Determine which location on the handle tube works
best for you. Put the 3/4" rubber shim there, then
place the hinged clamp over it, making sure the
hinges are over the rubber shim. (Push hinges
together with fingers, or pliers if necessary.)
NOTE: If you have a 7⁄ 8" handle you will need to wrap
the rubber shim (3-3/4" long) around the handle first
to ensure a proper fit.

Installation
The Light Kit can be mounted on the crossbar of the lower handle or either the upper right or left handle.
NOTE: Be sure that the location you choose allows you enough wiring to reach the alternator plugs on the engine and that the light kit does not
interfere with the operation of the snow thrower.

Mount the “L” bracket and secure the hinged
clamp with a nylon washer, lock washer and
the 10mm bolt.
Mount the light housing assembly to the “L” bracket
using a nylon washer, lock washer and the star
handled bolt
.
Wind the two covered wires around the lower
handle and down to the alternator plugs on the
engine. Secure them with zip ties.
NOTE: On some models, you may have to pivot the
snow thrower forward and reach between the front
of the engine and the auger housing to access the
alternator plug. On single-stage models, it is easiest
to remove the belt cover to access the alternator
plug. Refer to your Operator’s Manual for instructions.
Remove the cap/plug from the alternator socket
(if present) and plug the light wire into the
alternator socket.
NOTE: If your snow thrower is equipped with a
Tecumseh or Briggs & Stratton engine that uses a
single line adapter wire, install the adaptor wire on
the end of the light wire then plug the adapter wire
into the alternator plug.
See Fig. 5
Secure the ground wire to a bolt located on
the engine. Select a bolt that is not securing a
gasket.
NOTE: If the ground wire cannot not reach an engine
screw, a small cut in the casing around the wires
allows the casing to be pulled apart, freeing up more
wire length.
Adjustments
The angle of the light can be changed by tilting the light housing assembly forward or backward
and left or right, or by moving the L-bracket up and down.
If the vibration causes the light kit to move or become loose on the handle, add extra pieces of
rubber between the snow thrower handle and the hinged clamp to absorb the vibration.
If the wires from the light do not reach their connection points, a small cut in the casing around
the wires allows the casing to be pulled apart, freeing up more wire length.
