The two horizontal mounting bars [1] mount
to the handlebars of your machine with a
U-clamp system designed to fit a variety of
different machines.
The bars must be mounted on your machine
in a way that will not interfere with its
operation, controls, lights or moving parts.
The preferred mounting location for the
horizontal mounting bars is on the front (motor
side) of the handlebars. However you may
need to mount one or both bars on the back
of the handlebar.
Please see the following page for diagrams
of other mounting options.
Find the four 3/4" U-Clamps [4J] and put
one clamp on each end of the two horizontal
mounting bars [1].
Now test the larger U-clamps [4AA, 4BB, 4CC
or 4DD] to see what clamp fits snugly around
the handlebars of your snow thrower.
Determine where the lower mounting bar
should be on your machine (you will install the
upper one later). It should be placed on the
handlebars a minimum of 17" and a maximum
of 24" from the ground (as measured from the
center of the holes in the
bar end). This will allow
headroom of at least 6.5'
in the peak of the cab
roof.
Using 5/16" x 2-3/4" [D]
or 3-1/4" [E] bolts, bolt the
horizontal mounting bar
U-clamps to the handlebar
U-clamps as shown above.
Thread a lock nut [F] on
the bolt ends just enough to hold the parts
in place.
The lock nuts have a vibration resistant
lining and will be stiff to put on. There is
nothing wrong with the threading.
Level the horizontal mounting bar and
center it over the handlebars then
SNUG DOWN ALL OF THE BOLTS.
NOTE: On some snow throwers the entire
cab must be offset to one side to clear the
machine controls. You can offset the cab or
increase the headroom later by moving the
mounting bars to one side or raising them
higher on the handlebars.
