SNOWTHROWER INSTALLATION

CAUTION
After snowthrower installation if the tractor hood is
opened, it will come into contact with the
snowthrower. To protect the hood finish cover the
discharge chute with a towel or blanket.
1. See Figure 36. Align snowthrower bracket (E) with
front tractor hitch arms (B). Lift snowthrower so that
spacers (A) rest on hitch arms (B).
2. Before attaching snowthrower bracket to the hitch,
install the belt from the hitch idler pulley (B, Figure
37) to the snowthrower pulley as shown in Figure 37.
Do not attempt to install belt on electric clutch pulley
at this time.
3. See Figure 36. Attach snowthrower bracket (C) to
hitch using clevis pins (C) and safety clips (D).
PTO Belt Installation and Trunion
Adjustment
1. See Figure 38. To install belt on the electric clutch
pulley, the trunion (A) on the tension spring assembly
(B) must be fully forward. If it is not, turn handle (C) to
move it forward. Install the belt on electric clutch pul-
ley. Refer to Figure 37 for belt routing.
2. See Figure 38. Turn handle (C) so that trunion (A) is
centered between the marks as shown.
NOTE: If trunion cannot be centered between marks,
loosen capscrew (D, Figure 38) and reposition pulley
(E) rearward. Retighten capscrew (D) and center trunion.
