SB1051, SB1064, SB1574, & SB2584 with S/N 881640- Snow Blowers 370-027M
Start backing up slowly with engine running at 540 RPM
PTO speed. If travel speed is too fast, shift gears to a
slower speed. Only shift to a higher speed if you are
certain it will be a safe traveling speed. The heavier and
deeper the snow the slower you will need to travel. Make
certain you maintain 540 RPM PTO speed and a travel
speed that allows you to be in control at all times. Make
a tractor gear and range selection that will enable you to
maintain these speed combinations.
Turn your head to look where you are traveling while
backing-up. Do not use rear view mirrors to view
direction of travel while backing up. It is very important
that you get a full field of view to prevent an accident.
Beware of obstacles along side the tractor while making
turns backing-up removing snow. Never swing front of
tractor or tractor mounted front loader into fire hydrants
mail boxes, buildings, vehicles, fences, trees, or other
standing obstacles. Shift to a lower gear and travel very
slow when in a tight situation to allow time to react and
stop the tractor before hitting an obstacle.
Once you have reached end of travel, stop tractor, raise
Snow Blower up, and travel forward to the front of your
work to make another run at blowing snow. It is not
necessary to disengage PTO while traveling forward if
Snow Blower is raised to a height that does not exceed
driveline limits. For explanation of driveline limits, see
“Check Driveline Interference”
Once at the front, back Snow Blower up to your next
starting point, lower unit down onto its skid shoes or wear
bars until all pressure is off the 3-point arms, engage
PTO, and begin traveling blowing snow.
With a little practice you will be pleased with what you
and your Land Pride Snow Blower can do. Whether you
are done blowing snow, need to take a break, or just
need to make a few adjustments to the Snow Blower,
remember to always do the following:
•
Reduce tractor’s engine rpm
•
Disengage PTO
•
Stop on level ground and set tractor park brake
•
Turn off the engine and remove the key
•
Stay on the tractor until the Snow Blower auger have
come to a complete dead stop.
