• Coat the top of the ring around the discharge opening
with general purpose grease.
• Place the discharge chute (facing forward) onto the
ring. Place the anti-rotation bracket on top of the chute
flange, aligning it with the holes on the right hand side
of the flange. Attach the three chute keepers (right
side up as shown) to the bottom of the flange using
six 1/4" x 1" hex bolts, 1/4" flat washers and 1/4"
flanged lock nuts.
Tighten carefully
so that the nuts
are snug but do not dig into the plastic chute keepers.
• Place the plastic cap onto the short end of the anti-
rotation bracket.
• Position the crank rod spiral (see figure 24 on page
14) so that it does not rub against the bottoms of the
notches in the chute flange.
Tighten
the nuts.
• Check if the crank rod rotates the chute freely. If not,
loosen by 1/4 turn each of the six hex bolts holding
the chute keepers to the chute flange.
• Secure the control cables to the crank rod support
tube using two nylon ties.

• Place the snow thrower on a flat, level surface.
• Extend the auger belt out behind the snow thrower,
leaving the belt assembled to the snow thrower pulleys.
• Roll the tractor up behind the snow thrower, centering
it between the snow thrower's mounting plates.
• Lift up on the crank rod support tube to raise the
rear of the snow thrower and align the notches in the
mounting plates align with the shoulder bolts in the
tractor's side plates. Roll the tractor forward, guiding
the shoulder bolts into the notches.
• Install the two 1/2" x 7/8" clevis pins and 1/8" hairpin
cotters to secure the snow thrower to the tractor.
