before engaging the snowblower.
b) Make sure that the auger and fan operate freely.
c) Start the snowblower engine.
d) Before engaging the snowblower drive, always
have the engine running at medium R.P.M.
e) Operate the snowblower at maximum engine
R.P.M.
IMPORTANT: USE FULL ENGINE R.P.M. WHEN
REMOVING WET, STICKY SNOW. LOW R.P.M.
POWER WILL TEND TO PLUG THE CHUTE.
ELECTRIC CONTROLS
See saddle preparation for identification of the saddle
controls.
RAISING AND LOWERING THE SNOWBLOWER:
Use the winch switch control to raise and lower the
snowblower.
IMPORTANT: To prolong the subframe’s life, release
the switch immediately when the attachment hits the
stopper in the highest position.
TURNING THE CHUTE AND DEFLECTOR:
Use the switches on the saddle to turn the chute and
to raise or lower the deflector.
ENGAGING AND DISENGAGING THE
SNOWBLOWER:
Engage the snowblower when the engine is running
at medium R.P.M. by pulling the P.T.O. switch.
OPERATION
REMOVING SNOW
When removing snow, do not use the snowblower as
a dozer blade to push snow. Allow snowblower to
ingest snow at its own speed. If the speed of your
A.T.V. is too fast, the snowblower may become
overloaded and plug. For best results, raise the
snowblower and remove a top layer of snow. A
second pass with the snowblower will remove the
remaining snow.
WARNING
-Do not attempt to clear plugged chute, auger or
fan of snow while the snowblower's engine is
running.
-Disengage snowblower.
-Lower snowblower onto ground.
-Set the parking brake.
-Stop engine, remove the ignition key, disconnect
the wire from spark plug(s) and keep away from
spark plug(s) to prevent accidental starting.
-Make sure all moving parts have stopped.
-Do not use hand to unplug chute.
-Use a 36’’ (1m) minimum length stick or board.

snowblower on the ground.
-Do not drive faster than 10 km/hr (6 m/hr) with
the snowblower in raised position.
-Do not operate on a slope greater than 10°.
-A.T.V. manufacturer approved tire chains are
required.
-Maximum drawbar pull provided for at the hitch
ball coupling: 3560N (800 lbs)
-Maximum vertical load provided for on the hitch
ball coupling: 360N (80 lbs)
CLEARING A CLOGGED DISCHARGE
CHUTE:
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the
discharge chute is the most common cause of injury
associated with snowblowers. Never use your hand to
clean out the discharge chute.
To clear the chute:
1. Lower snowblower to the ground and set parking
brake.
2. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF & REMOVE KEY!
3. Wait 10 seconds to be sure that all moving parts
such as the impeller blades have stopped moving.
4. Disconnect wire from the spark plug(s) and keep
wire away to prevent accidental starting.
5. Always use a clean-out tool of at least 36” in ( 1 m)
length, NEVER YOUR HANDS.
WARNING
Read the A.T.V.’s owner’s manual carefully. Be
thoroughly familiar with the controls & proper
use of the attachment. Know how to stop the unit
& disengage the controls quickly.
14
OPERATION
MAINTENANCE

1/2" to 5/8" clearance between cutting edge and
surface.
LUBRICATION
Grease the wheel axles, the fork pivots after every
sixteen hours of use.
Apply oil at all pivot points.
Chute Rotation System: Oil chute base, rotation worm
every sixteen hours of operation.
Gear box:
Check the oil annually. If necessary, add AGMA 5 EP or
SAE 90 oil.
The gear box should have a total of 155 ml of oil or filled
to the rim of the bolt hole when installed on the
snowblower.
MAINTENANCE
CUTTING EDGE MAINTENANCE
Verify from time to time the wearing on the cutting
edge to make sure you do not wear out the base of
the snowblower’s chassis. This cutting edge is
reversible.
AUGER AND FAN SHEAR BOLT
REPLACEMENT
*Shear bolts are to be considered a preventive
measure and not an assured protection. Operator
vigilance is required. Thoroughly inspect the areas
where the snowblower is to be used and remove all
foreign objects.
To avoid damage to the snowblower:
Use only the original shear bolts (grooved bolts).
#104000 in bags of 10 for both sections of auger.
#103999 in bags of 10 for the fan.
Reinstall auger in the position shown.
The use of any other shear bolt will not insure any
protection and may void the warranty.
WARNING
TO PREVENT INJURIES:
Stop the snowblower motor.
Apply parking brake.
Remove the ignition key.
Disconnect the wire from the spark plug(s) and
keep away from spark plug(s) to prevent accidental
starting.
SNOWBLOWER PULLEY REPLACEMENT
or ALIGNMENT:
Clean the parts before aligning or replacing the pulley.
Apply some "Loctite" 2760 on the key and the set
screws. Tighten firmly.
