When operating on slopes greater than 15% (8.5o), 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 the slopes, never across the slope face. Use caution when changing directions and O NOT STRT OR STOP ON SLOPE. WRNING Perform the Safety System Interlock test found in your tractor Operator s Manual. If tractor does not pass the test, do not operate the tractor. See your authorized dealer. Under no circumstances should you attempt to defeat the safety system. 3

8 Operation IMPORTNT NOTE lways raise the snowthrower before turning or backing up, to prevent damage to the unit. Transporting 1. isengage the electric clutch and then raise the snowthrower. 2. djust ground speed according to surface conditions. 3. Select a low ground speed when transporting on a slippery surface. Engine & Ground Speed Selection lways run the engine at full throttle. Normally, a slow ground speed is best for throwing snow. The deeper or heavier the snow, the slower the recommended ground speed. Starting & Stopping 1. Start the tractor engine. Set engine throttle at 1/2 speed. 2. Lower the snowthrower. 3. Engage the electric clutch switch. Snowthrower auger should rotate. isengage the electric clutch switch. Snowthrower auger should stop. WRNING If auger does not start and stop when engaging/disengaging electric clutch, see your authorized dealer. Under no circumstances should you attempt to defeat the safety system. 4. djust the throttle to full speed. Select the proper ground speed. 5. To stop the tractor, depress the clutch/brake pedal. To stop the snowthrower, disengage the electric clutch. efore leaving the seat, stop the engine, disengage the electric clutch, set the parking brake, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Snow Removal Suggestions etermine the best snow removal pattern before beginning. Wind direction is an important factor to consider. Rotate the spout to discharge snow downwind. Plan the pattern so that you avoid throwing snow on cleared areas and on yourself as you are operating. 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 and lowering the snowthrower 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 reduce ground speed. If snow stops flowing freely from the spout, back away until the snowthrower clears itself. NGER If the auger stalls or the chute plugs, ISENGGE THE ELETRI LUTH, STOP THE ENGINE N REMOVE THE KEY. SET THE PRKING RKE. WIT FOR MOVING PRTS TO STOP. Remove the foreign object or clear the spout with a piece of wood before restarting the engine. Never place hands into auger housing or spout to clear jammed object. uger may rotate when object is removed. aily Storage 1. Run the snowthrower a few minutes after blowing snow to prevent freeze-up of auger. 2. llow tractor engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. Off-Season Storage 1. Remove snowthrower from the tractor. Hitch can remain installed if other attachments are to be used. 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 in a dry place. NGER To prevent an explosion or fire, never store the tractor with fuel in the tank inside a building where an ignition source is present. 4
