SNOWTHROWER INSTALLATION

1. See Figure 19. Align snowthrower bracket (D) with
front tractor hitch arms (B). Lift snowthrower so that
up-stop brackets (E) rest on hitch arms (B).
2. Before attaching snowthrower bracket to the hitch,
install the belt from the hitch idler pulley (B, Figure
20) to the snowthrower pulley as shown in Figure 20.
Do not attempt to install the belt on electric clutch pul-
ley at this time.
3. See Figure 19. Attach snowthrower bracket (D) to
hitch using clevis pins (B) and safety clips (A).
PTO Belt Installation and Trunion
Adjustment.
1. See Figure 21. To install the belt on the electric
clutch pulley, the trunion (A) on the tension spring
assembly (B) must be fully forward. Turn the handle
(C) to move the trunion forward and slacken the belt.
If the belt is still too tight, loosen the capscrew (D)
and slide the pulley (E) forward to further slacken the
belt. Install belt on electric clutch pulley. Refer to
Figure 20 for belt routing.
2. See Figure 21. Re-tighten the pulley (E) and cap-
screw (D) if they were loosened. Turn the handle (C)
so that the trunion (A) is centered between the marks
as shown.
NOTE: If trunion cannot be centered between marks,
loosen the trunion (A), loosen the capscrew (D) and
reposition the pulley (E) further rearward. Re-tighten cap-
screw (D) and center the trunion.
