4. Lift Link Adjustment
The adjustable lift link assemblies at each end of
the lift shaft are adjusted at the factory and should
not require readjustment. However if the drive
shaft makes contact with any part of the tractor
when the snow thrower is raised to the transport
position, the lift links should be adjusted as follows:
a. Raise the snow thrower to its fully raised posi-
tion.
b. Loosen the hex insert lock nut at the top of one
adjustable eyebolt link. Refer to Figure 27.
c. Thread the hex nut beneath the lift link up the
eyebolt to lengthen the lift link assembly.
Lengthen the lift link assembly only as needed
to eliminate the drive shaft contact. Retighten
the hex insert lock nut after adjusing. See Fig-
ure 27.
d. Repeat the above procedures to adjust the lift
link assembly on the other side of the snow
thrower to the same length.

B. CONTROLS.
1. The snow thrower controls are conveniently
located at the operator's position on the tractor.
2. The lift handle is used to raise and lower the snow
thrower. To raise the snow thrower, pull back and
down on the lift handle until the lift index rod fully
engages the latch slot of the lift latch bracket. To
lower the snow thrower, push slightly downward
on the lift handle, then pull the trigger. With the
trigger pulled, lower the snow thrower slowly until
it contacts the ground. Refer to Figure 28.

section of the discharge chute pivots downward
when the tilt handle is pushed forward —
decreasing the distance snow is thrown. Pulling
the handle backwards pivots the upper section
upward — increasing the distance snow is thrown.
