are of particular importance. 

DANGER

Always stop snowblower for servicing or unplugging. The PTO 

should be disengaged before dismounting from the tractor. 

11.  Shear sprocket: The shear sprocket (#52) should be checked at the beginning of every season to 

make sure it will spin freely. Clean to loosen if necessary.

12.  When replacing bearings or tightening a loose bearing collar, always tighten collar in the 

direction of shaft rotation using a center punch or a similar tool. 

CAUTION

Avoid raising or lowering snowblower under load. Doing so can 

create excessive end pressure on the PTO shaft which could lead 

to bearing failure on the snowblower.
