Operation
Before using this product read these instructions carefully.
Make sure the snow blower is mounted and xed properly to the power unit.
If in doubt contact Tracmaster on 01444 247689.
Always wear gloves.
Before commencing work, check that the snow
blower auger turns regularly.
Best results are obtained with the engine at a high
throttle setting.
Never put your hands into the chute - stop the
engine rst and use the stick provided to clear the
chute.
Do not direct the discharge chute towards people
or objects.
Do not use the machine with damaged or
disconnected guards and/or safety devices.
Use the skid shoes to adjust the operating height of
the snow blower - the blade (A) must be mounted
in such a way as to skim the ground. If the surface
is uneven or gravel/stones are present, the blade
should be raised.
Remove pin (B), lower skid shoe (C) and reinstall pin
(B) in a lower hole (see g 1).
Turn the discharge chute by turning the control rod
in the direction the snow is to be thrown (g 2). g 2

To control the distance the snow is thrown, adjust he inclination of the discharge ap
using the control knob.
NOTE: If the snow is particularly heavy, turn the discharge chute to the side as little as
possible. Adjust the discharge ap to the vertical position to avoid obstructing the thrown
snow.
WARNING: If any abnormal vibrations or sounds occur, STOP the engine immediately and
check the machine and the implement. If you have any concerns contact your supplier.
After each use remove any snow stuck in the snow blower
by using the stick provided (g 3).
Regularly check the condition of the skid shoes - if they
are worn they can be turned around to extend their life.
Simply remove the bolts, turn the skid shoes round and
reinstall the bolts.
