INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Disconnect the negative (-) ground battery cable from the battery.
2. Remove the four tapping screws holding the console cover to the console and remove the cover.
3. Remove the nuts from (Ref# 8)Bolts. To hold the bolts you will have to go through the opening in the
console. Remove (Ref# 25 and 2)Hardware and Bumper Brace.
4. Place the tabs on (Ref# 3)Lift Handle over the (Ref# 8)Bolts and the angle on the Lift Handle to the right
side of the machine. Next put Bumper Brace over the bolts with a washer and a center lock nut. Leave
hardware loose at this time. Put (Ref# 25)Hardware back through the bumper and bumper brace. Tighten
all four bolts at this time.
5. Replace the Console Cover.
6. Bolt (Ref# 23 )Handle to (Ref# 3)Lift Handle using (Ref# 22)Bolts, Washers and Lock Nuts.
7. Put (Ref# 24)Hand Grip onto the handle.
8. Assemble (Ref# 19 & 21)Pusher Bars to (Ref# 13)Plow using (Ref# 14 & 15)Hardware. There are two
holes to bolt (Ref# 15)Hardware in. Using hole closest to the blade will result in a shallow cut, whereas
using the hole furthest from the blade will result in a deeper cut. The slot on the pusher bar is for a more
fine tuned adjustment.
9. Put (Ref# 9 & 10)Pedal Pad and Pedal Pad Plate into (Ref# 11)Left Lift Rod using (Ref# 15)Hardware.
10. Put (Ref# 6)Rod Ends onto (Ref# 11 & 12)Lift Rods with (Ref# 7)Jam Nuts first. Adjust to equal lengths.
Bolt Lift Rods (the one with the pedal to the left side of the machine) to lift arms with the ball joints to the
outside. Bolt from the outside with (Ref# 4)Hardware with 3

” machine bushing between each rod end
and lift arm.
11. Check to make sure level to hard surface after final assembly.
12. Slide plow under machine and connect to machine as shown. Use (Ref# 20)Clevis Pin and Cotter Pin.
13. Connect (Ref# 11 & 12)Lift Rods to (Ref# 19 & 21)Pusher Bars using (Ref# 18)Hardware as shown. The
three holes in the lift rods are for adjusting the position of the hand lever. The top hole moves the lever
forward and holds the blade with the most clearance. Each hole down moves the lever to the rear of the
machine and decreases blade clearance by approximately one inch.
14. Reconnect the negative (-) ground battery cable to the battery.
