Section 5: Operating Instructions
3. Carefully raise and lower implement to ensure
drawbar, tires, and other equipment on the tractor do
not contact Snow Blower frame or driveline.
4. Check driveline guards to make certain they are in
good working condition and in place.
5. Check driveline to be sure it is securely connected to
tractor power take-off shaft and Snow Blower
gearbox shaft.
6. Check for and remove foreign objects wrapped
around auger and Impeller.
7. Check for bent, broken, and extreme wear on auger
flighting and impeller. Repair auger and impeller as
required.
8. Remove solid supports from under the Snow Blower
and verify skid shoes or outer wear bars are set at the
correct height.
The remaining inspections are made by engaging power
take-off to check for auger and impeller interferences.
!
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death: Stop power take-off
immediately if auger or impeller makes contact with the Snow
Blower housing. Wait for the power take-off to come to a
complete stop before dismounting from the tractor to check for
probable causes. Make necessary repairs before continuing
on.
!
CAUTION
To avoid minor or moderate injury: Some tractors are
equipped with two power take-off speeds. Do not exceed 540
rpm power take-off speed or equipment breakage may result.
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed rated power take-off
speed. Excessive engine speed will cause damage
to power train components.
9. Start tractor, set throttle to idle or slightly above idle,
and slowly engage power take-off.
10. Once Snow Blower is running smoothly, increase
tractor power take-off speed to 540 rpm. Stop power
take-off immediately if an unusual sound is heard.
11. Investigate cause of noise and make repairs before
putting Snow Blower back into service.
Transporting
!
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
When traveling on public roadways, travel in such a way that
faster moving vehicles may pass safely. Use accessory lights,
clean reflectors, and a slow moving vehicle sign that is visible
from the back to warn operators in other vehicles of your
presence. Always comply with all federal, state, and local
laws.

IMPORTANT: Always disengage power take-off and
wait for driveline to stop rotating before raising
implement to transport position.
1. Make sure driveline does not contact tractor or Snow
Blower when raising unit to transport position.
2. Reduce tractor ground speed when turning and leave
enough clearance so Snow Blower does not contact
obstacles such as buildings, trees, or fences.
3. Limit transport speed to 20 mph. Transport only with
a tractor of sufficient size and horsepower.
4. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way
that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.
5. Shift tractor to a lower gear when traveling over rough
or hilly terrain.
General Operation Instructions
It is important that you familiarize yourself with the
Operator's Manual, complete Operator's Checklist,
properly attach the Snow Blower to your tractor, and
make leveling adjustments before running an operational
safety check. If you detect a malfunction in either the
Snow Blower or tractor during the operational safety
check, immediately shut tractor off, remove switch key,
and make all necessary repairs/adjustments before
continuing.
Make sure the tractor park brake is engaged, power take-
off is disengaged, and Snow Blower is resting on the
ground before starting tractor for the operational safety
check. Start tractor and set engine throttle speed at a low
idle. Raise Snow Blower with tractor's rear hydraulic lift
control lever to transport position making sure that the
driveline does not bind and does not contact the Snow
Blower frame. Lower Snow Blower to the ground and at a
low engine speed engage power take-off. If everything is
running smoothly at a low idle, slowly increase tractor
engine rpm until it reaches the Snow Blower's full power
take-off operating speed of 540 rpm. If everything is still
running smoothly, return engine to low idle, and
disengage power take-off.
You should now be ready to transport to your snow
blowing site at a safe ground speed. On roadways
transport in such a manner that faster moving vehicles
can easily see you and pass you safely. Reduce your
speed when traveling over rough and hilly terrain. Avoid
quick or sharp steering corrections. Take extra care to
ensure that the Snow Blower doesn't come into contact
with obstacles such as trees, buildings, or fences. Use
accessory lights and appropriate reflective devices to
provide adequate warning to pedestrians and other
vehicle operators when traveling on public roads and in
the dark of night. Comply with all local, state, and federal
laws.
