USING THE SNOW BLADE
• Prepare the lawn tractor engine for cold weather using
instructions furnished with the lawn tractor.
• Always begin with the transmission in first (low) gear
and gradually increase speed as required.
• To reduce icing on the Blade, allow the lawn tractor
and blade to adjust to outdoor temperature before
operating.
• For improved snow removal performance, coat the
blade with automotive type paste wax.
• Do not repeatedly push snow in the same
directions. This causes excessive build up with
each successive pass.
MAINTENANCE
• Check for Loose Fasteners: During the operating
season, check all Bolts, Nuts, and Hairpin Cotters to
be sure they are secure.
• Check for Worn or Damaged Parts: During the
operating season, clean the Blade off after each use.
Touch up any bare metal with paint or apply a light
coat of grease or rust preventative.
• Lubricate Blade (FIGURE 20): Lubricate all Pivot
points to help maintain proper operation of Blade.
Apply a light coating of oil to the straight upper portion
of the Lift Handle Rod.
