WARNING
Always raise the snowthrower before turning or backing up,
to prevent damage to the unit.
Transporting
1. Disengage the electric clutch and then raise the
snowthrower.
2. Adjust ground speed according to surface
conditions.
3. Select a low ground speed when transporting on a
slippery surface.
Engine & Ground Speed Selection
Always run the engine at full throttle.
Normally, a slow ground speed is best for throwing
snow. The deeper or heavier the snow, the slower the
recommended ground speed.
Starting & Stopping
1. Start the tractor engine. Set engine throttle at full
speed.
2. Lower the snowthrower.
3. Engage the electric clutch switch. Snowthrower
auger should rotate. Disengage the electric clutch
switch. Snowthrower auger should stop.
WARNING
If auger does not start and stop when engaging/ disengaging
electric clutch, see your authorized dealer. Under no
circumstances should you attempt to defeat the safety
system.
4. Select the proper ground speed.
5. To stop the tractor, move the control levers to
neutral.To stop the snowthrower, disengage the
electric clutch. Before leaving the seat, stop the
engine, disengage the electric clutch, set the
parking brake, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop.
Snow Removal Suggestions
• Determine the best snow removal pattern before
beginning.
• Wind direction is an important factor to consider.
Rotate the spout to discharge snow downwind.
• Plan the pattern so that you avoid throwing snow
on cleared areas and on yourself as you are
operating.
• When land contour permits, it is best to travel in the
longest direction to minimize turning.
• In very deep or heavy snow, it may be necessary
to make the first pass with snowthrower partially
raised, backing up every few feet and lowering the
snowthrower to clear the snow left on the surface.
Also, it may be necessary to slice off less than the
full width of the auger or reduce ground speed.
• If snow stops flowing freely from the spout, back
away until the snowthrower clears itself.
DANGER
If the auger stalls or the chute plugs, DISENGAGE THE
PTO SWITCH, STOP THE ENGINE AND REMOVE THE
KEY. SET THE PARKING BRAKE. WAIT FOR MOVING
PARTS TO STOP. Remove the foreign object or clear the
spout with a piece of wood before restarting the engine.
Never place hands into auger housing or spout to clear
jammed object. Auger may rotate when object is removed.
Daily Storage
1. Run the snowthrower a few minutes after blowing
snow to prevent freeze-up of auger.
2. Allow tractor engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
Off-Season Storage
1. Remove snowthrower from the tractor. Hitch can
remain installed if other attachments are to be
used.
2. Use water pressure or a brush to thoroughly clean
the housing.
3. Paint, or lightly coat with oil, any area where paint
has been worn or chipped away.
4. Lubricate the snowthrower.
5. Store the snowthrower and hitch in a dry place.
DANGER
To prevent an explosion or fire, never store the tractor with
fuel in the tank inside a building where an ignition source is
present.
