KNOW YOUR SNOW THROWER

Read this owner's manual and safety rules before operating your snow thrower,Compare the illustration below with your snow thrower to familiarize yourself with the various controls and their locations.

CHUTE TILTHANDLE

CRANK ROD

CHUTE TILT HANDLE Pivots the Upper Chute up ordown to control the angle and distance of discharge.

CRANK ROD Rotates the Lower and Upper Chutes tocontrol the direction of discharge.

LIFT HANDLE Used to lift or lower the snow throwerto transport or operating position.

LIFT RELEASE TRIGGER Releases the lock whichholds the snow thrower in the transport position

UPPER AND LOWER DISCHARGE CHUTE Controls

direction and height of snow discharge.SCRAPER PLATE Replaceable plate that absorbswear and impact from contact with ground.

SKID SHOE Controls amount of clearance betweenthe scraper plate and the ground.

SPIRAL AUGER, R.H. & L.H. Feed snow to theimpeller fan at the center of the housing.

BEFORE STARTING• Use the end of assembly checklist to verify that all

instructions have been properly completed.• Make sure the skid shoes are adjusted to maintain

adequate ground clearance between the snowthrower and the type of surface to be cleared.(Refer to the Service and Adjustments section.)

• Make sure the tractor engine has the correct oil forwinter operation (SAE 5W-30). Refer to tractorowner's manual.

HOW TO START YOUR SNOW THROWER

• The tractor should be sitting with the enginerunning at full throttle. Move the attachment clutchto the engaged position, starting the snow throwerbefore the tractor clutch is engaged.

HOW TO STOP YOUR SNOW THROWER

• To stop the snow thrower, disengage the tractor'sattachment clutch lever for manual clutches or the

clutch switch for electric clutches. Refer to yourtractor owner's manual

HOW TO USE YOUR SNOW THROWER

& CAUTION: Never direct dischargetowards bystanders or windows. Do notallow anyone in front of unit.

CONTROLLING SNOW DISCHARGE• To control the direction snow is thrown, the dis-

charge chute has 180 degrees of rotation. Turn thecrank rod clockwise to rotate the chute to the right.Turn the crank rod counterclockwise to rotate thechute to the left.

To control the distance snow is thrown, the uppersection of the discharge chute pivots up and down.Push forward on the chute tilt handle to pivot thechute down, decreasing the distance snow isthrown. Pull back on the handle to pivot the chuteup, increasing the distance snow is thrown.

18

RAISING AND LOWERING

• To raise, push down on the lift handle until thesnow thrower locks in the raised transport position.

• To lower, push down slightly on the lift handle andpull the trigger. With the trigger pulled, slowly lowerthe snow thrower until it reaches the ground.

& CAUTION: Do not operate the snowthrower without the rear weight attachedto the tractor to provide extra tractionand stability.

REMOVING SNOW

Snow removal conditions vary greatly from light fluffysnowfall to wet heavy snow. Operating instructionsmust be flexible to fit the conditions encountered. The

operator must adapt the lawn tractor and snow throwerto depth of snow, wind direction, temperature andsurface conditions.

• Before beginning operation, thoroughly inspect thearea of operation and remove all door mats, sleds,boards, wires and other foreign objects.

• The spiral auger speed is directly related to enginespeed. For maximum snow removal and discharge,maintain high engine r.p.m. (full throttle). It isadvisable to operate the lawn tractor at a slowground speed (1st gear) for safe and efficient snowremoval.

• In deep, drifted or banked snow it will be necessaryto use full throttle and a slow ground speed (1stgear). Drive forward into the snow, depress thetractor's clutch-brake pedal and allow the spiralauger to clear the snow. Repeat this method until apath is cleared. On the second pass, overlap thefirst enough to allow the snow thrower to handlethe snow without repeated stopping and starting offorward motion.

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES

• In extremely deep snow, raise the snow throwerfrom the ground to remove the top layer and driveforward only until the tractors front tires reach theuncleared bottom layer of snow. Depress thetractor's clutch-brake pedal and allow the spiralauger to clear the snow. Reverse the tractor andlower the snow thrower to the ground. Drive thetractor forward until the snow again becomes toodeep. Repeating this process into and out of driftswill eventually clear even the deepest of snowpiles.

• If the snow thrower becomes clogged with snow orjammed with a foreign object, disengage the snowthrower immediately and shut off the tractor engine.Unclog the snow thrower before resuming opera-tion.

DANGER: Shut off engine anddisengage snow thrower beforeunclogging discharge chute. Unclogusing a wooden stick, not your hands.

