignition key.
• Never park the tractor inside a building
where an open flame or sparks are
present. Allow the engine to cool down
before storing in any enclosure.
• Run the snowblower a few minutes
after blowing snow to prevent freeze up
of auger and fan.
• Provide adequate blocking before
working under the snowblower when in
raised position.
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 PTO, lower the
snowblower 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, unblock
the driving system, or service the
snowblower with the tractor engine
running.
4. Keep the tractor/snowblower clean. Snow, dirt
or 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 or subframe.
6. 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 snowblower in raised position, 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 unclog the snowblower with the
engine running. Always shut off engine and allow
all motion to cease.

fitment of unapproved parts and/or accessories
and any damages as a result of their use.

place following all service, cleaning, or repair
work.
10. Do not modify or alter this snowblower or any of
its components or operating functions. If you
have questions concerning modifications,
consult with your dealer.

has missing parts. Make sure that all
recommended maintenance procedures are
completed before operating the snowblower.

necessary. Make sure that the brakes are
evenly adjusted.

tightness, especially wheel hub and rim nuts.
