Store the spring clip in the lift rod hole. 4. Push the belt tensioning lever down. 6 Installation & Removal 5. Remove the belt from the PTO pulley (A, figure 5) and from the two idler pulleys (B & C). If a mower attachment is to be used on the tractor, remove the front idler pulley (D, figure 4) and install it in upper tab. 6. Remove the snowthrower from the tractor by using either one of the following methods “a” or “b”. (The belt may remain on snowthrower pulley unless removal is desired for storage.) a. Remove the two pins and spring clips (C and D, figure 11) from snowthrower clips (E), remove the snowthrower clips (E), then remove the snowthrower. Remove the two pins and spring clips (C and D) that secure snowthrower hitch, then remove it from the tractor hitch. b. Remove the two pins and spring clips that secure snowthrower hitch (A, figure 11) to tractor hitch (B). Remove the snowthrower and hitch by pulling up and away from tractor hitch. 7. To use tractor without snowthrower, decrease tire pressure to normal psi (see tractor Operator’s Manual). Figure 11. Attach Snowthrower A. Snowthrower Hitch B. Tractor Hitch C. Pin D. Spring Clip E. Clip 7 Operation CONTROLS Figure 12 shows the locations, names and functions of the snowthrower controls. Item Name Function A Lift Lever Lifts and holds the snowthrower in its transport position & lowers snowthrower for operation. B Deflector Used to control the height and distance snow is thrown. C Wing Nut Holds deflector in position. D Spout Control Controls the direction in which snow is thrown. E Electric Lift Switch (Optional) When installed, used in place of item A to lift and lower snowthrower F Electric Rotator (Optional) When Installed, used in place of item D to rotate spout. Figure 12. Controls CHECKS BEFORE STARTING 1. Check the tires for proper inflation pressure: 20 psi (138 kPa) is recommended for front tires when snowthrower is installed. 2. Refer to Normal Care section of this manual to determine and perform needed care. Also refer to the Normal Care section in the Operator’s Manual to be sure the tractor is prepared for winter use. 3. Clear the area of operation of all articles which might be caught in or thrown by the snowthrower. 4. Adjust the chute deflector by loosening the wing nut and moving the deflector up or down. Be sure to tighten the wing nut after positioning the deflector. Most snowthrowing can be done with the deflector all the way up and the engine at 3/4 to full speed. 5. Clear the auger of any ice particles which may damage the auger. 6. Adjust the skid shoes as outlined in the Adjustment section of this manual to suit the type of surface you will be operating on. 7. Make sure all screws, nuts and pins are installed and secure. Awarning SLOPE OPERATION Never operate on slopes greater than 34 percent (19.3°) which is a rise of 3-1/2 feet (1067 mm) vertically in 10 feet (3.1 m) horizontally. When operating on slopes greater than 20 percent (11.3° ), one wheel weight on each rear wheel and tire chains are required. Select slow ground speed before driving onto a slope. Do not use brakes to control speed. On Semi-Automatic and 6-Speed models, do not attempt to shift gears while on slopes because once out of gear, it may not be possible to shift into another gear. Drive UP and DOWN the slope, never across the face. Use caution when changing directions and DO NOT START OR STOP ON SLOPES. TRANSPORTING Disengage the PTO and then raise the snowthrower. Adjust ground speed according to ground conditions. ENGINE SPEED & GEAR SELECTION Set the tractor engine control for 3/4 to full speed for normal snow throwing. Full engine speed is best when throwing wet and heavy snow. Use the slower engine speeds to adjust the throwing distance during operation and when throwing light snow. The tractor ground speed will depend upon the type and amount of snow that must be cleared. For most conditions, 1 to 2 mph (1.6 to3.2 km/h) isagood starting speed. Refer to your tractor manual and set the transmission gear shift or control lever accordingly. As the snow gets heavier and wetter, you will want to increase engine speed and decrease tractor speed. 8 Operation SNOW REMOVAL SUGGESTIONS A, CAUTION Always raise the snowthrower before turning or backing to prevent damage to it. Determine the best snow removal pattern before beginning. Wind direction is an important factor to consider. Rotate the spout to discharge snow downwind. Plan the pattern so that you avoid throwing snow on cleared areas on on yourself as you’re operating. When land contour permits, it is best to travel in the longest direction to minimize turning. A WARNING If the auger stalls or the chute plugs, disengage the PTO, stop the engine and remove the key. Set the parking brake and WAIT FOR MOVING PARTS TO STOP. Remove the foreign object or clear the spout before restarting engine. In very deep or heavy snow, it may be necessary to make th...
