DANGER: Always stop blowing for servicing or unplugging. The PTO should be
disengaged before dismounting from the tractor.
10.
CAUTION: Always check to see that both ends of the PTO shaft are securely attached as
per instructions every time you are preparing to use the Snowblower.
11. Shear Sprocket: The shear sprocket (#65) should be checked at the beginning of every season
to make sure it will spin freely. With time this sprocket could corrode and seize which will not
allow the shear bolt to break if something jams in the snowblower auger. If necessary, clean
shear sprocket to ensure ability to spin freely.
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.
