CAUTION: Before proceeding to perform any adjustments on the snowblower, exercise the mandatory shut-down procedure, (see page 3) 1. The chain and sprockets should be inspected for alignment and tension on the initial use, and a periodic check should be made to keep them in alignment. 2. Adjust the auger drive chain idler and re-tighten after one (1) hour of use. Chain should have about ‘one inch of deflection. WARNING: Keep all guards, shields, and decals in place. 3. The gearbox oil level should be checked before inital start-up and every 25 hrs. of operation. ‘Add AGMA SEP or API GL-5 SAE90 as needed to maintain oil level 2-3/4" from top of gearcase. Warranty will not be allowed when it is evident that gears were run dry. 4. Check the tension of the shear bolts in the following locations often, to be sure protection devices are kept in proper and safe working condition. ‘Auger/Chain Drive protection - refer to no. 6, page 11 - Torque to 32 ttibs. Auger Chain / Gearbox protection - refer to no. 26, page 11 - Torque to 20 ft/Ibs. Gearbox/Driveline protection - refer to no. 6, page 14 - Torque to 200 inilbs. 5. Keep telescoping PTO shatt well greased or oiled, (oil should be used in severe cold conditions) 6. ‘The PTO assembly should have the square key locked down on the gearbox shaft with set-screw and addtional safety bolt going through the gearbox shat. 7. Do not operate snowblower with too long a PTO orwith a dented PTO shield. This will not allow the shatt to telescope freely. Operating under these conditions, can cause damage to gearbox, tractor or knuckles. WARNING: Be sure PTO shield turns freely DANGER: Rotating drive line. Personal injury or death can resutt from entanglement. 8. Operator should not raise and lower blower under heavy loads to gain traction if wheels on tractor are spinning. This can cause damage to PTO shatt or tractor out-put shaft 9. Adjust the blower skid shoes so the cutting blade is about 1/2" from the ground for best results. 10. Do not use snowblower as a bulldozer to push snow. Let the blower work its way through the snow. 11. Wet sticky snow requires more power to blow. The blower works better in this type of snow if itis kept working at its full capacity 42. Run third arm so biower will sit level resting on skid shoes, and the knuckles will run as straight as possible. 19. Best operating speeds of fan depend on snow conditions and tractor horsepower. 8MAINTENANCE and LUBRICATION A CAUTION: Before proceeding to perform any service routines on the snowblower, exercise the mandatory shut-down procedure. After service has been performed, be sure to restore all guards, shields, and covers to their original position. CAUTION: Before working under any hydraulically controlled implement, be certain it is securely blocked! WARNING: Never attempt to lubricate the blower with the engine running. Always be sure to exercise the ‘mandatory shut-down procedure, (see mandatory shut-down procedure, page 3) WARNING: When high pressure fluid escapes it can be almost invisible, yet have enough pressure to penetrate the skin and enter the blood steam. Never attempt to use hands to search for a suspected oil leak. If injured by escaping fluid consult a doctor at once! Serious reaction or infection can occur if proper medical treatment is not obtained immediately. CAUTION: Always wear safety goggles or glasses when working on hydraulic system to avoid eye injury. LUBRICATION A 4. Atthe beginning of each season, the gearbox should be drained and refilled o a level 2/4" from the top of gearcase with 28 oz. of AGMA SEP or API GL-5 SAE90 gear ol, 2. It snowblower gearcase is overtiled, ol will be forced out breather vent, and possibly damage seals. 3. Check oil levels before using snowblower and every 25 hours of operation thereafter. 4. Add AGMA SEP or API GL-S SAE90 as necessary to maintain cil evel 2-3/4" from top of gearcase. 5. Chain should be kept well lubricated at all times. 6. Keep telescoping PTO shaft well greased or oiled, (oil should be used in severe cold conditions). 7. Spout bands, gears and worm gears should be greased at all times. 8. Grease all bearings every 25 hours. WARNING: Keep all quards, shields, and decals in place. STORAGE 1. With engine stopped, ignition key removed, and PTO disengaged, clean snow from blower especially in areas of drive chain, fan, spout, and auger where it could become frozen and cause damage when unit is used next time, Be sure to exercise the mandatory shut-down procedure, (see mandatory shut-down procedure page 3) 2. Oilall chain and lubricate grease fitings at time blower is cleaned of snow. Paint all worn parts to prevent rusting, 4, Always reler to operator's manual for important details if snowblower is to be stored for an extended period.
