DESCRIPTION
This Snowblower is designed to facilitate clearing of large volumes of snow from sidewalks, driveways, and
small parking lots.
This is a 2-stage blower. The auger feeds the snow into the blower housing. The Snowblower is
belt-driven with a chain drive from a gearbox to the 14" open-centered auger. The hydraulic controlled
chute directs the snow from side to side with fingertip control of the auxiliary hydraulics. A heavy-duty wear
edge shears snow cleanly from pavement or height can be regulated with adjustable skid shoes.
The Snowblower mounts on all Steiner power units with quick hitch front lift and can be installed and
removed quickly.

SNOWBLOWER ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
ASSEMBLYINSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove the snowblower from the shipping crate.
2. Attach the end extensions in the straight position for normal use. These extensions can be reversed to
increase the snowblower opening width 6 inches.
3. Remove the chute clamps and lubricate the swivel area with grease. Attach the chute and tighten the
chute clamps.
4. Attach the cables to the chute control pipe. See Figure 3 for parts identification and location. Tighten
the cables with the eye-bolt.
5. Check the oil level in the gearbox.
6. Check all belts for proper tension.
7. Remove the drive pulley shield and install the proper drive belt for the power unit.
NOTE:
See Belt Size Chart for Steiner Tractors and Attachments for correct belt sizes on power
units.
Replace shield. (see Photo 9 )
8. Attach snowblower to tractor. See Page 5 for safety instructions, Page 7 for installation and removal
instructions and Page 8 for operating instructions.

INSTALLATION & REMOVAL
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Attach snowblower to the power unit.
2. Be sure drive belt is in place over the left hitch arm.
3. Drive power unit into the hitch arms and latch the quick hitch handle.
4. Stop engine and install drive belt.
5. Attach the two hydraulic hoses to the quick couplers on the tractor.
NOTE: If the rotation does not match the lever operation, the hoses may be reversed.
6. A weight bar with 4 weights is required on 4-wheel drive units whenever the snowblower is installed.
Install according to weight bar instructions.
REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Lower the snowblower and stop engine.
2. Disconnect the two hydraulic hoses and install dust covers.
3. Remove the drive belt and release the quick hitch. Start the engine and back out carefully.
4. Remove the 4 weights from the weight bar.

7
SNOWBLOWER OPERATION
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Be sure the quick hitch is latched and the hoses engaged completely.
2. Engage PTO slowly and maintain engine speed at 3/4 to full throttle.
3. Low range works best for most conditions. Adjust speeds to match snow conditions. The snowblower
works best with plenty of snow being fed into the blades. In light snow (4" to 6") increase travel speed.
4. Float position may be used, but carrying some of the weight with the power unit gives better traction.
This may require frequent lifting and lowering on 4-wheel drive units. On the Model 220 the traction
booster may be used for optimum traction.
5. If drive belt slips, adjust drive belt tension according to power unit manual.
6. Keep the chute rotation cables tight.
7. Rotate chute using the auxiliary hydraulic control lever. Try to blow snow with the wind on windy days.
8. Control the throwing distance by adjusting the chute deflectors. Move the locating strap sideways and
select a different hole.
ASSURE CLEAR DISTANCE IN THE DIRECTION OF THROWING SNOW. OBJECTS CAN BE
PROPELLED FROM BLOWER CAUSING POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY OR INJURY TO
BYSTANDERS.
BE ALERT! WATCH FOR BURIED OBJECTS IN THE SNOW WHICH COULD BE THROWN OR CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE.
NEVER TRAVEL AT SPEEDS THAT WOULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE OR INJURY TO THE
OPERATOR IF THE MACHINE WERE TO BE STOPPED SUDDENLY BY AN IMMOVABLE OBJECT.

DRIVE BELTS
To change belts it is necessary to remove the outer
bearing from the blower shaft and slide the belts
between the shaft and the frame. Use only matched
belts for the blower drive.

SKID SHOES
The skid shoes are adjusted by moving the shoes
up or down in the slots provided. The shoes can be
moved from side to side to obtain the lowest setting
for the cutting edge to be more effective on hard
surfaces.

CHUTE CABLES
The threaded eye-bolt can be tightened to adjust the
tension on both cables.

CUTTING EDGE
The cutting edge can be reversed when worn to
give double life.
