Connecting the Lift Rod
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Add two 1 in (25 mm) washers onto the end of the lift
rod assembly, then slide it into the lift tube (Fig. 16).
Important
The washers (Fig. 16) adjust how low the
snowthrower can drop below grade. If the snowthrower
drops too low, the drive belt can lose tension and slip. Add
washers, as needed, to prevent this problem.

securely so that the scraper is 1 to 2 in. off the ground.

to the middle hole in the attachment lift plate with the
1/2 x 1 in. (25 mm) clevis pin and clip (Fig. 17).
Note: The lift plate goes between the lift rod assembly
plates.

Installing the Belt to the Engine PTO
Pulley
1. Open the hood of the tractor
2. Remove the right-hand side panel.
Caution
Components under the hood will be hot if the
tractor has been running. If you touch hot
components you may be burned.
Allow the tractor to cool before performing
maintenance or touching components under the
hood.
3. Route the snowthrower belt around the engine PTO
pulley (Fig. 18).
Note: Lifting up on the spring-loaded pulley will ease
installation of the belt.
