PREPARATION FOR USE

Connecting to tractor

Make sure the tractor and the snow blower are on level dry ground free from foreign objects.

Move tractor to snow blower slowly making sure no person or pet is between tractor and implement.

Adjust the three point arms to be parallel with the lift pins.

Set the parking brake, remove ignition key before dismounting the tractor.

Attach the three point arms to the lift pins and locks in place with lynch pins provided.

Fasten the top arm of the tractor to the link pin in the hitch weldment.

With the tractor engine shut off, fasten the PTO shaft; both ends of the PTO have a standard 20-spline

end with a spring loaded locking collar. To activate the spring loaded locking collar turn the collar

clockwise, then slide onto the splined shaft. The yoke must lock into the groove of the splined shaft on

the tractor and the gearbox. Always check to see that the yokes are securely attached before each use.

Fasten the safety chains provided with the PTO shaft, allowing sufficient slack for the driveline during

cornering and operations.

NOTE: Due to the many variations in tractor hitches and PTO locations, drivelines may need to be

shortened to ensure proper length.

oPull driveline apart. Attach outer (Female) section to the tractor PTO shaft, making sure they are

secure.

oRaise and lower implement to determine shortest distance between tractor PTO and snow

blower input shaft. Shut down tractor leaving implement in position of shortest distance.

SECURELY BLOCK IMPLEMENT IN POSITION.

oHold driveline sections parallel to each other to determine if it is too long. Each section should

end approximately 3 inches short of reaching universal joint shield on opposite section.

oIf the required driveline length is greater than length of the shaft, move the hitch mounting

locations on the snow blower until the correct position is achieved.

oIf the drive line is still too long measure 3 inches back from universal joint shield and mark

opposite section. Do this for both sections.

oRaise and lower snow blower to determine longest position between tractor PTO and snow

blower input shaft. Shut down tractor and securely block snow blower in position.

oHold the drive line parallel to each other and check for a minimum of 6 inch overlap. If driveline

has been marked for cutting the overlap will be the distance between marks. NOTE: if driveline

is the correct length disregard cutting procedures.

EVEREST MODEL #6120

Page 10 of 24

PREPARATION FOR USE –Continued

oClamp end of driveline in vice. Cut off shield where marked. Using the cut off section of shield as

a guide, cut shaft the same amount. NOTE: when finished cutting, the shield will be shorter than

the shaft. Deburr driveline sections and clean away all chips and filings.

oRepeat cut procedure to other driveline section.

oApply multi-purpose grease to outside of male driveline section. Assemble driveline and install

onto tractor and snow blower. Pull on each driveline section to ensure yokes lock into position.

Make sure driveline shielding is in place and in good condition.

Start the engine, and raise the snowblower slightly.

Adjust the three point hitch arms to level, and center the snow blower behind the tractor.

Adjust the turnbuckle on the top of the three point hitch to level the snow blower from front to back.

SKID SHOES

After attaching the tractor to the snow blower, ensure that the snow blower cutting edge is parallel to the

ground when skid shoes are touching the ground. If not, adjust the skid shoes accordingly.

If the surface is soft / uneven or contains gravel, stones or other material that might be easily picked up

and thrown by the snow blower, then a lower position should be used, thereby increasing the working

clearance between the surface and the cutting edge.

If the surface is hard and smooth like concrete or asphalt, skid shoes should be placed in the highest

position to minimize residual snow following each pass.

Before performing maintenance or adjustments to the skid shoes refer to general safety page 7 of this

manual.

Skid shoes must be adjusted so they contact the ground evenly on both sides. Finer adjusting can be

done using the top link of the 3 point hitch so that the skid shoes have full contact with the surface and

the cutting edge is parallel to the ground.
