closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of control of vehicle, severe personal injury
to yourself, or damage to property or equipment. The triangle in the text signifies important cau-
tions or warnings which must be followed.
Preparation
Never attempt to make any adjustments while engine
is running.
Thoroughly inspect the area where the snowthrower
is to be operated and remove all foreign objects.
Adjust the skid shoe height to clear gravel or crushed
stone surface. See the Maintenance and Adjustments
section for procedure.
Operation
Always clear snow up and down the face of slopes,
never across the face. Exercise extreme caution
when changing direction on slopes. Do not attempt to
clear steep slopes.
Exercise extreme caution when operating on, or
crossing, gravel drives, walks or roads. Stay alert for
hidden hazards or traffic.
After striking an object or if unit starts to vibrate
abnormally, stop the engine, disengage the PTO, and
remove the key. Check for the cause and any dam-
age before restarting. Before any inspection, make
sure all moving parts have stopped.
Take all possible precautions before leaving opera-
tors position. Disengage the PTO, lower the attach-
ment, set the parking brake, stop the engine and
remove the key.
Never operate the snowthrower near glass enclo-
sures, automobiles, window wells, dropoffs, etc.,
without proper adjustment of discharge angle.
Do not overload machine capacity by attempting to
clear snow at too fast a rate.
Never operate unit at high transport speeds on slip-
pery surfaces. Use care when travelling in reverse.
Disengage power to snowthrower when transporting
or not in use.
Never operate the snowthrower without good visibility
or light. Always be sure your feet are properly placed
on the footrests and keep a firm hold on the steering
wheel.

Snow Removal Suggestions
Determine 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. Also, 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.
Snowthrower & Hitch Removal
Remove the snowthrower and hitch in the reverse order
of installation. Note the following:
Always 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.
Daily Storage
1. Run the snowthrower a few minutes after blowing
snow to prevent freeze-up of auger and impeller.
2. Allow 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.
WARNING
If the auger does not start and stop when
engaging / disengaging the electric clutch, see
your authorized dealer. Under no circumstances
should you attempt to defeat the safety system.
WARNING
To prevent an explosion or fire, never store the
tractor with fuel in the tank inside a building
where an ignition source is present.
WARNING
If the auger stalls or the chute plugs:
• Disengage the electric clutch
• Stop the engine and remove the key
• Set the parking brake, and
• Wait for all moving parts to stop
Remove the foreign object or clear the spout
using a piece of wood. NEVER place hands into
the auger housing or spout to clear jammed
objects. The auger may rotate when the object is
removed.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Always raise the snowthrower before turning
or backing up to prevent damage to the unit.

Adjustment
Lift Rod Adjustment
MANUAL LIFT MODELS
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.
HYDRAULIC & ELECTRIC LIFT MODELS:
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 (C, 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 hydraulic / electric lift
models.
NOTE: Always adjust the lift height before and after
adjusting the downward pressure.
Lift Height Adjustment
1. Place the lever latch in notch 3 (Figure 8) or fully raise
the hydraulic / electric lift. 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
(A, Figure 7) to achieve the correct lift height.
Downward Pressure Adjustment
1. Move the lever latch from notch 2 to notch 1 (Figure
8) or fully lower the hydraulic / electric lift.
2. The spring (C, Figure 7) should be slightly com-
pressed applying downward pressure to the
snowthrower. If not, adjust the rear set collar (D,
Figure 7) to achieve the desired amount of downward
force. Do not over-compress the lift rod spring.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Do 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 damage the unit.
