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.

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

•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

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 clutchddler assembly.

• Remove the auger drive belt from the clutch/idler

assembly and from the spgal 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 55 on page 23

• Assemble the belt onto the clutch/idler assembly

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 64

FIGURE 64

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 48 on page 21

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 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

Screw the trunnion a few turns towards the front end

of the rod

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

710-0890A shear bolt and number 47810 nylock nut
