OPERATION ENERAL REPARATION DJUSTMENTS 1. Read the operator’s manual carefully before Chain Tension Adjustment using the tractor and snowblower. Be (Figure 32) thoroughly familiar with the controls and The premature wear of the chain may be caused by proper use of the equipment. Know how to tension being too tight.
OPERATION EMOVAL ETHODS 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.
MAINTENANCE AINTENANCE Shearbolts Check the shearbolts indicated on the figure WARNING below at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure the blower is in safe working condition. Provide adequate blocking before working Figure 33: To access the shear bolts, pull up the under the snowblower when in the raised access pannel (item 1) located near the chain.
