obtain the best performance from your snow thrower.
• Make sure air assembly instructions have been
completed with aH bolts and nuts properly tightened.
• Make sure the correct dbve belt was installed.

HOW TO USE YOUR

HOWTO
*

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
owneCs manual
STARTYOUR

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 md counterclockwise to rotate the chute to the
left.

SNOWTHROWER

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

HOWTO
*

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

STOP YOUR SNOW THROWER

To stop the snow thrower, disengage the tractor's
attachment cEutch ]ever for manual clutches or the
clutch switch for electdc clutches

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

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

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 48 on page 21
If the lift rod fails to unlock completely to lower the

Refer to figure 48 on page 21

CLUTCH

DISENGAGEMENT

ADJUSTMENT

(For tractors with engagement rod clutches only.
Not for electric clutches or cable clutches)
if the spiral auger on the snow thrower does not stop
when the attachment clutch lever on the tractor is
disengaged, then adjustment is necessary. Proceed as
foNows. Refer back to figure 33 on page 16.
• Place the attachment clutch lever in the disengaged
position.
• Remove the hairpin cotter from the engagement rod
trunnion and lift the trunnion out of the hole in the idler
arm

ADJUSTMENT

Screw the trunnion a few turns towards the front end
of the rod

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 64

Replace the trunnion into the hole in the idler arm and
secure it with the hairpin cotter
Check the operation of the snow thrower If the spiral
augers still do not stop, repeat the above steps until
the augers stop when the attachment dutch lever is
placed in the disengaged position
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 wilt not turn, check to see if the shear
bolts have sheared See figure 65 Two replacement
shear bolts and nyiock nuts have been provided with
the snow thrower. For future use order part number

PROBLEM

•

TO REMOVE

AT END

OF SEASON

Remove the clutch/idler assembly (The two hanger
brackets and the two shoulder bolts may be left
attached to the tractor frame)
Remove the drive belt from the engine pulley.
If you replaced the engine pulley keeper on a manual
attachment clutch tractor, reinsta{l the tractor's odgina]
engine pulley keeper See figure 33 on page 16 or
figure 39 on page 18
If you have a rod operated attachment clutch, remove
the engagement rod from the tractor's clutch arm See
figure 29 on page 15
If a rear mounted attachment is to be used, remove
the rear weight tray, leaving the bolts that you installed
in the sides of the tractor draw bar Retighten the
bolts.
If a front mounted attachment is to be used, remove
the side plates from the tractor Be sure to assemble
bolts back into the empty holes in the tractor frame.

CAUSE

CORRI=CTION

Spiral augers don't turn

1. Upper or lower V belt too loose
2. Upper or lower V belt broken
3. Shear bolts are sheared

1. Increase tension on V belt
2. Replace V belt
3. Replace shear bolts

Clogged discharge chute

1. Tractor ground speed too fast
2. Tractor throttEe set too low
3. Snow too deep
4. Snow melts during contact with
the snow thrower

1. Use lower tractor gear
2. increase to full throttle
3. Raise the snow thrower
4. Allow snow thrower to cool to
outdoor temperature before using

Snow thrower stalls tractor engine

1 Object jammed in spiral auger

1 Stop engine, disengage the snow
thrower clutch and clear the auger
2 Increase to full throttle and
decrease ground speed

2 Hard or heavy snow
Front wheels slide instead of steering

Not enough traction at front wheels

1 Increase scraper plate clearance
by lowering skid shoes
2 Pull down on lift handle to
increase weight on front wheels

Snow thrower rides up over snow

1 Tractor ground speed too fast
2 Bottom snow is icy or hard packed

1 Reduce ground speed
2 Lower the skid shoes so that front
of skid shoe is lower than the rear
