OPERATION
OM 0495SB-A [28]
Procedure to follow to Connect the
Snowblower (Figures 11 to 17)
It is important to follow these steps in
the given order. IMPORTANT: Read the
"Precautions BEFORE Connection" on
the previous page
➢ STEP 1: Figure 11: Start the tractor,
release the parking brake, drive slowly,
making sure to align the female hitch on the
snowblower with the male hitch on the
tractor. Lower the male tractor hitch
sufficiently so that the two upper points of
the hitch (item 1A) fit into the tube openings
(item 2A) of the female hitch of the
snowblower.
➢ STEP 2: Figure 11: Using the tractor
hydraulic control lever, lift the snowblower
fully upwards in order to properly position
the snowblower hitch with the male hitch on
the tractor. This step will allow the bushings
of the male hitch (item 1B) to align well with
the bushings of the female hitch of the
snowblower (item 2B)
WARNING: To avoid serious injury or
death, always activate the tractor
hydraulic control lever lock, apply the
parking brake and turn off the engine
before dismounting the tractor to connect
and disconnect equipment.
➢ STEP 3: Figure 12: Insert the two
snowblower hitch pins (item 8) into the
snowblower hitch bushings (item 9) and
secure with the ø1/4" x 1 3/4" round locking
pins(item 10).
➢ STEP 4: Figure 13: Remove the "U"
support (item 11) which retains the female
half driveline of the snowblower and secure
it in the opposite direction (upwards) using
the two 2.5mm x 40mm hair pins. (item 13)
IMPORTANT: The hairpins
(Figure 13a, item 13) must be in the
position shown in the figure.
➢ STEP 5: Figures 14-15: Place the male half
driveline (item 14) below the subframe (item
16) in order to insert it into the female half
driveline (item 15) of the snowblower. Then
fix the male driveline (item 14) on the output
driveline of the subframe (item 17). To do this,
release the locking collar (item 14a) by
moving it backwards and push on the fork
(item 14b) to connect the driveline to the
output driveline of the subframe (item 17) .
Release the fork and make sure that the
locking collar has returned to its place. Pull
and push on the male driveline (item 17) to
make sure it is properly connected.
CAUTION: To avoid serious injury or
death: Make sure the quick coupler is
properly connected. You should hear a
"click" when connecting.
➢ STEP 6: Figures 16-17: Pass the hoses
(item 1a and 1b) through the two hose
supports (item 2) of the subframe and install
the two identification rings according to the
color of their other end. Then attach the
hydraulic couplings and the snowblower's
electrical connector to the hydraulic
couplings and the tractor’s electrical
connector as shown in the figure. Finally,
secure the two hoses with three nylon tie
wraps (item 3) and the two hose protectors
(item 4) at the locations shown in the figure.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the hydraulic
couplings and electrical connectors are
clean before connecting them
➢ STEP 7: Using the hydraulic control lever
lower the snowblower to the ground.
➢ STEP 8: Adjust the engine revolution at low
speed and activate the mechanical
revolution. Increase the revolution gradually
until the revolution is at full speed and start
using the snowblower.
IMPORTANT: The clutch of the mechanical
revolution must always be done at low
speed so as not to damage the mechanical
components.
