To stop the snowthrower, disengage the electric clutch. Before leaving the seat, stop the engine, disengage the electric clutch, set the parking brake, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop.

Snow Removal Suggestions

• Determine the best snow removal pattern before beginning.

• Wind direction is an important factor to consider.

Rotate the spout to discharge snow downwind.

• Plan the pattern so that you avoid throwing snow on cleared areas and on yourself as you are operating.

• When land contour permits, it is best to travel in the longest direction to minimize turning.

• In very deep or heavy snow, it may be necessary to make the first pass with snowthrower partially raised, backing up every few feet to clear the snow left on the surface. Also, it may be necessary to slice off less than the full width of the auger or reduce ground speed.

• If snow stops flowing freely from the spout, back away until the snowthrower clears itself.

CAUTION

Always raise the snowthrower before turning or backing up, to prevent damage to the unit.

Daily Storage

1. Run the snowthrower a few minutes after blowing snow to prevent freeze-up of auger.

2. Allow tractor engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

Off-Season Storage

WARNING

To prevent an explosion or fire, never store the tractor with fuel in the tank inside a building where an ignition source is present.

1. Remove snowthrower from the tractor. Hitch can remain installed if other attachments are to be used.

2. Use water pressure or a brush to thoroughly clean the housing.

3. Paint, or lightly coat with oil, any area where paint has been worn or chipped away.

4. Lubricate the snowthrower.

5. Store the snowthrower and hitch in a dry place.

WARNING

If auger does not start and stop when engaging/disengaging electric clutch, see your authorized dealer. Under no circumstances should you attempt to defeat the safety system.

WARNING

If the auger stalls or the chute plugs, DISENGAGE

THE ELECTRIC CLUTCH, STOP THE ENGINE AND

SNOWTHROWER INSTALLATION

1. Fully lower the attachment lift.

2. See Figure 19. Pull the shot pins (B) back and locking them.

3. Set PTO shaft on bracket.

4. See Figure 20. Drive the tractor push bar under the snowthrower hitch point (B). The dozer snowthrower hitch points (B) need to line up side to side with the edges of the push bar (A). The snowthrower hitch points (B) will hang from the top edge of the push bar

(A). Slowly lift the snowthrower 1/2 inch off the ground.

5. See Figure 19. Place snowthrower shot pins (A) in closed position.

6. Make sure that PTO shaft is aligned with reduction box input shaft. This is done to prevent PTO shaft from interfering with connection point and to help align the shaft for hookup.

7. Stop engine, lock parking brake and remove key.

8. Check that shot pins (Figure 19) are fully seated into push bar (A, Figure 20). If the shot pins do seat all the way in the Closed / In position repeat steps 1-8.

9. See Figure 21. Attach the drive shaft. Pull back on the locking collar (A) and slide the drive shaft fully onto the snowthrower. Release the locking collar and pull back on the drive shaft until the locking collar locks onto the shaft.

10. See Figure 22. Attach the electric chute rotator to the tractor attachment plug.
