Hydraulic Safety
WARNING: Contact with high pressure
fluids may cause fluid penetration and burn
hazards. Fluid that is under pressure can
penetrate body tissue. Fluid penetration can
cause serious injury and possible death. If
fluid is injected into the skin, seek medical
attention immediately!
• Always wear safety goggles or glasses when working
on hydraulic system to avoid eye injury.
• The hydraulic system is under high pressure. Make
sure all lines and fittings are tight and in good
condition. These fluids escaping under high pressure
can have sufficient force to penetrate skin and cause
serious injury.
• Never check for leaks by using any part of your body
to feel for escaping fluid.
• To prevent serious personal injury from escaping
high pressure fluid, never attempt to inspect, service
or disassemble any part of the hydraulic system until
all pressure has been relieved from the system.

Operating Instructions
Operation Safety
Before operating this machine become familiar with and
study all the hazard warning and safety precautions
listed in the Safety Instructions section of this manual
beginning on page 5.
CAUTION: Become familiar and know how
to use all safety devices and controls on the
snow blower before attempting to operate
the unit. Know how to stop the unit before
starting it.
WARNING: Read and observe all warnings
on the machine before attempting to
operate the snow blower. Do not attempt to
operate this machine unless all factory
installed safety devices are in place.
CAUTION: Before proceeding to perform
any adjustments on the snow blower, follow
the “Mandatory Shut-Down Procedure” on
page 6.
Initial Use Inspection and
Adjustments
Chain Inspection
The chain and sprockets should be inspected for
alignment and tension before the initial use. Check
periodically thereafter and ensure they stay in alignment.
See “Adjusting Chain Tension” on page 19 and
“Aligning Chain” on page 20 for information and
instructions on auger chain maintenance.
Skid Shoe Adjustment
Check the position of the skid shoes. Adjust the blower
skid shoes if necessary so the cutting blade is about
1/2 in. (1.27 cm) above the ground for best results. See
“Adjusting Skid Shoes” on page 21 for adjustment
instructions.
Installing the Snow Blower to the
Loader
Your skid steer may be equipped with a manual coupler or
optional powered quick-coupler.
IMPORTANT: For manual coupling, fully raise the
attachment-locking levers on the loader
mounting plate before attempting to
connect the blower to the skid steer.
Tilt the loader mounting plate ahead. Drive forward with
the loader and hook the top edge of the loader mounting
plate under the top flange (1) on the snow blower
mounting plate. Be careful not to damage the locking
levers on the loader mounting plate.
Tilt the loader mounting plate back until the snow blower
mounting plate is firmly against the loader mounting
plate, but DO NOT lift the attachment off the ground.
For manual coupling, the operator will need to exit the
skid steer and fully lower the attachment-locking levers
on the loader mounting plate.
WARNING: Before you leave the operator’s
seat, stop engine and remove ignition key.
Engage the parking brake.
For powered quick-coupling, Use the skid steer
controls to engage the locking pins. Refer to the skid
steer manufacturer’s owner’s/operator’s manual for
instructions on using the quick-coupling controls .
WARNING: Locking-wedge pins must
extend through the holes in attachment-
mounting plate. Levers must be fully down
in the locked over-center position. Failure to
secure wedge pins can allow attachment to
come off, causing serious injury or death.

Installing the Snow Blower to the
Loader (Cont’d)
Hydraulic Connection
NOTE: The hydraulic hose quick couplers shown above
are not supplied with the snow blower.
Before hooking up the hydraulic lines, clean the
connectors.
Install the snow blower quick couplers to the loader.
Electrical Connection
Connect the wiring harness to the loader's connector.
NOTE: Depending on your model of skid loader, a pigtail
adapter (not included with the snow blower) may
be required to couple the snow blower's harness
to the skid loader's connector.
Blowing Snow
A definite pattern of operation is required to thoroughly
clean the snow area. The patterns shown in this section
should be used to avoid throwing snow in unwanted
places, as well as eliminating a second removal of snow.
The drawing above illustrates the removal of snow when
it is possible to throw the snow to the left and right, as
on a long driveway.
Start in the middle and work towards the opposite ends,
throwing the snow to both sides without changing the
direction of the discharge chute.
(Procedure continued on following page.)
