deflector (see adjustments section). The more the
deflector is open, the greater the distance will be.
To direct the location of the projection, use the control of
the rotation of the chute (see subsection control and
display of the operation section
Snow removal
When removing snow, do not use the snowblower as
a dozer blade to push snow. Allow snowblower to
ingest snow at its own speed. If the speed of your
tractor is too fast, the snowblower may become
overloaded and plug. For best results, raise the
snowblower and remove a top layer of snow. A
second pass with the snowblower will remove the
remaining snow
.
NOTE:
To increase the life span of the components,
always disengage the snowblower when it is raised.
IMPORTANT:
Always inspect hydraulic components and
hoses before use. Replace any damaged or worn parts. If
you suspect a leak in the hoses, NEVER use your hand to
locate it. Use a piece of cardboard or wood.
A. Make sure the snowblower is free of snow before
engaging the snowblower.
B. Make sure the fan and auger turn freely
C. Start the vehicle engine.
D. Before engaging the snowblower, the engine should be
running at low speed.
E.
Operate the snowblower at maximum speed when
removing wet or sticky snow. A low engine speed will
tend to obstruct the chute.
F.
Always use the accessory with float mode. To do this,
push the tractor hydraulic lever to the float position.
