SAFETY MESSAGE

SAFE SNOW REMOVAL IS NO ACCIDENT
Improper use of snow removal equipment on
the part of the operator can result in injury. To
reduce this possibility, give complete and undivided
attention to the job at hand.
Protect Yourself and Others by Following These
Safety Tips
1. Stop engine before cleaning discharge, removing
obstacles, making adjustments, or when leaving
operating position.
2. Never direct discharge at bystanders nor allow
anyone
in front of machine -- debris may be
hidden in the snow.
3. Keep
children and pets a safe distance away.
4. Do not allow children to operate machine nor
allow adults to operate it without proper in-
structions.
5. Adjust height to clear gravel or crushed rock
surface.
6. Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling,
especially when operating in reverse.
7. Know the controls and how to stop quickly --
read the operating instructions.
8. Handle gasoline with care -- it is highly in-
flammable.
A. Use approved gasoline container.
B. Never add gasoline to running engine -- fill
tank out of doors and wipe up spilled gasoline.
C. Replace gasoline cap securely.
D. Open doors if engine is run in garage --
exhaust gases are dangerous.
9. Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral be-
fore starting engine. Keep hands, feet and
clothing away
from power driven parts.
lO.Use a grounded three wire extension cord for
all plug-in electric units.
ll.Keep machine in good operating condition and
keep safety devices in place.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. ATTACHING 3. RUNNERS
a. Sno-Thro Attachment.
(1) Hook the notches in the lower portion of
the Sno-Thro Attachment frame over the rod passing
through the forward section of the tractor frame.
(2) Tip the two sections together, being sure
the jaw clutch on the Sno-Thro Attachment is in the
OUT position (counterclockwise).
(3) Insert and tighten the two 3/ 8-inch whiz-
lock screws through the top of the tractor frame and
into
the Sno- Thro Attachment.
b. Chute Control Rod.
(1) Fasten the chute control crank to the trac-
tor handle bar with the hardware provided. Position
the worm gear ·so that it meshes properly with the
chute. Fasten securely.
2. OPERATION
a. Tractor. For operation, see the section on
OPERATION in the instruction book packed with the
tractor.
b. Sno-Thro Attachment.
(1) To start the Sno-Thro Attachment, start
the engine, place the Sno- Thro clutch in the IN po-
sition (clockwise) and engage the engine clutch on
the tractor.
(2) To stop the Sno-Thro Attachment, disen-
gage the engine clutch on the tractor and place the
Sno-Thro clutch in the OUT position.
(3) The tractor may be used to move the unit
with the Sno-Thro Attachment stopped by engaging
the tractor clutch and leaving the Sno-Thro clutch
in the OUT position.
a. An adjustable runner is
provided on each side of the
blower housing (figure 1).
Raising or lowering these run-
ners controls the distance the
scraper blade is held above
the surface being cleared. Ad-
justment is accomplished by
loosening the two nuts on each
of the runners to the desired
position and retightening the
nuts. When plowing on con-
Figure 1
crete or other hard surfaces, these runners should
be adjusted so that they are approximately 1/8-inch
below the scraper blade. Whenplowing gravel drive-
ways or other gravel areas, adjust the runners so
that they are 1-1/4-inches below the scraper blade.
b. In wet snow which packs easily, it may be nec-
essary to remove the runners or turn them upside
down so the scraper blade will scrape clean.
4. SCRAPER BLADE (See figure 2)
A scraper blade (figure 2) is provided along
the bottom edge of the blower housing. During
operation, this blade runs along the surface being
cleared, directing the snow into the rotor and in-
suring a clean surface. After considerable usage,
this blade may wear and require replacement. The
blade can be replaced by removing the five lock-
nuts, washers and carriage bolts holding it to the
housing.
