START-UP PROCEDURES
1) Check oil level in gearbox. Use S.A.E. W90 gear
box oil.
2) Lubricate all points with a good quality
multipurpose grease.
3) Check chain take-up adjustment. The spring
maintaining the tension must be compressed to a
length between 3" and 3 1/4".
4) Verify for adequate tightness of all fastening
devices. Refer to torque chart on page 50.
5) Adjust skid shoes according to ground conditions
(Fig. 31).
6) Following the installation of the Snowblower on
the tractor, do not forget to lift the storage sup-
port (Fig. 32).
7) Make sure of a 540 RPM input to your
snowblower.
8) Check impeller adjustment. The tip of the blades
should be approximately 1/8" to 3/16" from the
discharge wall of the drum. If necessary, adjust
with the take-up screws provided (Fig. 33).
9) In order to avoid damaging your snowblower,
adjust the speed of descent of your 3 point hitch to
prevent striking the ground too hard.
10) Adjust the hydraulic flow in order to have a good
control of the rotation speed of the chute.
