OPERATION
Each operator should review this section of the manual
at the start of the season and as often as required to
be familiar with the machine. When using, follow this
procedure:
1. Review and follow the "Pre-Operation Check List,"
page 19.
2. Review "Attaching Snow Blower to Tractor" section,
page 11.
3. Before going to the field, review "Transporting" sec-
tion, page 17.
4. Position snow blower in a level area and lower into
working position. Make sure the parking stand is in
the raised position and that the snow blower is clear
of snow and other material.
5. Starting Snow Blower:
•
Be sure area is clear of all bystanders.
•
Run engine at low idle.
•
Slowly engage PTO control to start machine.
•
Slowly bring engine to rated PTO speed. Never
exceed rated speed
6. Stopping Machine:
•
Slowly decrease engine speed to low idle.
•
Wait until PTO drive and snow blower have
slowed to low engine idle speed before disen-
gaging PTO drive.
WARNING
■ Before dismounting power unit or perform-
ing any service or maintenance, follow these
steps: disengage power to equipment, lower
the 3-point hitch and all raised components to
the ground, operate valve levers to release any
hydraulic pressure, set parking brake, stop en-
gine, remove key, and unfasten seat belt.
■ Before performing any service or maintenance,
disconnect driveline from tractor PTO.
7. Do not operate with bystanders in area. The ma-
chine can pick up stones, sticks, wire and other
debris and throw it out with enough force to cause
severe injury or death to bystanders. Shut down
machine and wait for moving parts to stop before
approaching machine.
8. Ground Speed: Travel speed can vary between
1.5 and 7 mph depending on material and terrain
conditions. It is the responsibility of the operator to
note the condition of the job being done and set the
speed to obtain proper feeding rate and maintain
safe control of machine.
9. The input driveline and side drive shaft are both
protected by shear bolts in case of shock load from
striking an obstruction. To access the shear bolts,
lift the guards, (items 3 and 4). See parts section for
bolt size and grade.
