Installation of the Snowblower with a Three Point Hitch
(Figures 8-9)
CATEGORY 1
(Figure 8)
1. Attach the lower hitches (item 1) by inserting
the Ø7/8" Cat. 1 pins (item 2) in the middle
holes of the lower hitches as shown and
secure with 7/16" linchpins (item 3).
2. Attach the upper hitch (item 4) between the
upper plates (item 6) with the 5 7/16" lg. cat. 1
pin and a 7/16" linchpin (item 5).
3. Level the snowblower with the upper hitch
(item 4) so that it runs parallel to the ground.
4. Set the tractor anti-sway turnbuckles so the
snowblower does not sway. Be sure the
turnbuckles clear the tractor tires.
IMPORTANT
: Before connecting the
snowblower driveline to the tractor drive shaft,
make sure the driveline is not too long in
raised, lowered or middle position. If the
driveline is too long it must be shortened, to
avoid damaged to the tractor. See procedure
on pages 20 to 22.
