ALWAYS USE GENUINE PARTS WHEN
REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE REQUIRED
1. Keep the tractor and snowblower properly
maintained.
2. Park the tractor/snowblower on level
ground, place the transmission in neutral,
set the parking brake, disengage the PTO,
lower the snowblower to the ground, place
all control levers in neutral, shut off the
engine and remove the ignition key and
allow the rotating parts to stop BEFORE
making any snowblower adjustments.
3. To avoid injury, do not adjust, unblock the
driving system, or service the snowblower
with the tractor engine running. Make sure
rotating components have completely
stopped before leaving the operator’s seat.
4. Keep the tractor/snowblower clean. Snow ,
dirt or ice build-up can lead to malfunction
or personal injury from thawing and
refreezing in garage.
5. Always wear eye protection when cleaning
or servicing the snowblower.
6. DO NOT service the tractor while the
engine is running or hot, or if the unit is in
motion. Always lower snowblower to the
ground. If necessary to service snowblower
in raised position, securely support with
stands or suitable blocking before working
underneath. Do not rely on hydraulically
supported devices for your safety. They can
settle suddenly, leak down, or be
accidentally lowered.
7. Do not attempt to service machine, clear
obstructions or unclog the snowblower with
the engine running. Always shut off engine
and allow all motion to cease.
8. The manufacturer will not claim
responsibility for fitment of unapproved
parts and/or accessories and any damages
as a result of their use.
9. Make sure all shields and guards are
securely in place following all service,
cleaning, or repair work.
10.Do not modify or alter this snowblower or
any of its components or operating
functions. If you have questions concerning
modifications, consult with your dealer.
11.Do not operate a snowblower that is
defective or has missing parts. Make sure
that all recommended maintenance
procedures are completed before operating
the snowblower.
12.Check all controls regularly and adjust
where necessary. Make sure that the
brakes are evenly adjusted.
13.Periodically check all nuts and bolts for
tightness, especially wheel hub and rim
nuts.
14.To avoid serious personal injury: Escaping
hydraulic/diesel fluid under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
Do not use your hands to check for leaks.
Use a piece of cardboard or paper to
search for leaks. If you are injured by
escaping high pressure fluid, see a medical
doctor at once.
15.Stop engine and relieve pressure before
connecting or disconnecting hydraulic
hoses. Tighten all connections before
starting engine or pressurizing hoses.
