ALAMO INDUSTRIAL SNOW BLOWER 8650A
ALAMO INDUSTRIAL SNOW BLOWER 8650A is manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. This
snow blower is designed for removing accumulations of snow from driveways, barnyards, roadways, and parking
lots. The implement is equipped with enough protective gear to maintain the objects being thrown from SNOW
BLOWER 8650A to prevent injury to bystanders and others, however, no shielding is 100% accurate. All shields
and guards must be maintained in good operational condition.
It is the operator's responsibility to be knowledgeable of all potential operating hazards and to take every reasonable
precaution to ensure oneself, others, animals, and property are not injured or damaged by the SNOW BLOWER
8650A, tractor, or a thrown object. Do not operate the implement if passersby, pets, livestock, or property are
within 200 feet of the unit.
This section of the Operator's Manual is designed to familiarize, instruct, and educate safe and proper implement
use to the operator. Pictures contained in this section are intended to be used as a visual aid to assist in
explaining the operation of a SNOW BLOWER 8650A and are not necessarily of a SNOW BLOWER 8650A.
Some pictures may show shields removed for picture clarity. NEVER OPERATE these implements without all
shields in place and in good operational condition. The operator must be familiar with the SNOW BLOWER
8650A and tractor operation and all associated safety practices before operating the SNOW BLOWER 8650A and
tractor. Proper operation of the SNOW BLOWER 8650A, as detailed in this manual, will help ensure years of safe
and satisfactory use.
IMPORTANT: To avoid implement damage, retorque all bolts after the first 10 hours of operation.
