Safety – Reduce your speed when making sharp turns and when turning on hillsides. Hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, and proper training of the personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of the machine. Improper use or maintenance of the machine can result in injury or death. To reduce the potential for injury or death, comply with the following safety instructions. – Avoid sudden starts and stops.
Safety and Instruction Decals Safety decals and instructions are easily visible to the operator and are located near any area of potential danger. Replace any decal that is damaged or lost. 98-3110 1. Danger–Make sure the operator’s are thoroughly trained and familiar with the Operator’s Manual. 2. Danger–Wear ear protection 3. Thrown object hazard–Keep bystanders away. 4. Always wear eye protection 5. Cutting hazard to hands or feet–wait until all machine components have stopped before touching them.

Setup Note: Use this chart as a checklist to ensure that all parts have been received. Without these parts, total setup cannot be completed. Description Qty. Castor wheel 2 Axle 2 Washer 8 Cotter pin 4 Drive shaft 1 Mount drive shaft blower and tractor Operator’s Manual 1 Read before operating the machine. Parts Catalog 1 Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Use Mount castor wheels to castor forks 2.
Install Castor Wheels 6. Secure the lower link arms to the hitch pins with the lynch pins (Fig. 4). 1. Install a castor wheel assembly between each castor fork with (4) washers, axle and (2) cotter pins (Fig. 3). Connecting the Upper Link Note: Two washers to be positioned between each side of wheel and castor fork. 1. Connect the upper link to the holes in the blower bracket and secure it with a clevis pin and lynch pin (Fig. 5). 1 1 2 3 Figure 3 1. Wheel assembly 2. Castor fork 3.
3. Slide the PTO shaft forward as far as it will go. 4. At it’s shortest length, the two halves of the PTO shaft must have at least 1-1/2 inches (37 mm) of additional clearance to collapse (Fig. 6). If the dimension in step 2 is not at least 1-1/2 inches (37 mm) greater than the dimension in step 3, the PTO shaft is too long; proceed to step 5. If there is enough clearance to allow the PTO shaft to collapse, proceed to step 10. 4. Depress the pin to secure the PTO shaft in place.
2 1 Figure 9 1 1. 3 point lift stop Note: Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for adjustment procedures. Removing the Blower from the Tractor 1. Stop the vehicle on a level surface, not on a slope. Figure 8 1. Sway link 2. Disengage the PTO and engage the parking brake. 2. Link body 3. Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition switch. 4. Before leaving the operator’s seat on the tractor, wait for the engine and all moving parts to stop. Adjusting the 3 Point Lift Stop 5.
Operation Adjusting Discharge Direction The direction of the discharge opening can be changed from the side to the front by moving the control handle (Fig. 10). Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. 2 Operating Tips Warning 1 Discharged air has considerable force and could cause injury or loss of footing. • Stay away from the discharge opening when the machine is operating.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Greasing the Blower Fan Shaft Bearings The (2) fan shaft bearings (Fig. 11) must be lubricated after every 8 hours of operation with a No. 2 Lithium-based grease. Figure 12 Drive Shaft Under normal conditions, grease the (2) drive shaft fittings after every 100 hours of use (Fig. 13). Use a No. 2 Lithium-based grease.
Adjusting the Blower Belt 2. Remove capscrew and nut securing tensioner guide to blower frame(Fig. 15). Belt tension will be released when capscrew is removed. Make sure belt is properly tensioned to ensure proper operation of the machine and unnecessary wear. Check belt frequently. 3 Note: Check/adjust the blower belt tension after the first 20 hours of operation. 2 1. Remove the 3 capscrews, 6 washers, and 3 nuts securing the belt guard to the blower housing (Fig. 14). Remove the guard.
Troubleshooting Problem There is excessive vibration. There is lack of adequate air flow. Possible Causes Corrective Action 1. The bearing(s) on the fan shaft is damaged. 1. Replace the bearings. 2. Material is built up on the fan blades. 2. Clean out any build up on the inside of the housing. 3. The RPM of the PTO shaft is too fast. 3. Reduce the PTO speed to 540 RPM. 1. The air slots are clogged with debris. 1. Clean out any debris from the slots. 2. The RPM on the tractor is too slow. 2.
Storage 1. Thoroughly clean the blower. The fan housing should be free of dirt, leaves, and debris. 2. Lubricate all grease fittings. Wipe off any excess lubricant. 3. Place a light coat of grease on the splines of the PTO shaft. 4. Tighten all fasteners.
