Operating Attachment

1. Install appropriate tire chains to improve traction.

2. Avoid injury! Machine can become unstable when operating with attachment. Ballast is required when the attachment is installed. When the attachment is removed, also remove any ballast that was added to the machine. Use only attachments and accessories recommended by the manufacturer.

   Required Ballast:

   • Two wheel weights.
   
   

   Recommended ballast:

   • Rear weight box with 9 suit case weights (with this option wheel weights not needed).
   
   

   To improve traction:

   Certain working conditions may be improved by using tire chains or rear ballast.

   • Install chains on rear drive tires.
   • Install wheel weights on rear drive wheels.
   • Install rear weight bracket or rear weight box with suitcase weights.
   
   

3. Avoid injury! Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide and can cause serious illness or death.

   Move the machine to an outside area before running the engine.

   Do not run an engine in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation.

   • Connect a pipe extension to the engine exhaust pipe to direct the exhaust fumes out of the area.
   • Allow fresh outside air into the work area to clear exhaust fumes out.
   
   

   Lever must be in float position to allow attachment to follow contours of ground.

   Start engine.

   Engage PTO.

6. Operate attachment at full throttle position for best performance.

   Move throttle lever to full throttle position.

7. Avoid injury! Snow and ice can create unsafe conditions. Do not operate machine at high speeds when operating the attachment.

   To improve traction and steering, engage differential lock or engage four-wheel drive, if equipped.

   Push down on forward foot control pedal to begin forward movement.

Stopping the Attachment

1. Slow the machine forward speed.

2. Move the throttle to slow speed.

3. Run the attachment for several minutes after throwing snow to prevent freeze-up of the auger and impeller.

4. Disengage PTO clutch.

5. Clean snow from the attachment before storing the machine.
