The following inspection should be performed before
using the Snow Blower.
Inspection Procedures
Make the following inspections with Snow Blower
attached to a tractor, gearshift set in park, PTO
disengaged, and PTO completely stopped:
1. Inspect tractor safety equipment to make sure it is in
good working condition.
2. Carefully raise and lower implement to ensure
drawbar, tires, and other equipment on the tractor do
not contact Snow Blower frame or driveline.

sign, clean reflectors, and other adequate devices to warn
operators in other vehicles of your presence. Always comply
with all federal, state, and local laws.
1. Make sure driveline does not contact tractor or Snow
Blower when raising unit to transport position.
2. Reduce tractor ground speed when turning and
leave enough clearance so Snow Blower does not
contact obstacles such as buildings, trees, or fences.
3. Limit transport speed to 20 mph. Transport only with
a tractor of sufficient size and horsepower.
4. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way
that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.
5. Shift tractor to a lower gear when traveling over
rough or hilly terrain.
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed rated PTO speed.
Excessive engine speed will cause damage to
power train components.
IMPORTANT: Always disengage tractor PTO before
