The Hydraulic Chute Rotator uses a hydraulic motor, controlled by the tractor hydraulics to ro-
tate the chute. The kit includes a safety shield, 2 pcs 1/2-20 UNF bolts, hydraulic fi ttings, hoses
and tractor couplings.
When installing the hydraulic elbows, turn them in “no more than 4 rounds” then tighten the
jam-nut to secure the elbow in the direction that you want the hoses to go as shown.
The relief valves are factory preset at 900 PSI.
Route the hoses and tie them to the top “A” frame support, away from moving parts, Ensure that
the hoses do not get too tight or rub on the frame when the blower is raised or lowered.
Set the motor with the bracket on top of the Chute Plate and then place the shield on top of the
motor bracket and secure with 1/2-20 UNF bolts Please ensure that the gear does not jam or
bind during the rotation of the chute. The bolt holes are slightly oversize, allowing you to adjust
the clearance somewhat. You should be able to move the chute back and forth slightly.
Route and secure hoses so they do not come in contact with rotating chute, PTO or get pinched
in 3ph when using snowblower.
