OPERaTION

Read this owner's manual and safety rules before
operating your tractor with the Snow Cab.
CaUTION: watch out for low tree limbs and
other overhead objects which may interfere
with the snow cab.
CaUTION: This cab provides foul weather
protection only. It does not provide protection
against exhaust fumes, collision, rollover or
other accidents.
CaUTION: Never transport the tractor in an
open truck or open trailer while the snow cab
is attached.
• Check the area of operation thoroughly before using
the tractor with the snow cab. The added height of the
snow cab and a reduced field of vision require extra
caution during operation.
• Enter the snow cab on the left side at the rear.
Unfasten the elastic hook at the bottom and the velcro
fastener in the top in the rear corner.
• Operate outside controls on a snowthrower or snow
blade through the access flaps in the sides of the
canopy.
• Up to three suitcase type weights can be added
to the weight bracket on the snow cab to increase
traction of the rear tires.
• Remove the upper snow cab frame and canopy
before you transport the tractor in an open truck or
open trailer.

MaINTENaNCE

• Before each use make a thorough visual check of
the snow cab for any bolts and nuts which may have
loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.

running water, or a mild liquid soap and water. Wash
the windows with your bare hands only. A cloth,
