Wheel weights and tire chains must be used with
your snow blade for traction. These accessories are
available at your nearest Sears retail store.
Using the Snow blade
• Prepare the lawn tractor engine for cold weather
using instructions furnished with the lawn tractor.
• Alwaysbeginwiththetransmissioninrst(low)gear
and gradually increase speed as required.
• Do not repeatedly push snow in the same direction.
This causes excessive build up with each successive
pass.
• To reduce icing on the blade, allow the lawn tractor
and blade to adjust to outdoor temperature before
operating.
• For improved snow removal performance, coat the
blade with automotive type paste wax.
CAUTION: Carefully inspect the area
to be worked before operating the snow
blade. Avoid pipes, roots, curbs or other
heavy obstructions.
CAUTION: Know the terrain. Avoid
exceptionally steep slopes or drop-offs
which may be hidden by the snow.
Never run the snow blade into heavy
material at high speed.
CAUTION: Always lower the blade to
the ground before leaving the tractor.
