Page 7: Set-Up Assembly
SET-UP ASSEMBLY Manual Rotation Discharge Chute Installation 1. Bolt the hand crank support bracket to the upper arm, and insert the crank tube. Bolt the lower end of the crank tube to the spool. The crank handle length is adjustable. Start with the crank in the shortest position until the snowblower is mounted to the tractor for the first time.
Page 8 SET-UP ASSEMBLY 9. Turn the crank handle clockwise to wind up the cable on the lower part of the spool. Keep tension on the loose end of the cable while cranking so that the cable on the spool doesn’t unwind. Stop cranking when the chute faces the front left corner of the snowblower body.
Page 9 SET-UP ASSEMBLY Hydraulic Rotation Discharge Chute Installation 1. Remove one of the roller guides from the snowblower housing by removing the bolt securing the roller guide. 2. Remove the chain cover from the snowblower housing by removing the two bolts securing the cover.
Page 10 SET-UP ASSEMBLY Mounting and Adjusting the Snowblower 1. Install the splined yoke of the driveline on the snowblower gearbox shaft. This end of the driveline is secured with a sliding lock collar like the tractor end. Pull back on the collar and push the yoke onto the gearbox shaft.
Page 11 SET-UP ASSEMBLY 5. After the snowblower backward tilt is determined and set, the driveline telescoping length must be checked. 6. With the snowblower resting on the ground, connect the driveline to the tractor PTO shaft and mark the location of overlap on the driveline. Check to make sure that there is sufficient clearance between the driveline and the tractor drawbar.
Page 12 SET-UP ASSEMBLY 11. With the operator in the seat of the tractor and the seat belt fastened, start the engine. With the engine at an idle, check that the hydraulic functions are working properly by rotating the chute all the way in both directions. 12.
Page 13: Mounting Instructions
PTO drive is engaged. IMPORTANT: Maximum driveline extension is 9” for the 54” and 60” models, and 17” for the 72” and 84” models. This allows for a minimum overlap of 5”. Extending beyond these lengths could allow the driveline to separate and lead to equipment damage.
Page 14 MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS 4. If the snowblower is equipped with the hydraulic chute rotation option, connect the snowblower chute rotation hoses to the tractor’s remote hydraulic couplers (see the tractor’s operator’s manual for remote hydraulic coupler locations and connection instructions). Make sure hoses are routed so that they will not catch on any part of the tractor or snowblower or contact any moving parts during operation.
Page 15: Operating Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Know your work area. Avoid obstructions and debris. 1. Before starting the tractor engine, check to see that the snowblower is nearly level to the ground. This creates a straighter driveline angle and can be accomplished by adjusting the length of the tractor’s 3-point top link (refer to the tractor’s operator’s manual for top link adjustment instructions).
Page 16 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4. With the operator in the operator’s position, check 9. Increase the tractor engine speed to full throttle. to be sure all operating controls are in neutral and Always operate the snowblower with the engine at start the engine. full throttle for maximum efficiency.
Page 17 _____________________ROUTINE MAINTENANCE________________ Lower the attachment to rest flat on the ground, disengage the PTO drive, shut down the engine, relieve hydraulic pressure to the attachment, set the park brake, and wait for all motion to stop before leaving the operator’s position or approaching the attachment to perform service of any kind. It is the operator’s responsibility to make daily inspections of the tractor and attachment for damage, loose bolts, fluid leaks, or anything else that could cause a potential service or safety problem.
Page 18: Routine Maintenance
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Grease the three chute roller guides every 40 hours of operation. Use clean engine oil or roller chain lubricant to lubricate the chute rotator chain (if equipped) every 40 hours of operation. Grease the bearings on each end of the auger every 80 hours of operation.
Page 19 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Gearbox Oil Level Check and Fill Check the auger drive gearbox oil level monthly. To check the oil level, remove the set screw dipstick from the top of the gearbox and inspect for proper oil level. If low, add SAE 80W-90 gear oil and recheck with dipstick.
Page 20 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Discharge Chute Adjustment (Manual Rotation) 1. Rotate the chute all the way to the side needing adjustment. 2. Loosen the set screw holding the cable in place. 3. Using pliers, pull the cable through the hole until the cable is tight. 4.
