OPERATION
OM 0472SB-A [14]
GENERAL PREPARATION
1. Read the operator's manual carefully before
using the tractor and snowblower. Be
thoroughly familiar with the controls and
proper use of the equipment. Know how to
stop the unit and disengage the controls
quickly.
2. Wear adequate winter outer garments while
operating the equipment.
3. Make sure the snowblower is clear of snow
and other material before engaging the
snowblower.
4. Make sure the auger and fan operate freely.
5. Check the oil level in the reduction box and
gear box and if necessary, add AGMA 5EP
extreme pressure oil, SAE 80W90 gear oil or
equivalent.
6. Check the two shear bolts, one on the fan
and one on the driving shaft for proper
tightness.
7. Adjust the skid shoes so the snowblower
runs leveled.
8. Before engaging the snowblower drive,
always have the engine running at idle.
9. Operate the snowblower at maximum
engine RPM.
Engine Speed
1. Start the tractor engine. Let the engine warm
up at least one minute before engaging the
drive mechanism then increase speed
gradually.
2. Make sure the snowblower head is properly
positioned and engage the drive mechanism.
3. Adjust the ground speed according to
conditions. For maximum power, run engine
at or near full throttle.
IMPORTANT : Use full RPM power when
removing wet, sticky snow. Low RPM power
will tend to clog the chute.
WARNING : To avoid serious personal
injury: Do not use your hands to unclog the
chute. Use a 36" (925mm) stick or board. Do
not attempt to unclog the chute while engine
is running. If the chute is clogged, shut off
the tractor engine, remove the key and allow
the rotating parts to stop before removing the
snow from the chute.
Increasing Traction and Stability
The use of approved tire chains and wheel
weights or rear weights is recommended for
extra traction and stability, especially when
operating in snow and/or on slippery surfaces.
See your dealer for details
Engaging the Drive Mechanism
Refer to the tractor's operating manual for
instructions.

OPERATION
OM 0472SB-A [15]
WARNING: To avoid serious
personal injury: Make sure tractor engine
and snowblower come to a complete stop
and tractor drive mechanism is
disengaged BEFORE making any
adjustments.
Deflector Adjustment
The deflector angle must be set according to
the distance the snow must be thrown. To
adjust the angle:
•Turn the chute to the left as far as
possible.
•Loosen the two deflector knobs on the
side and adjust the deflector at the
appropriate angle.
•Tighten the knobs.
Skid Shoe Adjustment
(Figure below)
Adjust the snowblower so that the skid shoes
run level and according to the surface
conditions so that stones are not thrown with
the snow. Adjust both skid shoes to the same
height to keep the cutting edge level and adjust
upwards for smooth surfaces.
Loosen skid shoe bolts and adjust according to
instructions below, and securely tighten bolts:
Clearance between cutting edge and surface:
•Level paved surface:Insert bolts in bottom holes
•Uneven or gravel surface: Insert bolts to the
required distance: 1/2" - center hole
1" - upper hole

OPERATION
OM 0472SB-A [16]
SNOW 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: To avoid serious personal injury: 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 PTO shaft, shut off the tractor engine, set the parking brake, lower
snowblower to the ground, place transmission in neutral, 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.

MAINTENANCE
OM 0472SB-A [17]
MAINTENANCE
ALWAYS USE GENUINE PARTS WHEN REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE REQUIRED
WARNING to avoid serious
personal injury:
•Before cleaning, adjusting or repairing
the snowblower: bring the tractor to a
complete stop, disengage the PTO,
apply parking brake lower the
implement shut off the engine and
remove the ignition key.
•Never park the tractor inside a building
where an open flame or sparks are
present. Allow the engine to cool down
before storing in any enclosure.
•Run the snowblower a few minutes after
blowing snow to prevent freeze up of
auger and fan.
•Provide adequate blocking before
working under the snowblower when in
raised position.
Shear Bolts
1. Always use special grade 5 extended bolts
on fan and special grade 5 grooved shear
bolts on the auger sections as shown on
decal (BER2500842) shown below.
2. Check shear bolts at frequent intervals for
proper tightness to be sure the
snowblower is in safe working condition.
Auger Repositioning
After shear bolt breakage on one of the augers,
make sure to reposition the augers as shown
on the figure below.

MAINTENANCE
OM 0472SB-A [18]
Gearbox and Reduction Box
When servicing either the gearbox or the
reduction box, the sealing of the casing must
be restored. To do so, apply a layer of silicone
to the casing before closing it. Allow the
silicone to cure for at least 24 hours before
filling it with oil.
Oil Level – Oil Filling (Figure below)
To check oil level: Remove oil level plug, check
if the oil is flush with the plug. If not, remove
the oil filler plug and fill until the oil flows
through the oil level plug hole. Reinstall both
plugs.
Oil Change (Figure below)
Change the oil in the gearbox and in the
reduction box once a year.
1. Remove oil filler plug.
2. Remove oil change plug and let oil flow
through until only small drops are coming
out.
3. Reinstall oil change plug and remove oil
level plug. Fill gearbox/ reduction box with
SAE 80W90 oil, AGMA 5EP extreme
pressure oil or equivalent, until oil reaches
oil level plug. Reinstall oil level plug, then
oil filler plug.
NOTE: For reduction box, take the lower oil
change plug.
