KNOW YOUR SNOW THROWER

Read this owner's manual and safety rules before operating your snow thrower,

Compare the illustration below with your snow thrower to familiarize yourself with the various controls and their locations.

CHUTE TILTHANDLE

CRANK ROD

CHUTE TILT HANDLE Pivots the Upper Chute up or

down to control the angle and distance of discharge.

CRANK ROD Rotates the Lower and Upper Chutes to

control the direction of discharge.

LIFT HANDLE Used to lift or lower the snow thrower

to transport or operating position.

LIFT RELEASE TRIGGER Releases the lock which

holds the snow thrower in the transport position

UPPER AND LOWER DISCHARGE CHUTE Controls

direction and height of snow discharge.

SCRAPER PLATE Replaceable plate that absorbs

wear and impact from contact with ground.

SKID SHOE Controls amount of clearance between

the scraper plate and the ground.

SPIRAL AUGER, R.H. & L.H. Feed snow to the

impeller fan at the center of the housing.

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 START YOUR 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 dis-

charge 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.

RAISING AND LOWERING

•To raise, push down on the lift handle until the

snow thrower locks in the raised transport position.

•To lower, push down slightly on the lift handle and

pull the trigger. With the trigger pulled, slowly lower

the snow thrower until it reaches the ground.

&CAUTION: Do not operate the snow

thrower without the rear weight attached

to the tractor to provide extra traction

and stability.

REMOVING SNOW

Snow removal conditions vary greatly from light fluffy

snowfall to wet heavy snow. Operating instructions

must be flexible to fit the conditions encountered. The

operator must adapt the lawn tractor and snow thrower

to depth of snow, wind direction, temperature and

surface conditions.

• Before beginning operation, thoroughly inspect the

area of operation and remove all door mats, sleds,

boards, wires and other foreign objects.

• The spiral auger speed is directly related to engine

speed. For maximum snow removal and discharge,

maintain high engine r.p.m. (full throttle). It is

advisable to operate the lawn tractor at a slow

ground speed (1st gear) for safe and efficient snow

removal.

•In deep, drifted or banked snow it will be necessary

to use full throttle and a slow ground speed (1st

gear). Drive forward into the snow, depress the

tractor's clutch-brake pedal and allow the spiral

auger to clear the snow. Repeat this method until a

path is cleared. On the second pass, overlap the

first enough to allow the snow thrower to handle

the snow without repeated stopping and starting of

forward motion.

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES

•In extremely deep snow, raise the snow thrower

from the ground to remove the top layer and drive

forward only until the tractors front tires reach the

uncleared bottom layer of snow. Depress the

tractor's clutch-brake pedal and allow the spiral

auger to clear the snow. Reverse the tractor and

lower the snow thrower to the ground. Drive the

tractor forward until the snow again becomes too

deep. Repeating this process into and out of drifts

will eventually clear even the deepest of snow

piles.

•If the snow thrower becomes clogged with snow or

jammed with a foreign object, disengage the snow

thrower immediately and shut off the tractor engine.

Unclog the snow thrower before resuming opera-

tion.

DANGER: Shut off engine and

disengage snow thrower before

unclogging discharge chute. Unclog

using a wooden stick, not your hands.

OPERATING TIPS

e 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.

• Read and follow the maintenance schedule and the maintenance procedures listed in this section.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Fill in dates as you

complete regular service.

Check for loose fasteners

Check scraper and shoes for wear

Cleanin 9

Lubrication Section

X X

Service Dates

LUBRICATION

• Oil all pivot points on the snow thrower.

•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 36 and 37 on page 20.)

• 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: Before servicing or adjusting

the snow thrower, shut off the engine,

remove the spark plug wire(s), set the

parking brake and remove the key from

the tractor ignition.

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 30 on page 15.

Assemble the belt onto the clutch/idler assembly.

Refer to figures 31 and 32 on pages 15 and 16.

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 pos-

sible.

• 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 36.

SKID

SHOE

FIGURE 36

LIFT RELEASE CABLE ADJUSTMENT

•If the lift red 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 24 on page 13.

• 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 24 on page 13.

CLUTCH DISENGAGEMENT ADJUSTMENT

(Only tractors with clutch engagement rods.)

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

follows. Refer back to figure 13 on page 9.

• Place the attachment clutch lever in the disen-

gaged 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 unti_ the augers stop when the attachment

clutch lever is placed in the disengaged position.

SPIRAL AUGERS

•The spiral augers are secured to the auger shaft

with two shear bolts and hex lock nuts. If you hit a

foreign object or if ice jams the augers, the snow

thrower is designed so that the bolts will shear.

• ff the augers will not turn, check to see if the shear

bolts have sheared. See figure 37. Two replace-

ment shear bolts and hex lock nuts have been

provided with the snow thrower. For future use

order part number 710-0890A shear bolt and

number 43064 hex rock nut.
