#500 AND #600 SNOWBLOWER ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Mount the discharge spout (#2) using the spout clamp (#3) bolted to the
spout ring on the snowblower. Lubricate the spout ring and clamp.
NOTE: A hydraulic cylinder and hose kit to control the spout deflector is
available as an option.
2. Hitch Assembly: With right and left hitch tubes (#5 & #6) turned as
shown in drawing, slide them into the sleeve welded to the main body.
These tubes are adjustable to four different positions. The correct position
for each individual tractor will be determined when mounting the
snowblower on the tractor. These tubes are connected to the
snowblower with a ¾” x 3 ¼” pin (#11) and a hair pin clip (#12). Bolt the
left (#84) and the right (#85) hitch arms to the outside of the clevises on
the hitch tubes using the lift pins (#9). NOTE: Pins should be turned to
the outside. Do not tighten any hardware until assembly is complete. Join
the top of the hitch arms by bolting a 1” O.D. x 2 ¼” spacer (#4) between
the top plates using a ¾” x 4” bolt and lock nut through the lower outside
holes. Bolt the hitch top bar (#86) between the same plates using the
same bolt through the welded tube on the bar. Use the inside holes on the
top plates for the top bar. The other end of the hitch top bar bolts to the
top of the blower fan housing with a ½” x 1 ¾” hex bolt, lock washer and
hex nut. Use the same hole position as the hitch tubes. Tighten all
hardware.
A category 1 top link pin (#8) is fitted in the top holes of the hitch arm
plates. This pin is used for standard three-point hitch only. The bushing
in the lower holes is used for the Quick Hitch.
3. Hand Crank Assembly: (Standard)
a) Bolt the crank mounting bracket (#16) to the top of the hitch using
3/8" x 1 ¼” hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts.
b) Insert the crank tube (#15) through the mount and through the
bracket welded to the main housing. Lock the crank in place using
a washer and roll pin on each side of the bracket.
c) Thread the cable (#17) through the hole in the crank tube to even
lengths and wrap around the tube to each side of the hole four
turns in opposite directions.
d) With the spout turned forward, fasten the cable to the bracket
welded to the bottom of the spout using a ¼” cable clamp (#70).
