The blade control Joystick Valve has 5 positions of operation. Pulling back on the Joystick Valve will raise the blade to the up position (off the ground for transport of transition). Pulling the Joystick Valve to the left tilts the blade to the left allowing to angle the snow to the left.
SPRAYING OPERATIONS The Snowrator spray system has a liquid storage tank of 20 gallons that can disperse a host of liquid and/or wettable powder. To get maximum life and performance out of the spray system, it is recommended that the tank, nozzles and hoses be flushed of all products after each use.
Spreader Operation (Optional) The Snowrator unit has an optional 120 lb. spreader that can be mounted to the machine. This electric hopper motor with the spreader control rate knob allows variable spread widths from 3 to 25 feet. This depends on volume/density, particle size and rate of travel, and weather conditions.
SECTION 6 TROUBLE SHOOTING Troubleshooting Engine: Not starting. There are a few reasons as to why your engine fails to start. If the engine does not turn over, then the battery could be dead, bad connection to the battery wires, key switch may be bad, 30 AMP fuse on the wiring harness (orange wire) may be blown or the starter solenoid may be bad (you will hear the starter solenoid trying to click on, but nothing is happening).

Granular: There are numerous potential challenges that can happen on the granular side due to the amount of use this portion of the unit sees. If product is not spreading evenly or consistently, then look for a few things with your hopper impeller or hopper diffuser.
