SNOW REMOVAL METHODS
When removing snow, do not use the snowblower as a dozer blade to push snow. Let the snowblower
work its way through deep drifts. If the speed of your tractor is too fast, the snowblower may become
overloaded and clog. For best results, raise the snowblower and remove a top layer of snow. A second
pass with the snowblower will remove the remaining snow.
IMPORTANT: Use full RPM power when removing wet, sticky snow. Low RPM power will tend to clog
the chute.
WARNING: Do not use hands or feet to unclog chute. Do not attempt to clear clogged chute
of snow while tractor engine is running. If the chute clogs, disengage the PTO according to
owner's manual, shut off the tractor engine, remove the ignition key, wait for all movement to
stop, and then clear the snow from the chute.
A definite pattern of operation is required to thoroughly clean the snow area. These patterns will
avoid throwing snow in unwanted places as well as eliminating a need to perform a second pass
with the snowblower.
Where it is possible to throw the snow to the left
and right (above), as on a long driveway, it is
advantageous to start in the middle. Plow from
one end to the other, throwing snow to both sides
without changing the direction of the chute.
If the snow can only be thrown to one side of the
driveway or sidewalk (above), start on the
opposite side. At the end of the first pass, rotate
the discharge guide 180 degrees for the return
pass. At the end of each succeeding pass, rotate
the chute 180 degrees to maintain direction of
throw in the same area.
