Connecting The Snow Blower To The Tractor; Connecting The Snow Blower A-Frame To The Tractor - Schulte SDX-117 Operator's Manual

6. CONNECTING THE SNOW BLOWER TO THE TRACTOR

Use extreme caution when connecting the snow blower to the tractor. The snow blower should be securely
resting at ground level with the parking jack foot. Keep hands and feet out from under the snowblower and
clear of pinch points between the tractor and snow blower.
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.

6.1 Connecting the Snow Blower A-Frame 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
implement.
3. Board the tractor and start the engine. Position
the tractor to the snow blower with the 3-point
lift arms positioned to attach to the snow
blower lower link pins. 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, attach the tractor lower
link arms to the snow blower lower link pins.
Then install lynch pins in the ends of the lower
link pins.
6. 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 lynch
pin into hitch pin to hold the upper top link.
7. Check that the snow blower is level side to
side. Adjust tractor lift link if necessary.
8. Adjust any lower link check chains, guide
blocks, or sway blocks to prevent the snow
blower from swaying side to side and possible contact with tractor rear tires.
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.
9. Adjust the chute crank handle in or out to suit your particular tractor then reinsert the 5/16 x 2 cotter pin
through the crank handle and sleeve. Spread the ends of the cotter pins.
Carefully raise and lower the snow blower and check for any possible interference between
the snow blower and tractor. Turn discharge chute full right. Make adjustments if necessary.
