Operation On Slopes WRNING Never operate on slopes greater than 30 percent (16.7 o ) which is a rise of three feet (.9 m) vertically in 10 feet (3.1m) horizontally. When operating on slopes greater than 15 percent (8.5 o ) one wheel weight on each rear wheel and tire chains are recommended. Select slow ground speed before driving onto a slope. void using brakes to control speed. rive up and down the face of slopes, and never across the face. Use caution when changing directions and O NOT STOP OR STRT! Snow Removal Suggestions etermine the best snow removal pattern before beginning. Wind direction is an important factor to consider. Rotate the spout and adjust chute deflector to discharge snow downwind. Plan the pattern so that you avoid throwing snow on cleared areas and on yourself as your are operating. 18

23 WRNING To prevent damaging the snowthrower, always raise it before turning or backing up with the tractor. When land contour permits, it is best to travel in the longest direction to minimize turning. In very deep or heavy snow, it may be necessary to make the first pass with snowthrower partially raised, backing up every few feet to clear the snow left on the surface. lso, it may be necessary to slice off less than the full width of the auger or to reduce ground speed. If the snow stops flowing freely from the spout, use reverse gear to back away until snowthrower clears itself. WRNING If the auger stalls or the chute plugs, IS- NGG TH LTRI LUTH, STOP TH NGIN N RMOV TH KY. ST TH PRKING RK. WIT OR MOVING PRTS TO STOP. Remove the foreign object or clear the spout with piece of wood before restarting engine. Never place hands into auger housing or spout to clear jammed object. uger may rotate when object is removed. aily Storage WRNING To prevent an explosion or fire, never store tractor with fuel in tank inside a building where open flames or sparks are present. 1. Run the snowthrower a few minutes after blowing snow to clear snow from blower and impeller, this prevents freeze up of auger and impeller. 2. llow tractor engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. Off-Season Storage 1. Remove the snowthrower from the tractor. 2. Use water pressure or a brush to thoroughly clean the housing. 3. Paint or lightly coat with oil any area where paint has been worn or chipped away. 4. Lubricate the snowthrower. 5. Store the snowthrower and hitch assy. in a dry place. MINTNN Lubrication WRNING ll maintenance, lubrication, adjustment and storage instructions must be done with engine off and all drives disengaged. rive hains: Lubricate with chain saw chain lubricant every 2 hours of operation and at the end of each operation. hute Rotation System: Oil chute base, rotation worm bushings and rotation hook every 8 hours of operation. 19

24 TROULSHOOTING Locate the problem you've encountered below. heck the possible causes one at a time in the order listed. orrect any problems that are found and operate the snowthrower to see if you have eliminated the problem. 1.Snowthrower auger does not rotate. a. lectric clutch not engaged. ngage electric clutch. see Operation section. b. oreign material blocking auger. STOP engine. Remove key. Unplug auger with piece of wood. c. Snowthrower drive belt slipping. See djustment section and adjust drive belt. d. rive chain broken. Replace parts as required. e. uger shear bolts broken. Replace shear bolts. See your parts list for proper replacement bolt. 2.uger rotates, but snow not thrown far enough. a. ngine RPM too slow. Operate engine at full throttle. b. Ground speed too fast. Use slower ground speed. c. Snowthrower discharge spout clogged. STOP engine. Remove key. Unplug discharge chute. d. heck impeller shear bolt. 3.Scraper bar does not clean all the way down when operating on a smooth, hard surface. a. Skid shoes not properly adjusted. djust skid shoes. See djustment section. 4.Snowthrower picks up and throws stones on gravel drive. a. Skid shoes not properly adjusted. djust skid shoes. See djustment section. WRNING To avoid serious injury, perform maintenance on the tractor or snowthrower only when the engine is stopped, parking brake is set, and all moving parts have stopped. lways remove the ignition key before beginning the maintenance or troubleshooting procedures to prevent accidental starting of the engine. b. Too much down pressure on snowthrower. Use the tractor lift lever to slightly increase height or adjust the snowthrower lift rod height as described in the djustments section. 5.Tractor does not have sufficient traction. a. Tractor is too light at rear wheels. See Required ccessories on page 1. 6.Tractor not stable on sloping surfaces. a. Ground speed too fast. Reduce ground speed. b. Tractor not properly weighted. See Recommended ccessories on page 1. c. Tire pressure incorrect. ront tire pressure should be psi; rear tires should be 6-8 psi. Tire pressure should be equal on both sides of tractor. d. Slope grade is too steep. See Operation On Slopes. 7.uger does not stop when electric clutch is disengaged. a. lectric clutch brake not operating properly. See your dealer for adjustment or repair. 20
