5. CONNECTING THE SNOWBLOWER TO THE TRACTOR

Use extreme caution when connecting the snow blower to the tractor. The snow blower should be securely resting
at ground level. Keep hands and feet out from under the snowblower and clear of pinch points between the tractor
and snowblower.
DANGER!
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the parking
brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement and
Tractor hitches.
5.1 Connecting the SnowBlower to the Tractor
1. Make sure the tractor is equipped with the correct
PTO shaft. Change shafts if needed.
2. Shorten or remove the tractor drawbar to avoid
interference when raising and lowering the snow
blower.
3. Board the tractor and start the engine. Position
the tractor to the snow blower with the 3-point lift
arms positioned between the respective set of snow
blower A-frame lift lugs. Note: Set the 3-point lift
control to "Position Control" so that the lift arms
maintain a constant height when attaching the snow
blower. See the tractor Operator's Manual for
correct settings when attaching 3-point equipment.
4. Turn off the tractor engine and dismount.
5. One lift arm at a time, align arm end hole between
the set of A-frame lift lugs. Insert hitch pin through
the lug and arm holes and insert retaining pin into
hitch pin.
6. Walk around to opposite side and repeat procedure
for remaining lift arm and hitch pin.
7. Extend or retract 3-point top link to align its end
hole with the holes of the snow blowers top link.
Insert the top link hitch pin and insert retaining pin
into hitch pin.
8. Adjust any lower link check chains, guide blocks,
or sway blocks to prevent the snow blowers from
swaying side to side and possible contact with
tractor rear tires.
DANGER!
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park,
and set the parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect
or disconnect the Implement and Tractor hitches.
