WARNING: To avoid serious injury or
death: Never activate the Mid PTO (Mid PTO)
when the male hitch clutch lever is in the
disengaged position and when there is no
implements to mechanical drive installed.
Lifting control
The front loader hydraulic valve lever will be used
to lift the male hitch and the snowblower installed
on it.
• To LIFT the hitch and the snowblower, pull the
valve lever.
• To LOWER the hitch, slightly push the valve
lever.
• To place the snowblower in FLOAT mode, fully
push the valve lever until it engages and stays
in that position. Float mode allows the
snowblower to follow the ground when the
tractor is moving.
The use of the snowblower must be done in float
mode. However, it is possible to temporarily lock
the position of the snowblower in places where the
snow has hardened such as road edges or
compacted snow.
PRECAUTIONS to follow BEFORE each
connection (Figure 11)
1. Make sure the environment is clear and free of
any object that may interfere with the
connection.
2. Make sure the maintenance of the 4-point hitch
and equipment is up to date.
3. Make sure that the mechanical revolution of the
snowblower is functional and that there is no
residue, snow or ice that would prevent them
from functioning.
4. Make sure that the drive shafts as well as the
connection points of the two fasteners (items 1A,
1B, 2A and 2B) are clean and that they are not
covered with snow or ice.
5. Make sure that the two snowblower hitch pins
(item 3) and the two round locking pins (item 4)
are properly located on the snowblower frame.
6. Make sure that the snowblower's half driveline
(item 5) is properly installed on the "U" support
(item 6) of the snowblower's protective guard.
7. Make sure that the half male driveline (item 7) is
properly placed on top of the female hitch of the
snowblower.
8. Observe and follow the safety precautions when
operating the tractor.
9. Make sure that the mid PTO is not activated.
