OPERATION
Before the first snowfall, the area in which snow removal is
to take place should be cleared of all stones, sticks and the like
which might be picked up by the
auger.
All obstacles should be
marked to protect the tractor and auger from possible collision.
Check the tractor and Snow Blower to be sure that both are
in good operating condition
.
A light coat of wax or a coat of a silicone spray lubncant
applied to the inside surfaces of the auger housing will prevent
snow and ice from sticking to it. The wax or spray should be
applied several times during the snow removal season
.
Fill gas tank out of doors and avoid spilling gasoline over the
engine.
Do not fill tank while smoking or while engine is running
.
Allow ample engine warm up time before starting snow re-
moval.
To become familiar with the controls, operate the tractor and
Snow Blower in a clear area before attempting to remove
snow.
The more familiar you become with the Snow Blower and its oper-
ation, the better results you will
have.
For best results, snow should be removed as soon as possible
after it falls.
Do not remove any guards or covers while operating the
tractor and Snow
Blower.
Also do not operate with any guards
removed
.
The auger speed is directly related to engine
speed.
For maxi-
mum snow removal and discharge, maintain high engine RPM (full
throttle). It is advisable to operate the tractor at a very slow
ground speed for safe and efficient snow removal. A tandem trans-
mission is highly recommended.
If the snow cover is extremely deep, raise the Header to its
highest position and drive forward until the tractor tires reach
the unblown
snow.
Do not drive onto this snow. Back up, lower
header, and drive forward again
.
In this manner the deepest snow
can be removed.
The use of tire chains and wheel weights is recommended for
extra traction especially when heavy snows or icy conditions occur.
Whenever possible discharge snow
downwind.
Do not attempt to remove ice or hard packed frozen snow.
Always overlap each pass slightly to assure complete snow
removal.
A frozen or stuck auger or elbow must be broken loose or
thawed with
care.
When attempting to loosen a jammed auger,
shut off tractor engine and remove spark plug wire. Never attempt
to clear Snow Blower at any time with tractor engine running. If
the auger suddenly comes unstuck, you will loose your fingers!
A definite pattern is required for thorough and efficient snow
removal. If snow can be blown to either side, start the first pass
in the center of the area. With each additional pass alternate sides
of the cleared area and blow the snow over the uncleared area
.
If snow can be blown only to one side, start at the other side of
the area and blow the snow in one direction
only.
Alternate the
angle of the discharge chute with each
pass.
Be extremely careful as the Snow Blower will throw objects
other than snow. Keep children, adults and animals away to avoid
any danger to them both from thrown objects and from contact with
the rotating
auger.
After the area has been cleared and the Snow Blower is to
be put away, be sure that the auger housing and discharge chute
are clear of all snow and slush, especially slush. If the tempera-
ture drops and the slush or snow freezes in the header, it may
become virtually impossible to clear it without applying heat.
At the end of the season the following steps are recommended
:
Wash off any salt deposit which may have dried on the Snow
Blower and housing. Paint or cover exposed metal with a light
coat of oil.
Lubricate the Snow Blower following the lubrication instruc-
tions.
The Snow Blower chain must be oiled thoroughly to prevent
rust from forming.
Store Snow Blower in a dry
place.

LUBRICATION
Auger Chain: Lubricate chain with 30 weight oil every 20
operating hours. Be sure oil reaches inside each
roller.
Wipe off
excess oil.
Pivot and Friction
Points:
To maintain smooth and free opera-
tion apply a few drops of 30 weight oil as required to all friction
and pivot points.
Deflector:
Lubricate defector with a water repellent grease
as
needed.
Bearings: Lubricate Header Bearings and pillow block bearing
after every 50 hours of operation with a good wheel bearing grease.
The header grease fittings are located on the right side when
facing the front of the header. The Pillow Block grease fitting is
located on the Pillow Block housing
.
Be .careful not to overfill the
bearings. Also be sure to wipe the fittings clean before greasing
to prevent dirt from being forced in the bearings and after they
have been
lubricated.
