OPERATING THE SNOW BLOWER
• Make sure the impeller and auger are free of any loose objects.
• Check to see that all the shields and guards are in place and in good condion.
• Lubricate the snow blower before and aer every use.
• Aer starng the engine, engage the PTO.
• Ease the blower slowly into the snow.
• When clearing deep snow you may have to take more than one cut, starng at the top of the dri. Remember to disengage the PTO when raising the snow blower.
• Stop the blower’s moon and allow all snow to pass through the snow blower before turning o.
• Shallow snow can normally be cleared in one pass, depending on the density of the snow and the available horsepower.
DO NOT BULLDOZE – THE BLOWER WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR BULLDOZING
DESIGNED FOR 540 RPM ONLY
• The most eecve method of dispensing snow is to blow the snow as high as possible downwind, if room permits.
• The chute deector will allow you to adjust the height that the snow is thrown.
• Reducing the PTO RPM will reduce the distance the snow is thrown.
• You can change the direcon of the snow being thrown by using the hydraulic chute rotaon controls. Always be aware of where you are throwing the snow.
• Your snow blower has Manual deector control.
• DO NOT throw the snow toward buildings, livestock, the tractor or any other object that may be damaged.
• DO NOT change the chute direcon or adjust the deector while snow is being discharged. This may cause damage to both the chute and deector.
• DO NOT use hydraulic controls unl you insure that the chute moves freely. Damage to chute and controls may occur.
OPERATION SAFETY
• Disengage PTO, stop engine, and remove the engine key whenever you leave the equipment seat.
• Disengage PTO, stop engine, and remove the engine key aer striking a foreign object. Thoroughly inspect the blower before restarng unit.
• Disengage PTO, stop engine, and remove the engine key before aempng to service your snow blower or unplugging the impeller and chute.
• Do not rotate the chute so that discharge material will be directed toward people, your tractor, or any other object that could be damaged.
• Rotang components can catch feet, hands, and loose clothing. Stand clear of all moving parts.
• Do not climb or step on or over the snow blower for any reason.
• Never operate the snow blower in bad light or poor visibility.
• Disengage the PTO while raising, lowering, and transporng the snow blower.
• Make sure to read and understand every safety sign on your machine.
• Stay clear of the blower at all mes while the PTO is engaged.

• Do not bulldoze. Let the machine throw the snow.
• Be aware of your surroundings and know the area you are removing the snow from.
• Do not allow anyone to ride on the snow blower at any me.
• Keep all shields in place and safety equipment intact.
DRIVELINE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY TO DETERMINE THE PROPER FIT OF THE
DRIVELINE
1. Hook up snow blower to lower arms of the 3-point.
2. Measure the distance from the end of the PTO sha to the end of the gear box sha
3. Lay driveline on at surface and measure the distance from one yoke to the other in the most retracted posion. If the driveline length is greater than
length of sha, move the mounngs to correct the length, shorten driveline or use a CAT II quick hitch.
4. If distance from sha to sha is greater than 9” more than the overall length of driveline, it may be too short. Most drivelines require a minimum of 5”
overlap.
5. Once the driveline is installed, slowly li the snow blower through the complete arc of 3-point mount. Make sure driveline does not boom out
anywhere throughout the arc. Make sure the shields do not separate.

Driveline Safety & Maintenance
• Keep driveline shield in place – do not remove. Never operate your snow blower when driveline shields are damaged or missing. These shields have
been installed for your safety. Personal injury or even death can result from entanglement in rotang components.
• Do not operate your snow blower with a driveline that is too long or with a dented shield. This will not allow the sha to telescope freely. Operang
under these condions can cause damage to the snow blower, gear box, driveline knuckles, or your tractor.
• Keep the driveline well greased or oiled. (Oil should be used in severe cold)
• Make sure the third arm on the tractor 3-point will have the snow blower sing level and resng on the skid shoes. This will keep the knuckles on the
driveline running as straight as possible.
• Raising and lowering the snow blower while the PTO is engaged can cause severe damage to the driveline and the tractor.
• This driveline is designed to operate at 540 rpm only.
• Operang the driveline at an excessive angle will shorten the life of the driveline.
• Personal injury or even death can result from entanglement with drivelines. Stay clear of driveline at all mes while PTO is engaged.
• If your driveline is making a chaering noise you may be running at too steep of an angle. You may need to move the mounng out to lessen the angle.
• Drivelines must always have at least 5” of overlap.
• Grease before operang your snow blower.
