Machinery Pre-Use Checks

On receipt of your new machine and again within the first 4 hours of use, or the ‘shake in’ period as we like to call it, we always recommend checking over the machine.

• Check all bolts, Nuts and Screws are tight on the unit.
• Tighten/Check any bolts and nuts securing blades.
• If your machine has belts, check the tension and adjust if required.
• Apply grease to grease points if necessary.
• Check gear oil level. Do not overfill

Tractor Pre-Use Checks

• Check that the machine is properly attached to the tractor. Ensure that secure pins are used on the linkage mounting pins.
• Be sure to add extra weights to the front of the tractor or add wheel weights if required.
• Check that the tractor PTO shaft turns freely and that the machines PTO drive shaft can extend easily. Grease the PTO drive shaft using the grease points.
• The chain on the PTO shaft should be checked and in a good condition. The universal joints installed should be in a good state with proper protective parts.
• Before installing the PTO shaft, the tractor and machine should be stopped and remove the key.
• Install and secure all safety guards, doors and covers before starting
• Bystanders should leave the immediate area before connecting the drive from the tractor.

Running/Operating Checks

• Always keep the PTO output from the tractor at 540 RPM when running machinery.

Post-Use Regular Checks

• Check blades, belts and wearing parts. Be sure they are not damaged and blades swing freely in their mount. Repair or replace as required.
• Clean machinery and check for/clear any entangled material which may have got stuck around any rotating parts.

Application and Feature

Snow Blowers have proven their productivity and reliability for different consumers: farmers, home owners, contractors, and business owners etc. It is one of the easiest and most affordable snow Blowers you’ll ever use. It works great on concrete, gravel, driveways or grass surfaces. The manufacturing process combines state-of-the-art technology, carefully selected raw materials and experienced engineers to ensure that the Blower are reliable and productive.

Technical Data

1. Linkage Assembly
2. Blower Assembly
3. Guide Cover Adiuster
4. Auger
5. Adjusting Handle

Operations

The driver should be firstly acquainted with the specification, structure, operation methods and technical maintenance in order to guarantee safe driving and operation. The Blower mainly have three job to do:

1. Lowering
   • Lower the Blower to the surface of the snow.
2. Blower
   • Just drive and let the Auger do the work.
   • Look at the Figures 1 and 2 (pictured previously), number 4 is the Auger. The arrow marks out the rotating direction. Number 5 is the Adjusting Handle. Rotating this bar can adjust the blowing angle.
3. Raising
   • Lift the blower up to a level suitable for transportation.

Caution and Inspecting

Notes for Operation

• The Operator should thoroughly read this manual. Operator should be trained to under- stand traffic regulations, and basic operation of Blower. There should be no more than one driver in the cab.
• Use recommended hydraulic oil.
• Preform regular maintenance on machine.
• After starting, let the engine run for 5-10 min. till the gauge readings are all normal, then push down the hand brake and begin driving.
• The Temperature of the engine coolant should not be over 100 °C (212 °F). If the temperature exceed this stop operation immediately for cool down.

Roving Check

Preform the following before every work day.

• Check for any damage, wear, or loose parts on machine. Repair or replace when neces- sary.
• Remove dirt and debris around engine, battery, and radiator.
• Check for oil or water leakage in the engine, and repair damaged parts.
• Inspect whether there is leakage in the gearbox, driving axles, and connectors and replace when necessary.
• Check whether there is leakage in the brake lines.
• Check whether the tires are damaged or worn. Also check if the assembling bolts are loose.
• Check whether the handrails treadles are damaged, or bolts are loose.
• Check if gauges and electrical parts are damaged, or if bolts and couplings are loose.

Checks and Maintenance before and after work

Checks before starting Engine:

• Sufficient amount of fuel in the tank.
• Enough Coolant in the radiator.
• Lubricant in oil pan is up to operational level.
• Sufficient amount of hydraulic and brake oil.
• Tire pressure is at normal level.
• Whether rim bolts and drive shaft are loose.
• High-Low speed control levers and devise control levers are in neutral position.

Checks after starting engine:

• Reading on all gauges are normal.
• Leakage in any of the system.
• Each switch, lamp, gauge, and horn are in working order.
• Abnormal noise from the engine or transmission.
• Each lever or handle is in working order.
• Insure the Steering Wheel is not loose.
• Brakes are operational.
• Tractor and Blower are in working condition.

Maintenance after work:

• Check fuel level in diesel tank.
• Check if oil level in Oil Pan is normal.
• Check whether there is overheating in the transmission system and driving parts.
• Check for loose bolts on rims and driving shaft.
• Check for wear on tires, and tire pressure is at normal.
• Grease all rotating parts.

Driving

Starting

• Put gearshift control lever into neutral position.
• Pull handbrake into “brake” position.
• Start tractor engine.

Traveling

• After starting, run the engine for 5 min. and check that all gauges are reading normal.
• Lift Blower into carry position.
• Release hand brake.
• Put high-low lever and gearshift lever into operating position. Push down throttle pedal to travel the machine.

Parking

Before parking put gearshift lever into neutral position, and run the engine in slow speed for 3-5 min. Pull hand brake to “brake” position. Turn the central power switch off if you are parking it for a long time.

Technical Maintenance

In order to guarantee your Blower remains in full operating capacity and prevent early wear, periodic maintenance is necessary.

1. After assembly grease all lubrication points.
2. Make sure all bolts are tightened.
3. Check whether there is sufficient amount of fuel in the tank. Check for any leaks in the systems.
4. After working the blade should be facing the ground, as to insure the safety of the operator.

When storing the Blower for long periods of time, make sure to have it in a arid area. This will prevent it from rusting.

Connecting Electric Motor

• Wire harness plugs into electric motor, then run wire harness to battery and connect positive + (red) and negitive – (blue) wires to the battery.

PTO Shaft Resizing

Saftey: Ensure tractor & machine is stopped and keys are out of the ignition before carrying out any work. If you are not confident in carrying out the wor, consult your local supplier or mechanic.

Most PTO driven implements are supplied with a standard size PTO shaft. As all tractors vary, this often means cutting it down to size. Always replace worn or damage PTO shafts. Attach the machine to the tractor without the PTO shaft, raise the linkage so the PTO shaft is level horizontal. Measure the length between tractor PTO and the machine’s shaft. If the compressed (closed) PTO shaft length exceeds the one measured here then the driveline will need to be cut.

1. PTO length adjustment, First remove shaft shielding
2. Shorten the driveline tubes to proper equal lengths
3. Tidy edges of the drive tube with a file and clean all fillings from the tubes
4. Shorten the equally long guard tubes to the same length as the driveline tubes
5. Grease the internal driveline tub
6. Fit the gaurd on the shaft
7. Make sure that the length allows for at least 6 inches of overlap
