A CAUTION A
If Snow Thrower auger does not stop within 5 seconds after
the Tractor attachment clutch lever has been moved to the
disengaged (braked) position check
unit for adjustments or
worn parts and repair beforeoperating.
The V-belt, used In this Snow Thrower attachment is of
special construction, designed for use
with the V-belt
clutch/brake system. For continued satisfactory perform-
ance use only replacement belts supplied by the
manufacturer.
The use of Improper V-belts
on the V-belt clutch/brake
could cause early failure of the replacement V-belt. V-belts
not designed
for this type of drive, wh ile similar in appear-
ance, may have
an exterior surface of cord construction that
will not perform satisfactorily In a V-belt clutch/brake
system and could In some cases cause a malfunction
in the
operation of the machine.
Do not operate this Snow Thrower unless it is operating
properly,
as outlined In yourowner's manual.

Figure 18
OPERATION
The Snow Thrower has a discharge chute rotation of 270
degrees and Is controlled by the discharge chute rod. The
discharge chute stop bolt will
prohibit rotation beyond
points
H. Figure18.
The deflector mounted on top of the discharge chute
determines the distance snow is thrown. Moving top of
deflector down decreases distance of throw, while raising
deflectorincreases it.
Adjus tment of thedeflectorcan not be
made from the riding position. Disengage the PTO clutch
and shut oft Tractor engine before making adjustment.
A CAUTION A
When making any adjustment to Snow Thrower, shut

SKID SHOE ADJUSTMENT
The skid shoe mounted on each side of the auger housing
adjusts the distance the scraper blade is raised above the
plowing surface. When removing snow from an uneven
surface
or a gravel driveway, it is advisable to keep the
scraper blade as high above the surface
as possible to
prevent possible damage to the auger and to help prevent
stones from being thrown with snow.
On blacktop or
concrete, keep the scraper blade as close to the surface as
possible. The Snow Thrower is shipped from the factory
with skid shoe flanges mounted to the sideof the housing.
TO ADJUST SKID SHOES (Figure 21)
Raise the Snow Thrower
off the ground and place a block
under
each end of the scraper blade. loosen the nuts
securing skid shoes to theauger housing (70). Move the skid
shoes
(68) to the desired position and retighten nuts. Adjust
both skid shoes to the same height to keep the scraper blade
level.
SKID SHOES
Both skid shoes aresubject to wearand aredesigned to easy
replacement. Replace before wear is excessive to prevent
damage tothe auger housing.

AUGER DRIVECHAIN
Periodically check auger drive chain to insure that it is
properly adjusted.
It is important to maintain proper chain
adjustment toobtain maximum chain
life . Excessive slack in
auger drive chain due to normal chain stretch can b~
removed byadjustingchain tightening adjusting nuts.
OPERATION
AUGER CHAIN ADJUSTMENT (Figure22)
After first two hours of operation check auger drive chain for
adjustment. It is important to maintain proper chain
ad justment to obtain maximum chain lite. Excessive slack In
auger drive chain due to normal chain stretch can be
removed byadjustment.
To tighten auger drivechain proceed
as follows:
A.) Shut off Tractorand remove ignition key.
B.) Remove spark plug wire from spark plug.
C.) Remove cover (30) loosen Inside mounting nuts (27)
two or threecomplete turns.
0 .) Tighten outside adjusting nuts (27) to tighten chain.
(Always tighten both outer adjusting nuts
(27) an equal
numberof turns). A correctly adjusted chain will have a
slfght amount ofslack (1/4 to 3/8 inch).
E
.) Retighten inside mounting nuts (2 7) to secure chain
adjustment and replace cover (30).
F.) Replace spark plug wire and resumesnow removal.

FINISH
..
A definite pattern of operating is re qu ir ed to thoroughly
clean the snow area. This pa
ttern w ill avoid a second
removal
of snow and avoid throwing snow In unwanted
places.
Whe re It is possible to throw snow to right and left,
as on a long drive way, it Is advantageous to st art In the
middle.
Work from one end to the opposite end throwing
snow to both sid es without changing the direction of
discharge chute. If snow can only be thrown to one side of
the driveway or sidewalk, start on the opposite side. At the
end of each succeeding pass, rotate the chute 180 degrees to
maintain
dire ction of snow thew into samearea.

OPERATING SUGGESTIONS
Before the first snowfall, the area in wh ich snow removal is
to take place should be cleared of a
ll stones, st icks and the
like which might be picked up by the auger. All obstacles
should be marked to protect the Tractor and auger from
possibleco
lli sion.
To become familiar with the controls, operate tne -·ac: o•
and Snow Thrower In a clear area before rerno.r "g s-o-~
The more familiar you become with the Snow Thro~e· •.,e
better results you wil l have In its use.
A
light coat of wax applied to the inside surface of the auger
housing
will prevent snow and Ice from st icking to i t. The
Inside
of the discharge chute and deflector should be waxed
several times
during the snow removal season.
Allow ample engine warm up time before starting snow
removal.
F
or best results, snow should be removed as soon as
18 possible
after it falls.
PREPARATION
1. Check the Tractor and Snow Thrower to make certain
both are
in good operating condition.
2. F
