ALAMO INDUSTRIAL SNOW BLOWER
The ALAMO INDUSTRIAL SNOWBLOWER is manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. This snow
blower is designed for removing accumulations of snow from roadways and parking lots. The implement is equipped
with enough protective gear to maintain the objects being thrown from SNOWBLOWER to prevent injury to
bystanders and others, however, no shielding is 100% accurate. All shields and guards must be maintained in
good operational condition.
It is the operator's responsibility to be knowledgeable of all potential operating hazards and to take every reasonable
precaution to ensure oneself, others, animals, and property are not injured or damaged by the SNOWBLOWER,
tractor, or a thrown object. Do not operate the implement if passersby, pets, livestock, or property are within 200
feet of the unit.
This section of the Operator's Manual is designed to familiarize, instruct, and educate safe and proper implement
use to the operator. Pictures contained in this section are intended to be used as a visual aid to assist in
explaining the operation of a SNOWBLOWER and are not necessarily of a SNOWBLOWER. Some pictures may
show shields removed for picture clarity. NEVER OPERATE these implements without all shields in place and in
good operational condition. The operator must be familiar with the SNOWBLOWER operation and all associated
safety practices before operating the SNOWBLOWER. Proper operation of the SNOWBLOWER, as detailed in
this manual, will help ensure years of safe and satisfactory use.
IMPORTANT: To avoid implement damage, retorque all bolts after the first 10 hours of operation.
