Section 4: Operation
Transporting the unit
Release the auger drive control lever to
disengage the auger drive whenever the
unit is being transported to the work site.
The unit is extremely heavy. Have at least
one other person help you when loading
or unloading the unit into a truck or trailer.
Use ramps when loading or unloading the
unit onto a trailer or truck. Securely tie
the unit to prevent shifting while in transit.
Snowthrowing tips
• Remove snow as soon as possible
after a snowfall.
• Run the engine at full throttle (the “
”
position).
• Spray silicone spray onto the inside of:
the auger housing, the discharge
chute, the deflector cap, and also on
the augers to help prevent snow from
sticking. (Do not spray silicone on
rubber or plastic: damage will result).
• Direct discharge downwind.
• If a smooth area is being cleared:
adjust the skid shoes so the scraper
blade is approximately 1/8" (3mm)
from the ground.
• If a rough or gravel area is being
cleared: adjust the skid shoes so the
scraper blade clears the rough or
gravel surface.
• Use low travel speeds for safety and to
prevent overloading the unit.
Snowthrowing Patterns
Use pattern in Fig. 4-7 when snow can
only be thrown to one side. Begin
throwing snow closest to the side
opposite where it can be thrown and direct
the discharge away from that side. When
turning the unit around after each pass,
rotate the discharge chute as you proceed
so snow continues to be thrown in the
proper direction.
Use pattern in Fig. 4-8 to throw snow to
both sides. When turning the unit, rotate
the discharge chute as necessary to throw
snow in the proper direction.
Fig. 4-8
Fig. 4-7
As you turn, rotate the discharge chute so that the snow is always thrown in
this direction.
The discharge chute stays the same direction except when turning.
Snow is thrown to each side.
