INSTALLATION
Tractor Preparation
1. Increase the front tire pressure to 20 PSI for use with
snowthrower.
2. On tractors with Kohler Magnum engines, loosen the
air cleaner cover wing nut, pull intake hose out of
plenum hole and rotate cover slightly. For winter
operation only, this allows warmer air to be taken in
through the air cleaner. This is not necessary for
Kohler Command engines.
Flow Reduction Washer
A washer is provided which must be added to the hydrau-
lic valve. The purpose of the washer is to increase travel
time when the snowthrower is lowered. This washer has
an
i/2’
O.D. and a hole in the middle slightly smaller than
i/16” I.D.
1. Remove the upper left-hand panel from the tractor to
expose the valve (A, figure 1).
2. Notice there are two elbows on the side. Disconnect
the hose (B) from the front elbow (C).
Remove the
elbow.
3. Place the washer so it is fully seated inthe hole.
4: Reinstall the elbow (C) and then connect the hose (B).
Tighten the nut securely after elbow is properly
positioned.
Note: Flow reduction washer can be left installed in
hydraulic valve for
use
with mower and other
attachments.
