Routing the Lower Drive Belt
Figure 11
1.
Attach and route the lower drive belt around the lower pulley on the spindle assembly, both pulleys on the
double-idler bracket found beneath the undercarriage, and the drive pulley found on the rear of the snow
thrower housing as illustrated in Figure 11.
2.
Attach the tension spring (found on the undercarriage double-idler bracket) to the hex screw as shown in Figure
11 if it’s not already attached.
Attaching the Reflectors
Peel off the backing from each of the reflectors to expose the adhesive surface. Adhere the reflectors to the rear of
the tractor’s fender (one on the left and one on the right) so that the reflectors simulate taillights.
SECTION 7: CONTROLS
Engaging the Augers and Impeller
Power to the snow thrower attachment is activated by
engaging the tractor’s PTO.
•
Move the tractor’s throttle lever into the FAST
(rabbit) position and allow it to remain there for the
most efficient use of the snow thrower attachment.
•
Move the PTO knob (on tractor’s equipped with an
electric PTO) or PTO lever (on tractor’s equipped
with a manual PTO) into the “ON” position to
engage the augers and impeller.
•
Move the PTO knob (on tractor’s equipped with an
electric PTO) or PTO lever (on tractor’s equipped
with a manual PTO) into the “OFF” position to
disengage the augers and impeller.
NOTE:
The PTO knob (on units equipped with an
electric PTO) cannot be in the engaged (ON) position
when the tractor is driving in the reverse direction. The
PTO knob must be in the disengaged (OFF) position
when the shift lever is placed in REVERSE or the
electric PTO clutch will automatically shut off.
NOTE:
The PTO lever (on units equipped with a
manual PTO) cannot be in the engaged (ON) position
when the tractor is driving in the reverse direction. The
PTO lever must be in the disengaged (OFF) position
when the shift lever is placed in REVERSE or the
tractor’s engine will automatically shut off.
Refer to your tractor’s Operator’s Manual for more
information regarding your tractor’s PTO and safety
interlock system.
