40” SNOWTHROWER
installing Lift Rod
1. See Figure 15. Assemble clevis (A), rod exten-
sion
for electric model only), and nut (C) to lift
rod (D). Turn rod extension and clevis into rod
about halfway. Do not tighten jam nut at this
time.
2. See Figure 15. Install the lift rod assy. (D) to the
electric lift arm assy (E). Secure with pin (F) and
cotter pin (G) supplied with the snowthrower.
the ignition key on. See Figure 15. Activate
the electric lift until the lift rod clevis (A) aligns
with the front hitch bracket. Secure the clevis to
the hitch bracket using the pin (H) and hairpin
clip
supplied with the snowthrower.
4. Adjust
lift height by turning clevis in
or out to achieve desired lift height then tighten
nut against clevis. Average snowthrower lift
height is 6”.
NOTE: Snowthrower lift height affects the amount of
downward pressure applied to the
snowthrower. Lengthening the rod increases
height and decreases
sure while shortening the rod decreases lift
height and increases downward pressure.
Reverse Electric Lift Wiring
The electric lift control switch on dash is used to lift
or lower the mower deck and front attachments on
the tractor. Pushing the top of the switch lowers the
mower/attachments while pushing the bottom of the
switch raises the mower/attachments.
This
snowthrower attachment, when attached to
the existing switch, works in the opposite manner.
For the switch to work properly with this attachment,
it is necessary to reverse the wiring at the electric lift
motor assembly as follows.
1. Locate the two wire leads (A and B, Figure 16) con-
nected to the electric lift assy. You will find them
under the seat deck and in front of the right, rear
wheel.
2. Reverse the position of the two leads in the
wiring harness.
snowthrower will now work properly with the
lift control switch.
NOTE: Change the wires leads back to their original
position when removing snowthrower so
switch operating position is correct for
mower and other attachments.
