4. Install the winch hook into the winch anchor bracket (F).
The winch hook must be facing upwards so that the latch
bar (G) closes on top of the winch anchor bracket.
5. Inspect the handle for the winch (C, Figure 41) and the
angle of the strap to the hopper to make sure that the
winch quick mount is mounted at the correct height on
the roll bar. The winch quick mount must be mounted
just high enough that the winch's handle clears the fuel
tank of the machine and the winch quick mount cannot be
mounted so high that the strap causes the pivot pins of
the mount tube to pull out of the hopper mount.
6. Place the winch lock lever in the upright position (B) and
rotate the handle clockwise. This will pull the hopper up
into position.
7. Connect the hopper assembly to the hopper mounting
using two (2) hitch pins (H, Figure 40).
8. Place the winch lock lever in the down position (D, Figure
41) and rotate the handle counter-clockwise. This will
release the tension on the winch so you can disconnect
the winch book from the winch anchor bracket.
9. Remove the winch and mount assembly from the tube of
the winch quick mount.
Adjust the Dump Handle Position
The position of the dump handle (A, Figure 42) can be
adjusted to increase or decrease how far it is away from the
operator while they are sitting in the operator's seat of the
zero-turn riding mower.

1. Position the dump handle to the desired distance from the
operator's seat and tighten the three (3) bolts, washers,
and nuts (B) that control the handle positioning.
Adjust the Latch Bar Assemblies
1. With the hopper in the closed (collecting) position inspect
the latch bar assemblies (A, Figure 43) to make sure
that the mount bar pin (B) is at the back of the slot and
that the gate latch assembly (C) is fully engaged. If this
condition is not met, continue with the steps below.

2. Loosen the latch bar assemblies jam nut (D).
3. Remove the hardware that secures the latch bar
assemblies to the gate latch assembly (E).
4. Turn the ball joint (F) to adjust.
5. Once the length is adjusted so that the mount bar pin is
at the back of the slot and the gate latch assembly is fully
engaged, re-install the latch bar assemblies to the gate
latch assembly and secure in place using the hardware
removed in step #3.
6. Tighten the latch bar assemblies jam nut against the ball
joint.
Adjust the Dump Handle Linkage Rods
1. With the hopper dump handle in the CLOSED (collecting)
position (A, Figure 44). The latch (A, Figure 45) should
rest on the locking pin (B) as shown in inset 1, Figure 45.

2. While holding the hopper in the upright position, raise
the hopper dump handle and move it away from the
operator's position to the OPEN (dumping) position
