Snowthrower Installation
SNOWTHROWER INSTALLATION
1. Install the lift arm extension if not already done (see
Install Attachment Lift Extension under INITIAL
ASSEMBLY for instructions).
2. Fully lower the attachment lift.
3. Attach the snowthrower to the tractor by resting the
snowthrower pins (A, Figure 26) on the front attach-
ment hooks (C).
4. Install the four 5/8 x 1-5/8” flat head clevis pins (B,
Figure 26) and secure with safety clips.
5. See Figure 25. Attach the snowthrower lift rod (B) to
the hitch lift arm (E) using a 1/2 x 2” flat head clevis
pin and safety clip.
6. Grease and attach the drive shaft. Pull back on the
locking collar (A, Figure 27) and slide the drive shaft
fully onto the tractor PTO. Release the locking collar
and pull back on the drive shaft until the locking collar
locks onto the shaft.
NOTE: At this point during initial installation tighten the
capscrews (C, Figure 15) securing the rear hitch mount-
ing brackets. This is only necessary when installing the
attachment for the first time.
7. Route the electric chute rotator wire harness and
deflector control cable through the support arm (B,
Figure 31) and connect to the tractor attachment plug
(see Figure 28).
8. Insert the deflector control handle (B, Figure 29) into
the mounting bracket (C) and secure the handle (B)
using a clevis pin (A) and hair pin clip (D).
NOTE: If the mounting plate has not been installed, see
Drill Remote Deflector Control Mounting Holes at the
back of this manual.
8. Secure the deflector control cable and electric chute
rotator wire to the support arm (B, Figure 29 with a
plastic wire tie.
