as shown in gure 3.
2. Place the two half moon chute gear clamps (RED56SH-0006) underneath the chute gear ring.
3. Set the chute on top of the impeller housing chimney and align bolt holes of all three components as shown in gure 4.
4. Use (8) bolts (LAN4A16A16) and (8) lock nuts (REDKRJ8) to aach chute gear, half moon clamps, and chute together to complete assembly.
5. Grease the ange with the zerk installed on the boom side of chimney ange. Rotate chute as you grease to ensure even grease distribuon.
6. Tighten or loosen nuts aer greasing to maintain a rm grip that will rotate easily.
7. Slide motor and gear assembly forward to make a ght t with the chute gear and ghten bolts aaching the motor to the housing as shown in gure 5.

Skid Steer Wiring Installaon - Pin Connector
Figure 6
• In the wiring kit, there are 2 bags with similar pigtails and pin connectors:
a 8-Pin and a 14-Pin. These cover most skid loaders makes and models.
Determine which connector your skid steer can use and set the other
aside. If yours does not have a receptacle or one that doesn’t match the
pin connectors provided, skip these steps and go to the Rocker Switch
Installaon.
1. Either consult your skid loader owner’s or use a test light to determine
which pins in the skid loader connect with the switches in the cab and
which pin is ground.
2. Assemble the pin connector with what you learn. As long as the ground
(black) pin is placed correct, the other 4 wires can be mixed around.

Skid Steer Wiring Installaon - Rocker Switches
Figure 9
Use these instrucons if the 8-Pin and 14-Pin connectors will not work on your skid loader.
The switches may be located in the provided switch plates, or in available switch knockouts in the skid steer. The below instrucons show a
typical skid steer installaon. Locaon details will vary between makes and models.
1. Insert two momentary switches (REDRS1093) into the upper cab panel (Figures 9 & 10).
2. Aach the one of the short red wires from RED56WIR-4 to the middle post of a momentary switches. (The momentary switches are idencal.)
Then aach the blue wire and the brown wire of harness RED56WIR-3 to the same switch, one on either side of the red wire (Figure 11). This
will be your chute rotaon motor switch.
3. Aach the other short red wire from RED56WIR-4 to the middle post of the second momentary switch. Then aach the green wire and yellow
wire of harness RED56WIR-3 to the switch, one on each side of the red wire (Figure 12). This will be your deector control switch.
4. Connect the free end of the Red wire (RED56WIR-4) to the power wire on the skid loader and the free end of the Black wire of harness
(RED56WIR-3) to a ground wire on the skid loader (Figure 13).

Skid Steer Wiring Installaon - Solenoid Connecons
1. Connect the 4 connectors shown in Figure 15 and labeled 1-4 to the
solenoid receptacles in the hydraulic block of Figure 14.
2. Pair connector 1 with 2 and 3 with 4 on the solenoids.
Note: Reconguring which ports or solenoids the connectors mate with
will depend on your preference. Switching upper and lower ports within a
pair (ex. 1 & 2) will reverse the switch direcon in the cab. Swapping the
pairs with each other (1 & 2 with 3 & 4) will change what a switch in the
cab controls (chute rotaon or deector).
3. Connect the female end of the harness to either the pin connector
harness or the rocker switch harness.

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 auxiliary hydraulics.
• 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.
• Stop the blower’s forward moon in order to assure that all snow has passed through the snow blower.
• Shallow snow can normally be cleared in one pass, depending on the density of the snow.
DO NOT BULLDOZE – THE BLOWER WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR BULLDOZING
• 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 Engine 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.
• DO NOT throw the snow toward buildings, livestock, the skid steer 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 check to see that the chute moves freely. Damage to chute and controls may occur.
OPERATION SAFETY
• Stop engine and remove the engine key whenever you leave the equipment seat.
• Stop engine and remove the engine key aer striking a foreign object. Thoroughly inspect the blower before restarng unit.
• 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.
• Make sure to read and understand every safety sign on your machine.
• Stay clear of the blower at all mes while the hydraulics are 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.
