5. Remove the two socket hd. screws from the split
locking collar assembly (6) and install the collar

B. INSTALLATION.
NOTE
If the Hydraulic Angling Kit (190-288-100) is
installed on the front hitch, accidental
actuation of the angling system could result
in damage to the snow thrower and/or
tractor. Whenever the snow thrower is
installed, it is recommended that the angling
cylinder be removed and replaced by either the
standard front hitch strut (See Figure 8) or the
manual angling kit (190-171), set in the center
position. The following step 1 applies ONLY to
units equipped with the hydraulic angling kit.
1. Remove the angling cylinder as follows:
a. Compress the locking collars of the female
fittings to disconnect the angling cylinder
hoses from the coupling assemblies on the left
side of the tractor.
b. Remove the hoses from the hose support rod.
c. Remove the internal cotter pins and clevis pins
fastening the angling cylinder to the pivot plate
and the front hitch yoke.
d. Install the front hitch strut (or manual angler-
set in center position) with the clevis pins and
internal cotter pins. Refer to the Angling Kit
Operator’s Manual if necessary.
2. Cut the cable tie holding the two halves of the drive
shaft together and slide the male half from the
female half (See Figure 7).
3. Pivot the female half shaft to the right and place in
the slot in the right side of the shaft cover (See
Figure 7).

4. Make certain the support pins at the bottom of the
front hitch yoke are in the engaged position
(through holes in yoke). See Figure 8.
