Operator Safety / SNOWTHROWERS
This snowthrower is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following
safety instructions could result in serious injury. Read these safety rules, and the safety rules in your tractor
Operator’s Manual, and follow them 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 cautions or warnings which must be followed.
Operator Safety
DANGER
Amputation hazard
The discharge chute
contains a rotating impeller
to throw snow. Fingers can
quickly become caught in
the impeller. Never clear or
unclog the discharge chute
with your hands. Always
use a clean-out tool.
Failure to observe these safety instructions will
result in traumatic amputation or severe laceration.
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the
discharge chute is the most common cause of injury
associated with snowthrowers. Never use your hands to
clean out the discharge chute.
To safely clear a clogged discharge chute, follow
these instructions:
1. Shut OFF the engine.
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have
stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
General
• Read this manual and the tractor Operator’s Manual
carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and
the proper use of the equipment.
• If snowthrower is equipped with a spring-assist tension
lever, never pull the spring-assist tension lever back
unless snowthrower is in fully raised position. The
spring is under tension when snowthrower is in lowered
position.
• Never allow children to operate the machine. Do not
allow adults to operate it without proper instruction.
• Do not carry passengers.
• Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,
particularly small children, and pets.
• Never direct discharge chute towards bystanders.
• Make sure all hardware is secure and that snowthrower
is in good operating condition.
• Check to be sure all safety devices and shields are in
place.
• Check that all adjustments are correct before using this
unit.
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.
• One wheel weight on each rear wheel or rear weights is
required.
Operation
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on, or
crossing, gravel drives, walks or roads. Stay alert for
hidden hazards or traffic.
• Never allow anyone in front of the machine while it is
operating.
• 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 operator’s
position. Disengage the PTO, lower the attachment, set
the parking brake, stop the engine and remove the key.
• Never operate the snowthrower near glass enclosures,
automobiles, window wells, drop-offs, 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 slippery
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
WARNING
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.
WARNING
If the auger stalls or the chute plugs:
To safely clear a clogged discharge chute, follow
these instructions:
1. Shut OFF the engine.
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have
stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
CAUTION
Always raise the snowthrower before turning or backing
up, to prevent damage to the unit.
• 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 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 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.
Daily Storage
1. Disengage the electric clutch and then raise the
snowthrower.
2. Adjust ground speed according to surface conditions.
3. Select a low ground speed when transporting on a
slippery surface.
Off -Season Storage
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.
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.

Lubricate Snowthrower
Figure 22
Lubricate Discharge Chute
See Figure 22. Lubricate the ring gear at the base of the
discharge chute with lithium grease. Lubricate the deflector
hinge, extension linkage, and cable with oil.
Drive Shaft Lubrication
See Figure 23. Lubricate the universal joints at both ends of
both the snowthrower drives shaft with lithium grease. Also
lubricate the grease zerk in the middle of the short shaft.
Figure 23
WARNING
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.
Always remove the ignition key before beginning
maintenance or adjustments to prevent accidental
starting of the engine.
In general, linkage connections and other parts that have
partial rotational or sliding movement should be lubricated
periodically with SAE 30 weight oil. Avoid applying exces-
sive amounts of oil or grease since this may cause a build-
up of dirt around the lubricated area, making subsequent
lubrication more difficult to accomplish.
