tension. Remove the belt from the snowthrower drive
pulley (D, Figure 27).

Normal Installation
1. Install the sub-frame hitch (see hitch installation
instructions).
2. Place the snowthrower in front of the tractor and
secure to the hitch using the hitch pin and clip (D,
Figure 25).
3. Route the drive belt as shown in Figure 27. Note that
the back of the belt rides in the back-side idler (B).
4. With the snowthrower drive belt installed, trunnion (A,
Figure 26) should be between the marks (G) on
spring tension bracket (B) for correct belt tension.
Turn belt tension handle (C) to move trunnion forward
or rearward until between marks.
5. Connect the rear of the lift rod (B, Figure 25) to the lift
arm extension. Use a hair pin clip (C) to secure the
front of the lift rod to the snowthrower.
6. Connect the rotator motor plug (A). Route the har-
ness through the bottom grille grate and along the
frame rail as shown.
7. Install the remote chute deflector control to the
mounting plate and secure with a clevis pin and clip
(F).
8. Fully raise and support the snowthrower with wood
blocks. Install the lift assist spring and bracket (E).
