SET UP
1. Turn hood to point directly behind blower (PTO side).
2. Lift hood assembly o and spread a light coat of grease on outside of blower mainframe pipe.
3. Replace hood assembly.
4. Install hood turner as per instructions.
5. Grease shear assembly, auger bearings and hydraulic hood turner if installed.
6. Check oil level in gear box.
7. Check all bolts for tightness.
8. Check auger drive chain tension and alignment.
9. Grease PTO universal joints, shield retaining collars and inner tube of PTO.
OPERATION
1. When attaching the blower make certain all guards are in place.
2. Ensure that the fan and auger rotate freely before connecting PTO shaft to the tractor.
3. Use proper pins and ensure that all connections are secure.
4. Engage the PTO at low engine RPM and slowly increase speed to operate level. Operating speed will vary
with snow, weather and ground conditions.
5. Adjust the top link of the 3PT hitch to match the ground and snow conditions. Increasing the length will
cause the blower to cut deeper into compacted snow, but may also cause the blower to scrape gravel or
stones into the fan, which can be a danger to nearby persons, pets, livestock or buildings. Decreasing the
length of the top link causes the blower to ride back on the skid shoes, raising the cutting height, thereby
reducing the possibility of scraping gravel or stones into the blower.
6. Adjust the deflector for the distance of throw required. Moving the adjusting bar, to shorten the distance
between the pins increases the thrown.
7. Be aware of the presence of people and objects that may be obscured from vision by blowing or drifted snow.
Be certain that no children have tunneled into snowbanks which are to be removed. Never let children slide
down snowbank in the vicinity of an operating blower.
SERVICE
1. Before servicing or adjusting, disengage the PTO, lower the unit to the ground and shut o engine.
2. To prevent freezing of hood or other moving parts apply a solution of antifreeze or light oil.
3. Check gearbox oil level on a regular basis. If oil level is low, use a good quality 80W-90 gear oil.
Change oil after 50 hours during break-in period. Change after 700-750 hours or yearly.
4. Grease the shear assembly and hydraulic hood turner every five hours of operation.
5. Grease the auger bearings every ten hours of operation.
6. Check auger drive chain tension and alignment. Adjust if necessary.

INSTALLATION
WARNING!
Unfortunately, snowblowers will be faced with forgotten or hidden objects under the snow,
such as chain, tires, stones, pieces of wood, etc.
In spite of all our eorts, machines are not built to resist all those conditions.
DANGER!
It is dangerous to use a tractor which is too big or too powerful. The tractor will always be able to
overload the blower, even if the machine is already at maximum capacity. Tractor being very high,
too large angles at PTO universal joints will result and life of universal joints will be
shortened dramatically.
A proper initial installation will give you years of satisfactory service on your equipment. Please read carefully
following instructions which have been specially made to help you and make you satisfied with your purchase.
PTO SHAFT ANGLES
PTO Shafts are made to transmit power with angles at universal joints. However, these angles should be kept
to a minimum. Larger the angle, shorter the lift of PTO. For example a snowblower sold for a tractor capacity
of 60-70 HP, which would be attached to a 60 HP Tractor, operating at maximum capacity (60 HP Continuous).
HOW TO DETERMINE PTO ANGLE
1) Lower blower on ground
2) Take measures A, B and L
3) Subtract B of A (A-B=C)
4) Divide L by C (L/C=F)
5) Compare F factor in table to find
PTO angle (interpolate, if necessary).

INSTALLATION (CONT.)
Previous examples clearly demonstrate that universal joint angle is directly related with life of PTO in order to
reduce angle, it is necessary to increase the distance between snowblower and tractor.
It is impossible to increase the distance between snowblower and tractor, in order to maintain a reasonable
angle at PTO, it is recommended to use a large size of PTO, That is a greater capacity PTO, (please refer to
your dealer for more details).
For snowblowers of 100 HP an additional gearbox is also available that can be mounted on existing snowblower
gear box, which increased the input shaft height, reducing angle at PTO joints. This gear box also has a an
input speed of 1000 RPM, which greatly increases PTO capacity.
ANGLES AT EACH END OF PTO
A popular habit is to change snowblower angle in order to obtain a better scraping eect. This practice can
become harmful to the PTO, angle at each end being unequal. There will be a fan speed variation as well as a
drastic increase of load on cross and bearings. To avoid, it is recommended to keep tractor PTO Shaft and
snowblower input shaft always parallel.
SHEAR BOLTS
Shear bolts are built to break under shocks on the fan or on the auger. However, under certain circumstances,
this security is not adequate. Example: a sudden high impact shock on the fan may, in some cases, break the fan
shaft without breaking the shear bolt.
If the shear bolt breaks, make sure to always replace it with a same category bolt (grade 8.8). It is necessary to
always maintain this bolt very tight, in order to keep the eciency of the shearing mechanism.
WARNING: The gear box fan shafts are made with special allow steel. Moreover, they are case hardened
to increase capacity to shock load. These shafts cannot be broken under normal snow loads.
However, undesirable objects may enter the fan and either bend or break gear box shaft. It is understood that
gear box cannot be built to resist every possible overloads and consequently, gear box fan shafts will not be
replaced under warranty. Therefore, the user of the snowblower must be very careful.
