When implement is ready to blow snow do not use the snowblower to PUSH SNOW! Let the machine work its
way through deep drifts and hard packed snow. For best results keep the snow blower fan running at rated
PTO speed. If the tractor engine starts to labour, gear down.
Do not continuously operate the snow blower in transport position, as this will shorten the life of the universal
joints.
Tractor chains and weighted tires will increase traction and improve performance especially in icy conditions.
The casting chute should not plug during normal operation. However, if fan RPM is allowed to drop drastically
in wet, sticky conditions, or if a sheat bolt breaks in the fan the casting chute may plug. If the chute should plug,
try raising the snow blower to transport position and the dropping it suddenly, if this fails to clear blockage, the
casting chute will have to be manually cleared.
The performance of the skid steer mounted snow blower is dependent on the hydraulic flow rate available.
Snow Blowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing
objects for great distances (200 feet or more). Do not allow the
snow stream to fall on passersby. Ice, debris and heavy snow
thrown from the snow blower can cause serious injury or death.

STOP SNOW BLOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 200 FEET.
When blowing snow with two machines in the same area be sure that windows are closed.

Operate the Tractor and/or Implement controls only while properly seated in the Tractor seat
with the seat belt securely fastened around you.
Implement may cause serious injury or death.
Use extreme care when transporting the snow blower on public highways and roads.
snow blower and the tractor is longer in length. The implement is also wider than the tractor. Allow ample
clearance when transporting the tractor and implement to insure that they do not contact any bystanders,
signs, road structures, or other vehicles.
