SET-UP ASSEMBLY
Push Frame Assembly
IMPORTANT: Before starting this procedure, make
sure the area where the assembly will occur is flat and
level. This will help ensure proper frame fit when
mounting to the tractor.
1. Attach the front of the two push arms to the
snowblower head with 1/2" x 3-
1/2” NC bolts, nuts,
and lock washers. For the 725FM, the push arm
should be rotated so the cylinder pin bracket is as
shown in
Figure A . Do not tighten these bolts
until the frame is completely assembled.
IMPORTANT:
The two bolts on the top and
bottom of the push arm should fit snug with the
push arm to eliminate any free movement. Check
to make sure these bolts are installed in the
correct matching pair of holes.
NOTE: There are 6 positions available to use,
depending on the finished frame height. The
higher the frame ground clearance, the steeper
the angle of the push arms. This can be
readjusted after the frame is mounted.
2. Connect the pivoting end of the push arms to the
front push frame using two 3/4” x 3-1/2” NC bolts
and lock nuts.
IMPORTANT: Tighten the lock nuts on the bolts
only enough to prevent the bolts from sliding in the
bolt holes. The push arms must be allowed to
pivot.
3. Attach the rod end of the hydraulic cylinders to the
lift arms using the pins provided. Secure with
cotter pins.
