BEFORE 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.

HOW TO STARTYOUR 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.

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.

HOW TO USE YOUR SNOW THROWER

CAUTION: Never direct discharge

towards bystanders or windows. Do not

allow anyone in front of unit.

CONTROLLING 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.

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.

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.

CUSTOMER RESPONSiBiLiTiES

• Oil the pivot points of the two idler arms on the clutch/

idler assembly.

• Apply penetrating oil to the control cables of the

discharge chute.

• Apply a good grade of spray lubricant to the trigger

assembly and the chute tilt control assembly.

CHECK SCRAPER AND SHOES FOR WEAR

(Refer to figures 27 and 28 on page 18.)

*The scraper plate and skid shoes on the bottom of the

snow thrower are subject to wear. To prevent damage

to the spiral auger housing, replace plate and shoes

before wear is excessive.

CAUTION:Beforeservicingoradjusting

thesnowthrower,shutofftheengine,remove

thesparkplugwire(s),settheparkingbrake

andremovethekeyfromthetractorignition.

REPLACING AUGER 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.

LiFT RELEASE 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.

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

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.

See figure 27.
