DANGER OPERATING ON SLOPES CAN BE DANGEROUS Never operte on slopes greter thn 17.6% (10 ) which is rise of 3-1/2 feet (106cm) verticlly in 10 feet (607cm) horizontlly. Operte the unit t slow ground speed when driving onto slope. Avoid using brkes to control ground speed. When operting on slopes tht re greter thn 15 % (8.5 ) but less thn 17.6%, use dditionl wheel weights or counterweights. In ddition to counterweights, use extr cution when operting on slopes. Drive UP nd DOWN the slope, never cross the fce, use cution when chnging directions nd DO NOT START OR STOP ON SLOPE. For dditionl trction, tire chins nd weight box cn be dded. Mximum weight dded to trctor should not exceed 50 lbs. per wheel nd 100 dditionl lbs. in weight box. Trnsporting 1. Disengge the electric clutch nd then rise the snowthrower. 2. Adjust ground speed ccording to surfce conditions. 3. Select low ground speed when trnsporting on slippery surfce. 23

24 Opertion Snow Removl Suggestions Determine the best snow removl pttern before beginning. Wind direction is n importnt fctor to consider. Rotte the spout to dischrge snow downwind. Pln the pttern so tht you void throwing snow on clered res nd on yourself s you re operting. When lnd contour permits, it is best to trvel in the longest direction to minimize turning. In very deep or hevy snow, it my be necessry to mke the first pss with snowthrower prtilly rised, bcking up every few feet nd lowering the snowthrower to cler the snow left on the surfce. Also, it my be necessry to slice off less thn the full width of the uger or reduce ground speed. If snow stops flowing freely from the spout, bck wy until the snowthrower clers itself. DANGER If the uger stlls or the chute plugs, DISENGAGE THE ELECTRIC CLUTCH, STOP THE ENGINE AND REMOVE THE KEY. SET THE PARKING BRAKE. WAIT FOR MOVING PARTS TO STOP. Remove the foreign object or cler the spout with piece of wood before restrting the engine. Never plce hnds into uger housing or spout to cler jmmed object. Auger my rotte when object is removed. Dily Storge 1. Run the snowthrower few minutes fter blowing snow to prevent freeze-up of uger. 2. Allow trctor engine to cool before storing in ny enclosure. Off-Seson Storge 1. Remove snowthrower from the trctor. 2. Use wter pressure or brush to thoroughly clen the housing. 3. Pint, or lightly cot with oil, ny re where pint hs been worn or chipped wy. 4. Lubricte the snowthrower. 5. Store the snowthrower nd hitch in dry plce. 24

25 Opertion Lift Vritions When Using Attchments When front-mounted ttchment such s snowthrower or dozer blde is used with the trctor, the lift mechnism must be locked to provide downwrd force. When the mower is reinstlled the downwrd pressure lock must be relesed so tht the mower cn flot. Hydrulic Lift Models When using snowthrower or dozer, the downwrd pressure lock plte (Figure 44) nd n dditionl pin is instlled. These prts re included with the ttchment.

28 Troubleshooting Skid Shoe Adjustment On smooth surfces such s concrete or sphlt, the scrper br should scrpe the surfce. On surfces such s grvel, the scrper br should be set high enough so tht it will not pick up debris. 1. Loosen the nuts securing the skid shoes s shown in Figure Rise or lower the scrper br to the desired height. Use wood blocks to hold the snowthrower in position. 3. Set the skid shoes so tht they re in contct with the ground nd tighten the skid shoe nuts. Auger Sher Pins The uger sher pins (, Figure 50) re designed to brek if the uger strikes n object.

The impeller sher bolt is locted in the impeller shft between the impeller nd uger ger box s shown in Figure 50. Replce the sher bolt ONLY with 5/16-18 x 1 Grde 5 bolt. Lift Adjustment In the fully rised position the ttchment should be 4-5 off the ground. In the fully lowered position, the lift rod should compress the spring creting downwrd pressure on the snowthrower. NOTE: Alwys djust the lift height before nd fter djusting the downwrd pressure. Lift Height Adjustment 1. Fully rise the ttchment lift. The snowthrower should be pproximtely 4-5 off the ground. If not, go to step Lower the snowthrower nd djust the front set collr (, Figure 51) to chieve the correct lift height. Downwrd Pressure Adjustment NOTE: Check tht the lift br or lock plte re in the correct positions. 1. Plce the lift in the fully rised position. 2. Relese the rer set collr (b). 3. Slide the set collr forwrd until it is slightly compressing the lift rod spring (c). Tighten the set collr screw. Do not over-compress the lift rod spring. 28
