Operation Instructions
1. Do not operate the snowblower in the fully raised position. The 3-point hitch on some tractors
raises high enough to cause the PTO shaft to bind. This can cause damage to the PTO shaft
and/or to the hitch and pins. NOTE: PTO shaft angle should not exceed 20° for optimum
performance and life. Damage may occur to PTO and/or snowblower if angle becomes more
extreme.
2. Depth of cut can be partially controlled by tilting the blower forward or backward. Adjust the
top link of the tractor hitch so the snowblower is just slightly tilted back when resting on the
ground.
ALERT
Excessive backward tilt may cause the “U” joints to flutter
resulting in PTO shear bolt failure.
3. Adjust the lower link sway chains or blocks on the tractor to restrict side movement of the
snowblower when operating.
4. Run the snowblower at low rpm to check operation before blowing snow.
5. The snowblower has two shear bolts to protect the tractor and snowblower in case a large
object enters the snowblower. PTO shear bolts - #500 – one 3/8" x 1" (10 x 25 mm) (Gr8), #600
- two 5/16" x 1" (8 x 25 mm) (Gr8), auger shear bolt – 1/4" x 1" (6 x 25 mm) (Gr2). Shear bolts
should be fastened with a lock nut or two jam nuts. These bolts must be kept tight to prevent
wear of the bolt and bolt holes.
6. Never run PTO shaft over 540 rpm.
7. Chain Tension: Slack on the lower side of the chain should be 3/8" to 1/2" (10 x 13 mm)
8. Lubrication:
- The spout clamps and rings should be periodically lubricated with gun grease.
- PTO shaft universal joints and square shaft slide should be greased daily.
- PTO shear yoke should be greased before using the snowblower for the first time.
- Regularly oiling the chain will significantly increase the life of the chain.
- Gearbox is open type and need not be greased or lubricated.
- Hydraulic spout option – grease the swivel arm.
9. Periodically check all bolts for tightness. The bolt holding on the fan and the bearing bolts are
of particular importance.
DANGER
Always stop snowblower for servicing or unplugging. The PTO
should be disengaged before dismounting from the tractor.
