the lift handle until the notches in the mounting plates
align with the shoulder bolts in the tractor's side
plates. Guide the bolts into the notches.
Delay installing the attachment pin until you have
assembled the belt as instructed in steps 23 and 24.

twists 1/4 turn to pass underneath each side idler
pulley. The "V" side of the belt must mate with the

BEFORE

HOW TO USE YOUR SNOW THROWER

•

STARTING

Use the end of assembly checklist to verify that all
instructions have been properly completed.
Make sure the skid shoes are adjusted to maintain
adequate ground clearance between the snow
thrower and the type of surface to be cleared. (Refer
to the Service and Adjustments section.)
Make sure the tractor engine has the correct oil
for winter operation (SAE 5W-30). Refer to tractor
owner's manual.

CAUTION:
Never direct discharge
towards bystanders or windows. Do not
allow anyone in front of unit.

CONTROLLING

HOW TO STARTYOUR

SNOW DISCHARGE

To control the direction snow is thrown, the discharge
chute has 180 degrees of rotation. Turn the crank rod
clockwise to rotate the chute to the right. Turn the
crank rod counterclockwise to rotate the chute to the
left.

SNOW THROWER

The tractor should be sitting with the engine running
at full throttle. Move the attachment clutch to the
engaged position, starting the snow thrower before
the tractor clutch is engaged.

To control the distance snow is thrown, the upper
section of the discharge chute pivots up and down.
Push forward on the chute tilt handle to pivot the
chute down, decreasing the distance snow is thrown.
Pull back on the handle to pivot the chute up,
increasing the distance snow is thrown.

HOW TO STOP YOUR SNOW THROWER
To stop the snow thrower, disengage the tractor's
attachment clutch lever for manual clutches or the
clutch switch for electric clutches. Refer to your tractor
owner's manual.

OPERATING

TiPS

Discharge snow down wind whenever possible.
To help prevent snow from sticking to the snow thrower,
allow the snow thrower to reach outdoor temperature
before using it. A light coat of wax may also be applied
to the inside surface of the snow thrower housing and
discharge chute.
Use tire chains to improve traction.
Use rear wheel weights to improve traction.
Before the first snowfall, remove all stones, sticks and
other objects which could become hidden by the snow.
Permanent obstacles should be marked for visibility.
Overlap each pass slightly to assure complete snow
removal.

RESPONSiBiLiTiES

CABLE

ADJUSTMENT

If the lift rod does not lock the snow thrower securely
in the transport position, loosen the upper hex nut on
the lift bracket a few turns and tighten the lower hex
nut. Refer to figure 16 on page 12.
If the lift rod fails to unlock completely to lower the
snow thrower, loosen the lower hex nut on the lift
bracket a few turns and tighten the upper hex nut.
Refer to figure 16 on page 12.

BELT

Disengage the tractor's attachment clutch.
Lower the snow thrower to the ground.
Remove the attachment pin.
Lock the snow thrower's lift handle in the down
position to decrease belt tension.
Release the spring tension from the auger belt idler
arm on the bottom of the clutch/idler assembly.
Remove the auger drive belt from the clutch/idler
assembly and from the spiral auger housing.
Install new belt over top of large auger drive pulley
and under the two side idler pulleys. Twist the belt 1/4
turn to seat the "V" of the belt in the groove of each
idler pulley. Refer to figure 23 on page 14.
Assemble the belt onto the clutch/idler assembly.

SPIRAL

AUGERS

The spiral augers are secured to the auger shaft with
two shear bolts and nylock nuts. If you hit a foreign
object or if ice jams the augers, the snow thrower is
designed so that the bolts will shear.
If the augers will not turn, check to see if the shear
bolts have sheared. See figure 28. Two replacement
shear bolts and nylock nuts have been provided with
the snow thrower. For future use order part number
710-0890A shear bolt and number 47810 nylock nut.

SKiD SHOE ADJUSTMENT
GEAR HOUSING

The skid shoes are mounted on each side of the spiral
auger housing. They regulate the distance the scraper
plate is raised above the plowing surface. When
removing snow from a gravel driveway or and uneven
surface, it is advisable to keep the scraper plate as
high above the surface as possible to prevent possible
damage to the spiral auger. On blacktop or concrete
surface, keep the scraper plate as close to the surface
as possible.
Raise the snow thrower off the ground and place a
block under each end of the scraper plate. Loosen the
six hex nuts securing the skid shoes to the housing.
Adjust the skid shoes up or down and retighten the
nuts securely. Adjust both skid shoes to the same
height to keep the housing and the scraper plate level.

RECOMMENDATIONS

SNOW THROWER
END OF SEASON

Lower the snow thrower to the ground.
Remove the snow thrower from the tractor.
Clean the snow thrower thoroughly. Wash off any salt
deposit which may have dried on the thrower and
housing.
Any bare metal that has become exposed should be
painted or coated with a light oil to prevent rust.
Store in a dry place.

REMOVING

THE SPIRAL

AUGER

PARTS TO REMOVE

Remove the belt guard from the tractor's PTO pulley
by removing the two hex screws. (Refer to the Cutting
Deck Removal instructions under SERVICE AND
MAINTENANCE in your tractor operator's manual.)

IMPORTANT:
Be sure to replace the belt
guard before starting the engine to avoid
damage to the electric clutch.

HOUSING

Lower the snow thrower to the ground.
Remove the attachment pin. See figure 22 on page
14.
Lock the snow thrower's lift handle in the down
position to decrease belt tension.
Release the spring tension from the auger belt idler
arm on the bottom of the clutch/idler assembly.
Remove the auger drive belt from the clutch/idler
assembly. See figure 24 on page 14.
Pull the spiral auger housing assembly off of the
tractor.

Remove the belt from the PTO pulley.
Reinstall the belt guard for the PTO pulley. Be sure the
belt guard is installed in the notch on the side of the
tractor's electric clutch.
Loosen the two jam nuts on each support link.
Loosen the 1/2" bolt and nut which fasten each
support tube to the pulley frame.
Remove the end of each support link from the front
mounting plate and then slide the support links from
the support tubes.
Remove the hair cotter pins from the rear mounting
brackets.
Remove the hair cotter pins and pivot lock pins from
the front mounting brackets and then remove the
clutch/idler assembly from the tractor.
If you are going to mount a bumper or other front end
attachment to your tractor, remove the front mounting
plates and frame brace by removing the quick release
pins and pulling the mounting plates and frame brace
off of the shoulder bolts.
