Assembly - 740, 840 & 840G Snowblower
8. PTO Shield:
- All snowblowers are supplied with a PTO shield. Bolt the shield (#74) to the hinges on the
top of the gearbox on both the 740 and 840 snowblowers using 1/4" x 1/2" hex bolts, lock
washers and hex nuts. Insert a 3/16" cotter pin in the hole in the shield and in the hole at
the bottom corner of the gearbox. Fold back the cotter pins to hold them in place. Hook
the ends of the spring (#71) into these cotter pins to hold the shield down. To mount the
shield (#74) on the 840G snowblower, remove the two rear bolts at the top of the gearbox
(#63). Bolt the PTO shield to the gearbox plate using these same bolts. Insert a 3/16" cotter
pin in the hole in the shield and fold to lock in place. Hook one end of the spring (#71) into
this cotter pin and the other end into a hole in the lower gearbox plate to hold the shield in
place.
CAUTION
Do not run the snowblower without this shield in place.
