OPERATION
OM 0287SB-A 18
S NOW REMOVAL METHODS
When removing snow, do not use the snowblower as a dozer blade to push snow. Let the snowblower
work its way through deep drifts. If the speed of your tractor is too fast, the snowblower may become
overloaded and clog. For best results, raise the snowblower and remove a top layer of snow. A
second pass with the snowblower will remove the remaining snow.
IMPORTANT: Use full RPM power when removing wet, sticky snow. Low RPM power will tend to clog
the chute.
WARNING: Do not use hands or feet to unclog chute. Do not attempt to clear clogged
chute of snow while tractor engine is running. If the chute clogs, disengage the drive shaft,
shut off the tractor engine, remove the ignition key, wait for all movement to stop, and then
clear the snow from the chute.
A definite pattern of operation is required to thoroughly clean the snow area. These patterns
will avoid throwing snow in unwanted places as well as eliminating a second removal of snow
Where it is possible to throw the snow to the
left and right (above), as on a long driveway, it
is advantageous to start in the middle. Plow
from one end to the other, throwing snow to
both sides without changing the direction of the
discharge guide
If the snow can only be thrown to one side of
the driveway or sidewalk (above), start on the
opposite side. At the end of the first pass,
rotate the discharge guide 180 degrees for the
return pass. At the end of each succeeding
pass, rotate the discharge guide 180 degrees
to maintain direction of throw in the same area.
