BE Ag & Industrial BE-SBS G Series, Operations & Parts Manual

SET UP

1. Turn hood to point directly behind blower (PTO side).

2. Lift hood assembly off and spread a light coat of grease on outside of blower mainframe pipe.

3. Replace hood assembly.

4. Install hood turner as per instructions.

5. Grease shear assembly, auger bearings and hydraulic hood turner if installed.

6. Check oil level in gear box.

7. Check all bolts for tightness.

8. Check auger drive chain tension and alignment.

9. Grease PTO universal joints, shield retaining collars and inner tube of PTO.

OPERATION

1. When attaching the blower make certain all guards are in place.

2. Ensure that the fan and auger rotate freely before connecting PTO shaft to the tractor.

3. Use proper pins and ensure that all connections are secure.

4. Engage the PTO at low engine RPM and slowly increase speed to operate level. Operating speed will vary

    with snow, weather and ground conditions.

5. Adjust the top link of the 3PT hitch to match the ground and snow conditions. Increasing the length will 

    cause the blower to cut deeper into compacted snow, but may also cause the blower to scrape gravel or 

    stones into the fan, which can be a danger to nearby persons, pets, livestock or buildings. Decreasing the 

    length of the top link causes the blower to ride back on the skid shoes, raising the cutting height, thereby

    reducing the possibility of scraping gravel or stones into the blower.

6. Adjust the deflector for the distance of throw required. Moving the adjusting bar, to shorten the distance 

    between the pins increases the thrown.

7. Be aware of the presence of people and objects that may be obscured from vision by blowing or drifted snow. 

    Be certain that no children have tunneled into snowbanks which are to be removed. Never let children slide 

    down snowbank in the vicinity of an operating blower.

SERVICE

1. Before servicing or adjusting, disengage the PTO, lower the unit to the ground and shut off engine.

2. To prevent freezing of hood or other moving parts apply a solution of antifreeze or light oil.

3. Check gearbox oil level on a regular basis. If oil level is low, use a good quality 80W-90 gear oil. 

    Change oil after 50 hours during break-in period. Change after 700-750 hours or yearly.

4. Grease the shear assembly and hydraulic hood turner every five hours of operation.

5. Grease the auger bearings every ten hours of operation.

6. Check auger drive chain tension and alignment. Adjust if necessary.
