Safety
AlphaBlower Operation and Maintenance Manual
Importance of Safety Cont’d
Fire Prevention Safety
• All fuels, most lubricants and some coolant
mixtures are flammable. Flammable fluids that
are leaking or spilled onto hot surfaces or onto
electrical components can cause a fire.
• Know where fire extinguishers are located and
how to use them.
Transporting Safety
• Comply with state and local laws governing
highway safety and movement of machinery
on public roads.
• Check local laws for all highway lighting and
marking requirements.
• Always yield to oncoming traffic and move to
the side of the road so any following traffic may
pass.
• Never allow riders on the machine or snow
blower.
• If transporting the snow blower on a truck or
trailer, make sure it is properly secured to the
transport vehicle.
Hydraulic Safety
• Always disconnect hydraulic connections
between the machine and the snow blower
before performing maintenance to the snow
blower.
• Always clean fluid spills. Do not use gasoline or
diesel fuel for cleaning parts. Use commercial
nonflammable solvents.
• Check hydraulic tubes, hoses and fittings for
damage and leakage. Never use open flame or
bare skin to check for leaks. Hydraulic tubes
and hoses must be properly routed and have
adequate support and secure clamps. Tighten
or replace any parts that show leakage.
Leaking fluids under pressure can enter the
skin and cause serious injury or death.
Immediate medical attention is required.
Wear goggles. Use cardboard to check for

Operation
General Information
Pre-Operation Inspection
Before operating the snow blower for the first time
and each time thereafter, use the following list as
a guideline during equipment inspection.
1. Use only a machine of adequate power to
operate the snow blower. (See Tractor or Skid
Steer Requirements on page 13).
2. Check the snow blower and machine mounts
for damage, loose or missing parts. Repair as
needed before operation.
3. Lubricate the snow blower, see Lubrication on
page 33.
4. Check that the PTO shaft telescopes easily
and turns freely.
5. Check that the snow blower is properly
attached to the machine. Be sure retainers are
used on the mounting pins.
6. Check that wear shoes / gauge wheels (if
equipped) are set at the same working depth.
7. Make sure that all guards and shields are in
place, secured and functioning as designed.
8. Check oil level in machine hydraulic reservoir.
9. Check that the hydraulic hoses and couplers
are securely attached to the machine. Make
sure hoses are routed and secured to avoid
pinch points or strain during movement of the
machine / snow blower.
10. Check cutting blade for wear or damage.
11. Check hydraulic lines, connections and fittings
for hydraulic oil leaks.
12. Check all electrical connections.
Snow Blower Operating Tips
• Make sure the snow blower is adjusted
properly. (See “AlphaBlower Adjustment Skid
Steer” on page 15) or (See “AlphaBlower
Adjustment Tractor” on page 20.)
NOTE: Improper snow blower adjustment will
cause increased wear to the cutting
edge or wear shoes.
• Driving speed and gear selection are
dependent on the snow conditions and the
machine type. Do not choose too high a gear
but make a selection so speed can be kept
steady.
• Before disengaging the PTO it is important to
wait until the blower has emptied out the snow.
If the PTO is disengaged while the blower is full
of snow, the chute will likely clog up when the
PTO is re-engaged.
• If the blower is frequently used on gravel roads
or asphalt, in conditions with little snow, it is
recommended to use gauge wheels instead of
wear shoes.
• Adjust throwing distance and the direction of
the snow being removed, away from buildings,
cars, or other objects to avoid causing
damage.
• Always stop the snow blower before exiting the
machine.

CRUSH HAZARD
• Before moving the machine, look in all
directions and make sure no bystanders,
especially small children are in the work
area. Do not allow anyone between the
machine and snow blower when
approaching the snow blower for
connecting.
• Keep fingers and hands out of pinch
points when connecting and
disconnecting snow blower.
Before connecting to the snow blower, inspect the
skid steer’s universal mounting plate. (See the
skid steer’s Operator’s Manual for inspecting the
mounting frame).
Enter the operator’s position, start the engine and
release the parking brake. (See “Entering The
Operator’s Position” on page 13.)
Move the skid steer into position in front of the
snow blower.
Move the skid steer forward, aligning the skid
steer’s universal plate and snow blower mount
plate.
When the skid steer’s universal plate is aligned
with the snow blower’s mounting plate, raise the
arms and tip the plate back and engage the
mounting pins.
Once connected to the universal plate and secure,
shut down machine and exit operators position.

AlphaBlower Adjustment Skid Steer
The snow blower must be adjusted so that it
is level.
For the blower to penetrate all the way down to
the asphalt it is very important that the blower is
correctly adjusted to be level prior to operation.
NOTE: The blower is adjusted using the height
adjustment for the wear shoes.
Incorrect adjustment of the wear shoes will result
in high wear to replaceable edges.
If the blower is lifted at the front, a larger part of
the blower weight will be transferred to the wear
shoes, provided these have been adjusted
correctly. This results in less wear to cutting edge.
1. Locate a level surface to adjust the blower.
2. Lift the blower using the machine’s hydraulics.
Adjust the underside of the wear shoes to
approximately 2” higher than the underside of
the cutting edge.
3. Lower the blower onto the surface. Blower is
now level on the surface and resting on the
cutting edge.
NOTE: The blower should now be resting on
the cutting edge.
4. Adjust wear shoes so that these are flush with
the surface.

PTO Installation
Install the PTO shaft from the blower to the tractor.
The angle of the PTO should not exceed 20
degrees. Angles greater than 20 degrees
result in excessive wear and reduce service
life of PTO shafts.
For reversing: See 1-7.
For front mounting: Mount the snow blower
without the PTO, and see 2- 7.
1. Install the blower on the tractor for reversing
[Figure 2]. The PTO stub shaft on the snow
blower is situated slightly closer to the tractor
drawbar for reversing. Do not install the PTO
shaft immediately. First ensure that there is
sufficient clearance between the tractor wheel
and the wing cutting edges of the blower at all
lifting heights, including during active use of top
links.
2. Locate the setting at which the PTO stub shafts
have the shortest spacing. Pull the PTO shaft
apart and insert the prongs on each PTO stub
shaft so that the pipes are situated next to each
other.
3. Mark the pipe for cutting, calculate at least
0.394” in for end clearance.
4. Verify the longest distance between the PTO
stub shafts. If this is in a working position, the
telescoping tubes must continue to overlap
with half the pipe length.
5. When all of the above has been verified, the
axle can be cut. All pipes must be cut in the
same way.
6. File all cut edges that could inhibit sliding,
clean and lubricate the telescoping tubes using
grease.
7. Install the axle and check the adaptation
carefully and at all heights and movements.
