Operating The Snow Blower - Schulte SDX-117 Operator's Manual

11. OPERATING THE SNOW BLOWER

When ready for field use, stop the snow blower
and set the chute deflector to the desired position.
Make sure that the blade is running at an even
height at both ends. Ensure scraper blade
clearances of about 1/4" are set for paved
surfaces. Also when running over uneven or
gravel surfaces keep blade clearance at about 1"
to avoid blowing rocks & debris.
Before operating the snow blower recheck that all
fasteners, nuts, bolts, screws and cotter pins are in
place and all bolts are torqued to specification.
Only operate the snow blower in conditions were you have clear visibility in daylight or with
adequate artificial lighting. Never snow blow in darkness or in conditions where you cannot
clearly see at least 100 yards in front and to the sides of the Tractor and Snow Blower. Make
sure that you can clearly see and identify passersby, steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs,
overhead obstructions, power lines, debris and foreign objects. If you are unable to clearly
see these types of items, discontinue snow blowing.
DO NOT operate this Implement on a Tractor that is not properly maintained. Should a
mechanical or Tractor control failure occur while operating, immediately shut down the
Tractor and perform repairs before resuming operation. Serious injury and possible death
could occur from not maintaining this Implement and Tractor in good operating condition.
36) str
Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors with the windows
closed.
When operating on a snow blower with a 3-point
hitch be sure to carefully read the Operator's
manual of your tractor, and familiarize yourself
with the 3-point hitch and power take-off controls.
Always adjust the tractor's rate of lower control so
that the snow blower can be lowered at a safe
speed.
