OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d.
9. Periodically check all bolts for tightness. The bolt holding on the
fan and the bearing bolts are of particular importance.
10. Danger: Always stop blower for servicing or unplugging.
The PTO should be disengaged before dismounting from the tractor.
11. Caution: Always check to see that both ends of the PTO shaft are
securely attached as per instructions every time you are preparing to use
the snowblower.
12. When replacing bearings or tightening a loose bearing collar, always
tighten collar in the direction of shaft rotation using a center punch or a
similar tool.
13. Shear Sprocket: The shear sprocket (#43) should be checked at the
beginning of every season to make sure it will spin freely. With time the
sprocket plate could corrode and seize which will not allow the shear bolt
to break if something jams in the snowblower auger. Clean to loosen if
necessary.
