ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d.
8. PTO Shield: All snowblowers are supplied with a PTO shield. Bolt the
shield (#74) to the hinges on the top of the gearbox on both the #740 and
#840 snowblowers using ¼” x ½” hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts.
Insert a 3/16" cotter pin in the hole in the shield and in the hole at the
bottom corner of the gearbox. Fold back the cotter pins to hold them in
place. Hook the ends of the spring (#71) into these cotter pins to hold the
shield down. To mount the shield (#74) on the #840G snowblower,
remove the two rear bolts at the top of the gearbox (#63). Bolt the PTO
shield to the gearbox plate using these same bolts. Insert a 3/16" cotter
pin in the hole in the shield and fold to lock in place. Hook one end of the
spring (#71) into this cotter pin and the other end into a hole in the lower
gearbox plate to hold the shield in place. CAUTION: Do not run the
snowblower without this shield in place.
