OPERATION
CAUTION
WARNING
The subframe kit is to be used only to lift and
operate the snowblower on the 2555 Mahindra
tractors.
TO PREVENT INJURIES:
Lower the snowblower when the vehicle is
parked.
Temperature changes could change the hydraulic
pressure, causing the snowblower to drop
unexpectedly,
damaging
the
hydraulic
components. Failure to do this could result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING
Read the tractor Owner’s Manual carefully. Be
thoroughly familiar with the controls & proper
use of the attachment. Know how to stop the
attachment & disengage the controls quickly.
WARNING
TO PREVENT INJURIES:
Never leave the driver seat without disengaging
the snowblower, stopping the engine, applying
the parking brakes and removing the ignition key.
Never operate on slopes of more than 10%.
NOTE: To increase the life span of the components,
always disengage the snowblower when it is raised.
SNOWBLOWER OPERATION
IMPORTANT:
Always inspect the hydraulic components and hoses
before using. Replace any damaged or worn parts
immediately. If you suspect a hose leak, DO NOT use
your hand to locate it. Use a piece of cardboard or
wood.
a) Make sure the snowblower is clear of snow
before engaging the snowblower.
b) Make sure that the auger and impeller operate
freely.
c) Start the tractor engine.
d) Before engaging the snowblower drive, always
have the engine running at medium R.P.M.
e) Operate the snowblower at maximum engine
R.P.M.
f) Always use the accessory in the Float mode.
Push the tractor’s hydraulic joystick to Float
position.
IMPORTANT: USE FULL ENGINE R.P.M. WHEN
REMOVING WET OR STICKY SNOW. LOW R.P.M.
WILL TEND TO PLUG THE CHUTE.
WARNING
TO PREVENT INJURIES:
Always check to see that both ends of the PTO
shaft are securely attached every time the
snowblower is used.
This should always be done with the tractor
engine off.
Do not run the snowblower without the PTO
shield in place
Operate only tractors equipped with ROPS and
seatbelts.
WARNING
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the
discharge chute is the most common cause of
injury associated with snowblowers. Never use
your hand to clean out the discharge chute.
-Do not attempt to clear plugged chute, auger or
fan of snow while the snowblower's engine is
running.
-Disengage snowblower.
-Lower snowblower to the ground and set
parking brake.
SNOW REMOVAL
When removing snow, do not use the snowblower as
a dozer blade to push snow. Allow snowblower to ingest snow at its own speed. If the speed of your tractor is too fast, the snowblower may become overloaded and plug. For best results, raise the snowblower
and remove a top layer of snow. A second pass with
the snowblower will remove the remaining snow.
-SHUT THE ENGINE OFF & REMOVE KEY!
-Wait 10 seconds to be sure that all moving parts
such as the impeller blades have stopped
moving.
-Do not use hand to unplug chute use a clean out
tool of at least 36’’ (1m) length.

WARNING
Familiarize yourself with the controls before using
the equipment.
TO PREVENT INJURIES WHEN
ADJUSTING THE :DEFLECTOR
Stop the accessory
Stop the tractor’s engine
Apply the parking brake
Remove the key from the ignition.
CHUTE ROTATION
Use the tractor’s hydraulic joystick to turn the chute from
one side to the other.
If the chute does not turn in the desired direction, switch
the hydraulic hoses on the tractor.
CHUTE DEFLECTOR
Be thoroughly familiar with the controls before
operating the equipment
To change the angle of the deflector, use the tractor’s
control lever for the hydraulic auxiliary valve. Make sure
you know the effect of the lever has on the position of
the deflector. If the lever is pushed forward, this will
move the chute in a X direction, if the lever is pulled, this
will move the chute in a X direction. If you prefer to
reverse the directions, simply change the hoses on the
auxiliary valve.
Make sure to be familiar with the speed at which the
deflector moves when using the control lever to make
sure you send the snow in the right place.
