BEFORE OPERATING
ATTACH BLOWER TO TRACTOR
IMPORTANT: The maximum PTO speed is 540
RPM. Do not operate at a faster speed because
the fan, sprockets and PTO will be damaged.
1. Connect the PTO half (1 3/8" splined slip clutch)
to the tractor. When new, the spring lock lever on
the end of the PTO is hard to operate. Apply
grease and work the lever until it snaps in and out
freely. In the correct position the lever will spring
back out and lock the two shafts together.
4) CAUTION
The spring lever must be locked into position
before operating. Failure to lock the spring
lever will result in the PTO disconnecting from
the tractor.
2. Lower the three point hitch arms on the tractor.
3. Position the blower so that the three point hitch
arms of the tractor line up with the main arms of the
blower.
4. Connect the two halves of the PTO and slowly
slide the blower toward the tractor.
5. Line up the three point arms and the stabilizer
arm of the tractor with the blower. Secure all arms
with the tractor hardware.
6. Slowly, lower and raise the blower to check the
PTO length and proper ground clearance. Meas-
ure the distance from the bottom of the blower to
the ground. It should be between 14" and 22", On
some tractors it may be necessary to shorten the
PTO shaft. To shorten:
A. Lift the blower until the two halves are
fully contracted. Determine how much needs
to be cut off to raise the blower to the proper
ground clearance.
B. Remove the tractor PTO half from the
implement half.
C. Cut the pre-determined amount off with a
hand saw.
D. Replace the PTO half on the tractor. Lock
the spring lever into place.
E. Lift the blower up and re-check PTO length.
F. Repeat steps B through D if the PTO
length is stiil too long.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
Check tire pressure before each use. Inflate to 40
PSI. Failure to maintain 40 PSI could result in the
tire breaking loose from the rim.
CASTOR WHEELS (Fig. 1)
When the three point lift is lowered and the castor
wheels do not touch the ground, the wheels need
to be adjusted. To adjust:
A. Remove the roli pin (A) and allow the wheel
to drop from the mounting bracket.
3. Move the top spacers (B) to the bottom of
the yoke mounting bracket.
C. Replace the roll pin.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: The maximum PTO speed is 540
RPM. Do not operate at a faster speed because
the fan, sprockets and PTO will be damaged.
1. Start tractor engine and run at a low RPM.
Slowly engage the PTO.
IMPORTANT: If the tractor does not have a two
stage clutch or live PTO, engage the clutch
slowly to prevent stalling of the engine. When
stopping or turning, allow yourself some extra
distance, as the impeller takes a few moments
to stop and will continue to power the rear tires
of the tractor.
2. Run tractor engine to 1100 RPM.
3. Practice blowing material. Itis advisable to blow
the same direction the wind is blowing to prevent
material from blowing back into the cleared area.
AN WARNING
DISCHARGED AIR HAS CONSIDERABLE
FORCE AND COULD CAUSE INJURY OR
LOSS OF FOOTING
e Stay away from discharge opening when
machine is running.
e Keep bystanders away from discharge
opening when machine is running.
4. The PTO has a ratchet type torque limiter on the
implement end to limit the shock load on the chain,
sprockets and fan upon initial start up. If the torque
limiter ratchets, it is necessary to disengage the
PTO to prevent wear.
IMPORTANT: Do not raise the blower more
than 15 degrees above the horizontal position
because the PTO may be damaged.
LUBRICATION
BEARINGS (Fig. 2)
The blower has tour self sealing bearings that must
be lubricated with a No. 2 Lithium based grease.
IMPORTANT: Lubricate the bearings to main-
tain a slight leakage on the seals. Too much
grease can cause overheating.
WHEELS AND WHEEL BEARINGS (Fig. 2)
Grease fittings weekly or every 40 operating hours.
Use a No. 2 Lithium based grease.
DRIVE CHAIN (Fig. 2)
1. Always maintain a heavy coat of grease on the
drive chain. Turn PTO by hand while lubricating to
obtain distribution of grease along chain.
PTO (Fig. 2)
1. Grease the PTO fittings weekly or every 40
operating hours. Use a No. 2 Lithium based
grease.

MAINTENANCE
DRIVE CHAIN ADJUSTMENT (Fig. 3)
The drive chain is adjusted to allow a 1/8" deflection
with 5 lbs of force. Do not over tighten the chain
because it will wear rapidly. If chain is to loose, the
sprocket will wear.
To adjust the drive chain:
A. Loosen the four bolts (A).
B. Loosen the nut on the bolt (8).
C. Turn the bolt to adjust. Turn clockwise to
tighten, counterclockwise to loosen.
D. Tighten the four bolts (A), and the nut (B).

PTO DRIVE MAINTENANCE
1. The PTO has a ratchet type torque limiter on the
implement end to limit the shock load on the chain,
sprockets and fan upon initial start up. If the torque
limiter ratchets, it is necessary to disengage the
PTO to prevent wear. After disengaging and the
PTO has come to a complete stop, assure the
tractor RPM is low and then the PTO can be
engaged again and operation continued.
BLOWER FAN MAINTENANCE
The fan and fan blades must be kept clean. Material
build-up on fan blades may throw the unit out of
balance. Operating the fan out of balance will result
in vibration leading to premature component wear.
Diese! tractors and rear exhaust tractors may
cause a more rapid build-up. Inspect fan regularly
and clean as necessary (i.e.; powerwash).
TROUBLE SHOOTING
CONDITION
CAUSE
CORRECTION
FAN QUIT TURNING
Remove Chain Guard. Check
for broken or loose chain.
Check the PTO for a sheared
bott.
Check the drive shaft. A key
may be sheared on the sprocket.
Replace chain or adjust the
chain tension. (See Drive
Chain Adjustment)
Replace the bolt.
Replace key.
EXCESSIVE VIBRATION
Check bearings on fan shaft for dam-
age.
Look into deflector opening of detlec-
tor, check for material build
up on fan blades.
APM of the PTO shaft too fast
Replace beanngs.
Clean off any build-up inside
the housing.
Reduce PTO speed to 540
RPM.
LACK OF ADEQUATE AIR
FLOW
‘Check air slots on back and front
housings. Slots may be clogged
with debris.
RPM on tractor too slow.
Throttle on the tractor engine
may be too slow.
Clean out any debris from
slots.
Bring PTO speed to 540
RPM.
Make any necessary repairs
to bring tractor speed up to
normal.
11
STORAGE
1. Thoroughly clean the blower. The fan housing
should be free of dirt, leaves and debris. Power
wash the fan and fan blades. (See Maintenance).
2. Inflate tires to 40 PSI.
3. Check all fasteners for looseness: tighten as
necessary.
4. Grease or oil all grease fittings and bearings.
Wipe off excess lubricant. (See Lubrication).
5. Check the tension and condition of the drive
chain. Adjust the tension if necessary and lightly
coat the chain with grease. Fill the gearbox with
hand gun grease.
