should read this and other manuals related to the vehicle and accessory before operating. It is the owner's legal

obligation to instruct all operators in safe operation of the accessory.

GLOSSARY:

In this manual, right and left sides are determined by

In this manual, "accessories" means attachments

(snowblower, rotary broom, blade etc.) that you install

on the vehicle (lawn tractors, A.T.V. s etc).

TRAINING:

This symbol, "Safety Alert Symbol", is used

throughout this manual and on the

accessory’s safety labels to warn of the

possibility of serious injury. Please take

special care in reading and understanding

the safety precautions before operating the

vehicle and accessory.

1. Read this owner's manual carefully. Be thoroughly

familiar with the controls and proper use of the

vehicle and accessory. Know how to stop the unit

and disengage the controls quickly.

2. Never allow children to operate the vehicle nor the

accessory. Never allow adults to operate the vehicle

nor the accessory without proper instructions.

3. No one should operate the vehicle nor the

accessory while intoxicated or while taking

medication that impairs the senses or reactions.

4. Keep the area of operation clear of all people,

particularly small children and pets.

PREPARATION:

1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the accessory

is to be used and remove door mats, all foreign

objects and the like.

2. For motorized accessories, disengage all clutches

and shift into neutral before starting engine.

3. Do not operate the accessory without wearing

adequate winter outer garments. Avoid loose fitting

clothing that can get caught in moving parts. Wear

footwear that will improve footing on slippery

surfaces.

4. Handle fuel with care, it is highly flammable.

a) Use approved fuel container.

b) Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine.

c) Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill

fuel tank indoors.

d) Never fill containers inside a vehicle, or on a

truck or a trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always

place containers on the ground, away from your

vehicle, before filling.

e) When practical, remove gas-powered

equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it

on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel

such equipment on a trailer with a portable

container, rather than from a gasoline

dispenser nozzle.

f) Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the

fuel tank or container opening at all times, until

refueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-

open device.

g) Replace fuel cap securely and wipe up spilled

fuel.

h) If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing

immediately.

5. Never attempt to make any adjustments while the

engine (motor) is running (except when specifically

recommended by manufacturer).

6. Let the vehicle and accessory adjust to outdoor

temperatures before using.

7. Never use an accessory without proper guards,

plates, or other safety protective devices in place

8. Always make sure to wear the appropriate safety

equipment required (glasses, muffs, mask…) for

each type of product. See operation section.

9. Always make sure of having safe traction on the

vehicle by using the recommended accessories

(chains, A.T.V. tracks, counterweights…). See

operation section.

10. Always make sure the all components are correctly

installed. (driveline securely attached and locked at

both ends, belts properly installed…)

11. Never modify the accessory or any part without

the written consent from the manufacturer.

4

OPERATION:

1. Do not put hands or feet near, under or inside rotating

parts.

2. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or

crossing gravel drives, walks or roads. Stay alert for

hidden hazards or traffic. Do not carry passengers.

3. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine (motor),

disconnect the wire from the spark plug(s) and keep

wire away to prevent accidental starting. Thoroughly

inspect the accessory for any damage and repair

damage before restarting and using the accessory.

4. If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the

engine (motor) and check immediately for the

cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

5. Take all possible precautions when leaving the

vehicle unattended. Disengage the power take-off,

lower the attachment, place the transmission into

neutral, set the parking brake, stop the engine and

remove the contact key.

6. Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting

the engine and for transporting in or out of the

building. Do not operate or let motor run in a storage

area without ventilation because gas contains

carbon monoxide which is odorless, colorless and

can cause death.

7. Never use the accessories across the face of

slopes, go from top to bottom. Exercise extreme

caution when using equipment on slopes. Do not

attempt to clear a steep slope.

8. Never tolerate bystanders in the working zone.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

1. When cleaning, repairing or inspecting the vehicle

and accessory, make certain that all moving parts

have stopped. For gasoline engine, disconnect wire

from the spark plug(s) and keep wire away to

prevent accidental starting.

2. Check all the bolts and components at frequent

intervals to make sure that they are properly

tightened.

3. Never store a motorized accessory with fuel in the

fuel tank inside a building where ignition sources are

present such as hot water and space heaters,

clothes dryers, and the like. Allow the engine to cool

before storing in any enclosure.

4. Always refer to the owner’s manual when you store

the accessory and vehicle for a prolonged or an

unspecified length of time.

5. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as

necessary.

6 For winter accessories, (if applicable), let the engine

run for a few minutes after clean snow in order to

prevent the rotary parts from freezing.

7. Inspect the vehicle’s and accessory’s air filter (if

applicable) every day. Clean it or replace it as

necessary. Change the oil more often when working

in dusty conditions. See the vehicle’s and

ASSEMBLY

STEP 6

INSTALLATION OF THE CONTROL BOX:

NOTE: Before choosing the ideal place to install the

control support (item 1) and control box, connect the

control box wires to the motors and to the battery (see

instructions below).

Use the joystick to determine which direction activates

which motor.

We suggest putting the control box on the right fender of

the tractor close to the driver’s seat or close to the

steering wheel according to your preference.

Secure the control support with two 1/4 x 3/4" bolts and

flange nuts.

Install the control box on the support.

Determine direction of joystick and position of control

box before installing the support.

Thread the wires on the frame to the front where they

will not be seen and where they won’t touch any hot or

moving parts.

Attach to the vehicle’s frame using the tie wraps.

NOTE: It is recommended to place the wire connectors

as close as possible to the subframe. Secure the wires

in an adequate place in order to separate the accessory

from the vehicle when storing.
