Operation - MTD 19A70063OEM Manual Del Operador

Operation

Before operating the tractor, familiarize yourself with the SAFE OPERATION
PRACTICES in the tractor manual.
To change the angle of the plow, squeeze
the plow release lever against the handle
and push forward on the plow
adjustment handle to angle the plow to
the left or pull back on the plow
adjustment handle to angle it to the
right. The plow can be angled 30° to the
right, 30° to the left, or straight ahead.
Release the handle to secure into the
desired position. See Figure 18.
Tip: Adjusting the angle of the plow is easier when the plow is in the up position.
It is important that the plow is locked into position. After releasing the
lever, push or pull the plow adjustment handle to be certain the plow is
locked into one of the three positions.
To raise or lower the plow, use the plow lift
lever. See Figure 19.
NOTE:
The plow is designed for clearing snow,
leveling soft dirt or sand and other light duty
dozer jobs. The spring trip release protects the
plow, tractor and operator from severe shock
loads when the plow comes in contact with curbs
and other obstacles and is adjustable for optimal
performance. Normal use will eventually cause the
shave plate to wear. The shave plate is reversible
and replaceable.
Operate the tractor at a slow ground speed until familiar with the
operation of the plow.
Never operate the tractor at high speeds. A collision with a hidden obstacle
may damage the plow cutting edge and unseat the driver.
Exercise caution while operating tractor with this attachment, especially
when traveling in reverse.

WARNING
1. Pushing snow — Adjust the skid shoes so the plow cutting edge just
clears the surface to be plowed. In large open flat areas, the tractor can be
operated at medium speed.
NOTE:
See the Maintenance & Adjustments section for instructions for adjusting the skid
shoes.
2. Light grading — For light grading and spreading soil, sand, gravel, etc.,
adjust the shoes so they are even with the cutting edge. Control the plow
position with the plow lift lever. Operate the tractor at slow or medium
speed.
3. Heavy grading — For heavy grading of soil, sand, gravel, etc., adjust the
shoes so they are slightly above the cutting edge. Control the plow position
with the plow lift lever. Operate the tractor at slow speed.
4. Terracing — For terracing, adjust the shoes so they are approximately 1/4"
or more above the cutting edge, depending on the rate of plow penetration
desired. Angle the plow away from the trench cut by the plow. Control the
plow depth with the plow lift lever. Operate the tractor at slow speed. Once
the desired angle of the terrace is achieved, level the plow and continue
grading until the desired terrace depth or width is obtained.
To avoid an accident or injury, do not allow adults to operate the plow
without proper instruction. Never allow children to operate.
