▲Lower lift arms and put
attachment flat on the ground.
▲Turn off engine.
▲Engage park brake.
▲If included, raise seat bar and
move controls until both lock.
▲Remove key to prevent
unauthorized starting.
▲Use steps, grab-handles and
skid-resistant surfaces when
getting on and off the loader.
▲Detach and store implements in
an area where children normally
do not play. Secure implement by
using blocks and supports.
OFF
REMOVE
Practice Safe Maintenance
▲Understandprocedure beforedoing
work. Use proper tools and
equipment, refer to Operator’s
Manual for additional information.
▲Work in a clean dry area.
▲Lower attached implement to the
ground and follow all shutdown
procedures before leaving the
operator’s seat to perform
maintenance.
▲Allow implement to cool completely
before working on it.
▲Disconnect battery ground cable (-)
before servicing or adjusting
electrical systems or before

of the loader arm. Do not disconnect harness from
the solenoids.
5. Disconnect hydraulic hoses (#1, #2, & #3) from skid
steer or tractor mounted hydraulic reservoir.
6. Storehydraulichoses and wire harness on theSnow
Blower frame to keep dirt away from the couplings
and electrical connector.
7. Raise lock pins on loader hitch. If lock pins are
activated from the operator’s seat, return to the skid
steer/tractor to raise lock pins.
8. From the operator’s seat, tilt top of loader hitch
slightly forward towards the Snow Blower.
9. Slowly lower skid steer/tractor hitch plate until top
angle bars and hitch plate have separated.
