Adjust Counterbalance Springs
1. Tighten the adjustment nut on each
counterbalance spring bolt so the exposed thread
length is 75 mm (3.0 inches).
2. Lift the subframe and remove the block of wood or
support.
After the counterbalance springs have been
adjusted, they are under tension. Do not remove
the lockout pin until the entire snowblower is fully
installed on the lawn tractor.
The effort required to raise and lower the blower
head can be adjusted by varying the length of
exposed thread on the spring bolts. See the
Maintenance section for details.
Install Lift Plates
1. Install a 3/16" roll pin into one hole on the
5/8 x 13-1 1/16" rod. Install one lift plate and
metal bushing on the rod and slide them
against the roll pin.
2. Insert the other end of the rod through the
holes in the subframe as shown. Install the
other metal bushing and lift plate, then a
4 x 80 mm spring clip.
The remaining holes on each lift plate will
attach to the two lifting arms on the lawn
tractor when the snowblower is installed.
