Snowblower need help setting snowblower

I agree with others, it certainly sounds like it's going backwards. Since the impeller is essentially an axial fan, I find it easiest to tell if it's correct by observing the rotation of it: it should rotate toward the exit hole.

See my fine artwork below.... (no, those aren't smiley faces!:laughing

Hope yopu get it fixed soon- won't be long now!

no bear hunting only starts in april.I was good to go but the snow was a gone by then

just got off the phone with the dealer.He thinks the pto wasn't engaging all the way.
He's going to put it threw its paces today.What ever that means.not enough snow to do that

good news it was in the switch .something about not enough amps going threw to engage all the way. all fixed:thumbsup::thumbsup:I talked to one of my neighbours today which owns a new kbot,same issue.so I quess it doesn't matter what color we own everything has its defects

Hey, glad you got it fixed!

But I'm confused... I always thought a PTO was either "in" or "out," no in-between... how's that work on your set-up? (Just curious, perhaps another chance to learn something!)

they told me the switch was defective and wasn't putting enough power to the relay.I thought the switch controled the hyd valve which engaged the hyd pto

My Yellow MF has a soft start feature on the PTO.

Wet snow doesn't like to blow, so I just let it freeze over night. But then again there are all kind of different scenarios for snow.