OPERATING TIPS

e Discharge snow down wind whenever possible.• To help prevent snow from sticking to the snow

thrower, allow the snow thrower to reach outdoor

temperature before using it. A light coat of wax mayalso be applied to the inside surface of the snowthrower housing and discharge chute.

• Use tire chains to improve traction.• Use rear wheel weights to improve traction.• Before the first snowfall, remove all stones, sticks

and other objects which could become hidden bythe snow. Permanent obstacles should be markedfor visibility.

• Overlap each pass slightly to assure completesnow removal.

• Read and follow the maintenance schedule and the maintenance procedures listed in this section.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Fill in dates as youcomplete regular service.

Check for loose fasteners

Check scraper and shoes for wearCleanin 9Lubrication Section

XX X

XX

Service Dates

LUBRICATION

• Oil all pivot points on the snow thrower.• Oil the pivot points of the two idler arms on the

clutch/idler assembly., Apply penetrating oil to the control cables of the

discharge chute.• Apply a good grade of spray lubricant to the trigger

assembly and the chute tilt control assembly.

CHECK SCRAPER AND SHOES FOR WEAR

(Refer to figures 36 and 37 on page 20.)• The scraper plate and skid shoes on the bottom of

the snow thrower are subject to wear. To preventdamage to the spiral auger housing, replace plateand shoes before wear is excessive.

19

&CAUTION: Before servicing or adjustingthe snow thrower, shut off the engine,remove the spark plug wire(s), set theparking brake and remove the key fromthe tractor ignition.

REPLACING AUGER BELT• Disengage the tractor's attachment clutch.• Lower the snow thrower to the ground.• Remove the attachment pin.• Lock the snow thrower's lift handle in the down

position to decrease belt tension.• Release the spring tension from the auger belt idler

arm on the bottom of the clutch/idler assembly.• Remove the auger drive belt from the clutch/idler

assembly and from the spiral auger housing.• Install new belt over top of large auger drive pulley

and under the two side idler pulleys. Twist the belt1/4 turn to seat the "V" of the belt in the groove ofeach idler pulley. Refer to figure 30 on page 15.Assemble the belt onto the clutch/idler assembly.Refer to figures 31 and 32 on pages 15 and 16.

SKID SHOE ADJUSTMENT• The skid shoes are mounted on each side of the

spiral auger housing. They regulate the distancethe scraper plate is raised above the plowingsurface. When removing snow from a graveldriveway or and uneven surface, it is advisable tokeep the scraper plate as high above the surfaceas possible to prevent possible damage to thespiral auger, On blacktop or concrete surface, keepthe scraper plate as close to the surface as pos-sible.

• Raise the snow thrower off the ground and place ablock under each end of the scraper plate. Loosenthe six hex nuts securing the skid shoes to thehousing. Adjust the skid shoes up or down andretighten the nuts securely. Adjust both skid shoesto the same height to keep the housing and thescraper plate level. See figure 36.

SKIDSHOE

FIGURE 36

LIFT RELEASE CABLE ADJUSTMENT• If the lift red does not lock the snow thrower

securely in the transport position, loosen the upperhex nut on the lift bracket a few turns and tightenthe lower hex nut. Refer to figure 24 on page 13.

• if the lift rod fails to unlock completely to lower thesnow thrower, loosen the lower hex nut on the liftbracket a few turns and tighten the upper hex nut.Refer to figure 24 on page 13.

CLUTCH DISENGAGEMENT ADJUSTMENT

(Only tractors with clutch engagement rods.)If the spiral auger on the snow thrower does not stopwhen the attachment clutch lever on the tractor isdisengaged, then adjustment is necessary. Proceed asfollows. Refer back to figure 13 on page 9.• Place the attachment clutch lever in the disen-

gaged position.• Remove the hairpin cotter from the engagement

rod trunnion and lift the trunnion out of the hole inthe idler arm.

• Screw the trunnion a few turns towards the frontend of the rod.

• Replace the trunnion into the hole in the idler armand secure it with the hairpin cotter.Check the operation of the snow thrower. If thespiral augers still do not stop, repeat the abovesteps unti_ the augers stop when the attachmentclutch lever is placed in the disengaged position.

SPIRAL AUGERS

• The spiral augers are secured to the auger shaftwith two shear bolts and hex lock nuts. If you hit aforeign object or if ice jams the augers, the snowthrower is designed so that the bolts will shear.

• ff the augers will not turn, check to see if the shearbolts have sheared. See figure 37. Two replace-ment shear bolts and hex lock nuts have beenprovided with the snow thrower. For future useorder part number 710-0890A shear bolt andnumber 43064 hex rock nut.
