Installing the Snowthrower
The snowthrower adds a lot of weight to the front
of the tractor, causing poor traction and an
unstable condition which could result in a loss of
control.
Install the 100lb rear wheel weights (sold
separately).
Caution
1. Position the snowthrower on a flat surface with the
frame and lift tube extending rearward (Fig. 10).
