OPERATION
OM 0495SB-A [34]
OPERATION
Engine speed
1. Start the tractor. Allow the engine to warm up
for at least one minute, then engage the drive
mechanism and gradually increase the engine
speed.
2. Make sure the snowblower head is properly
positioned and start the drive mechanism.
3. Adjust ground speed as needed. For
maximum power, run the engine at or near full
throttle.
IMPORTANT: Use the maximum revolution
speed when clearing snow with wet and/or
sticky snow. Too low a revolution speed will
tend to obstruct the chute.
Increased Adhesion and Stability
WARNING: To avoid serious injury or
death:
Always make sure the tractor is using a 350
lbs rear counterweight that provides the
balance necessary to prevent overturning,
loss of traction or steering.
Engaging the Drive Mechanism
See the Tractor Operator's Manual for
operating instructions.
Controls
The front loader hydraulic valve lever is used to
lift the male hitch and the attachments to be
installed on it.
• To LIFT the hitch and equipment, pull the valve
lever.
• To LOWER the hitch, slightly push the valve
lever.
• To place the equipment in FLOAT mode, fully
push the valve lever until it engages and
remains in this position. Float mode allows
implements to follow the ground perfectly
when the tractor is in motion.
• •To orient the chute to the LEFT, push the
valve lever slightly to the left.
• To orient the chute to the RIGHT, push the
valve lever slightly to the right.
IMPORTANT: The snowblower must always be
used in the float mode.
However, it is possible to momentarily lock the
position of a snowblower in areas where the snow
has hardened such as on road edges or
compacted snow.
