2. The hydraulic fluid level is low and the
Snowrator MAG was stopped quickly.
3. The pressure relief valve is bad
4. A cylinder or hose is bad.
5. The hydraulic couplings are not
attached to the vehicle.
1. There is pressure build up in the

Corrective Action
1. Check the chain for break. Replace
any damaged components.
2. Check the auger for debris.
3. Inspect the auger bolts. Replace any
damaged components.
4. Inspect the sprocket keys. Replace
any damaged components.
1. Check the impeller for debris.
1. Check the hydraulic fluid level; refer to
your Snowrator MAG Owner's Manual.
2. Slow the Snowrator MAG gradually
before coming to a stop when the
hydraulic fluid is low.
3. Check the pressure relief valve,
located on the Snowrator MAG traction
unit. If the valve is contaminated, clear
or replace it.
4. Check the cylinders, hoses, and all
fittings for leaks. Tighten any loose
connections. Replace any damaged
components.
5. Connect the attachment hydraulics to
the vehicle hydraulics.
1. Loosen the hydraulic lines on the
snowthrower to relieve the pressure.
2. Wiggle the joysticks on the MAG to
relieve the pressure.
1. Check hoses for leaks. Tighten any
loose connections. Replace any
damaged components.
2. Replace the cylinder.
3. Polish the rod with steel wool. Replace
the cylinder if the pitting is too bad.
1. Ensure that the attachment coupler
lever is in the float position.
