MAINTENANCE
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.
