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. Figure 1. Snowthrower ontrols Operating On Slopes WRNING Never operate on slopes greater than 30% (16.7o), which is a rise of three feet (.9m) vertically in 10 feet (3.1m) horizontally. 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. 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 low ground speed is best for throwing snow. The deeper or heavier the snow, the slower the recommended ground speed. 3
Operation 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. 4. djust the engine speed to full speed. Select the proper ground speed. 5.

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 your 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 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. 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. WRNING 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. Snowthrower & Hitch Removal Remove the snowthrower and hitch in the reverse order of installation. Note the following: lways remove the 4-link chain from the spring assist bracket to prevent interference with front steering components. Use caution when removing the spring from the spring-assist lever and chain. Snowthrower must be in fully raised position to relieve spring tension. Whenever removed, install clevis pins, hitch pins, clips and hardware onto snowthrower and hitch for storage. aily Storage 1. Run the snowthrower a few minutes after blowing snow to prevent freeze-up of auger and impeller. 2. llow tractor engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. Off-Season Storage WRNING To prevent an explosion or fire, never store the tractor with fuel in the tank inside a building where an ignition source is present. 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. UTION lways raise the snowthrower before turning or backing up, to prevent damage to the unit. 4

djustment Lift Rod djustment MNUL LIFT MOELS The lift lever can be placed in one of three notches and is held in position by the lever latch. (see Figure 8). When the lever latch is placed in notch 1 the lift lever should be applying downward pressure on the snowthrower. In position 2, the float position, the snowthrower/plow should experience negligible upward or downward pressure. Position 3 should raise the snowthrower approximately 3 to 3-1/2 above the ground. ELETRI LIFT MOELS: In the fully raised position the snowthrower should be 3 to 3-1/2 off the ground. In the fully lowered position, the lift rod should slightly compress the spring (, Figure 7) creating downward pressure on the snowthrower. If the snowthrower tilts excessively to one side you may want to install the spring assist (see installation instructions). The spring assist is not required on electric lift models. NOTE: lways adjust the lift height before and after adjusting the downward pressure. Lift Height djustment 1. Place the lever latch in notch 3 or fully raise the electric lift (see Figure 8). The snowthrower should be approximately 3 to 3-1/2 off the ground. If not, go to step 2. 2. Lower the snowthrower and adjust the front set collar (, Figure 7) to achieve the correct lift height. ownward Pressure djustment 1. Move the lever latch from notch 2 to notch 1 (See Figure 8) or fully lower the electric lift. 2. The spring (, Figure 7) should be slightly compressed applying downward pressure to the snowthrower. If not, adjust the rear set collar (, Figure 7) to achieve the desired amount of downward force. o not over-compress the lift rod spring. Figure 7. djusting Lift Rod. Front Set ollar. Rod Guide. Spring. Rear Set ollar E. Spring lip Notch 3 Notch 2 Notch 1 Figure 8. Lift Lever Quadrant - Side View UTION o not over-compress the lift rod spring. In addition to providing downward pressure, the spring is an elastic medium that absorbs shocks caused by bumps and cracks in ground surfaces. Over-compressing the spring defeats this and could cause damage to the unit. 8
