Off-Season Storage  
Engine & Ground Speed Selection  
WARNING  
Always run the engine at full throttle.  
To prevent an explosion or fire, never store the  
tractor with fuel in the tank inside a building where  
an ignition source is present.  
Normally, a low ground speed is best for throwing snow.  
The deeper or heavier the snow, the slower the recom-  
mended ground speed.  
Starting & Stopping  
1. Remove snowthrower from the tractor. Hitch can  
remain installed if other attachments are to be used.  
1. Start the tractor engine. Set engine throttle at full  
speed.  
2. Use water pressure or a brush to thoroughly clean  
the housing.  
2. Lower the snowthrower.  
3. Paint, or lightly coat with oil, any area where paint  
has been worn or chipped away.  
3. Engage the electric clutch switch. Snowthrower auger  
should rotate. Disengage the electric clutch switch.  
snowthrower auger should stop.  
4. Lubricate the snowthrower.  
4. Select the proper ground speed.  
5. Store the snowthrower and hitch in a dry place.  
5. To stop the tractor, depress the clutch/brake pedal.  
To stop the snowthrower, disengage the electric  
clutch. Before leaving the seat, stop the engine, dis-  
engage the electric clutch, set the parking brake,  
remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop.  
Snow Removal Suggestions  
• Determine the best snow removal pattern before  
beginning.  
• Wind direction is an important factor to consider.  
Rotate the spout to discharge snow downwind.  
• Plan the pattern so that you avoid throwing snow on  
cleared areas and on yourself as you are operating.  
WARNING  
If auger does not start and stop when engag-  
ing/disengaging electric clutch, see your autho-  
rized dealer. Under no circumstances should you  
attempt to defeat the safety system.  
• When land contour permits, it is best to travel in the  
longest direction to minimize turning.  
• In very deep or heavy snow, it may be necessary to  
make the first pass with snowthrower partially raised,  
backing up every few feet to clear the snow left on  
the surface. Also, it may be necessary to slice off less  
than the full width of the auger or reduce ground  
speed.  
WARNING  
If the auger stalls or the chute plugs, DISENGAGE  
THE ELECTRIC CLUTCH, STOP THE ENGINE AND  
REMOVE THE KEY. SET THE PARKING BRAKE.  
WAIT FOR MOVING PARTS TO STOP. Remove the  
foreign object or clear the spout with a piece of  
wood before restarting the engine. Never place  
hands into auger housing or spout to clear  
jammed object. Auger may rotate when object is  
removed.  
• If snow stops flowing freely from the spout, back  
away until the snowthrower clears itself.  
CAUTION  
Always raise the snowthrower before turning or  
backing up, to prevent damage to the unit.
