When removing snow, do not use the snowblower as a dozer blade to push snow. Let the snowblower
work its way through deep drifts. If the speed of your tractor is too fast, the snowblower may become
overloaded and clog. For best results, raise the snowblower and remove a top layer of snow. A
second pass with the snowblower will remove the remaining snow.
IMPORTANT: Use full RPM power when removing wet, sticky snow. Low RPM power will tend to clog
the chute.
WARNING: Do not use hands or feet to unclog chute. Do not attempt to clear clogged
chute of snow while tractor engine is running. If the chute clogs, disengage the drive shaft,
place the transmission in neutral, set the parking brake, lower the implement to the ground,
shut off the tractor engine, remove the ignition key, wait for all movement to stop, and then
clear the snow from the chute.
A definite pattern of operation is required to thoroughly clean the snow area. These patterns will avoid
throwing snow in unwanted places as well as eliminating a second removal of snow.
