OPERATION
OM 0472SB-A [14]
GENERAL PREPARATION
1. Read the operator's manual carefully before
using the tractor and snowblower. Be
thoroughly familiar with the controls and
proper use of the equipment. Know how to
stop the unit and disengage the controls
quickly.
2. Wear adequate winter outer garments while
operating the equipment.
3. Make sure the snowblower is clear of snow
and other material before engaging the
snowblower.
4. Make sure the auger and fan operate freely.
5. Check the oil level in the reduction box and
gear box and if necessary, add AGMA 5EP
extreme pressure oil, SAE 80W90 gear oil or
equivalent.
6. Check the two shear bolts, one on the fan
and one on the driving shaft for proper
tightness.
7. Adjust the skid shoes so the snowblower
runs leveled.
8. Before engaging the snowblower drive,
always have the engine running at idle.
9. Operate the snowblower at maximum
engine RPM.
Engine Speed
1. Start the tractor engine. Let the engine warm
up at least one minute before engaging the
drive mechanism then increase speed
gradually.
2. Make sure the snowblower head is properly
positioned and engage the drive mechanism.
3. Adjust the ground speed according to
conditions. For maximum power, run engine
at or near full throttle.
IMPORTANT : Use full RPM power when
removing wet, sticky snow. Low RPM power
will tend to clog the chute.
WARNING : To avoid serious personal
injury: Do not use your hands to unclog the
chute. Use a 36" (925mm) stick or board. Do
not attempt to unclog the chute while engine
is running. If the chute is clogged, shut off
the tractor engine, remove the key and allow
the rotating parts to stop before removing the
snow from the chute.
Increasing Traction and Stability
The use of approved tire chains and wheel
weights or rear weights is recommended for
extra traction and stability, especially when
operating in snow and/or on slippery surfaces.
