the engine and before inspecting
snowthrower or making adjustments.
1. Start the tractor engine. Using the tractor lift lever,
raise the snowthrower to highest position. There
should be a slight clearance between back of hitch
and tractor stops. This will prevent the hydraulic
pump from working against stops when snowthrower
is fully raised.To check, raise up on snowthrower hitch
by hand. You should be able to raise up on the hitch
one to two inches before upward movement is
stopped by tractor.
2. See figure 13. To adjust, loosen the two nuts (A)
using a i-1/8” open-end wrench. Using a
15/16”
socket, turn the two bolts (B) in or out an equal
amount until adjustment is correct. Turning bolts in
will raise the snowthrower
-
turning bolts out will lower
snowthrower. Tighten the two nuts (A) when adjust-
ment is correct.
3. Make sure that hitch cannot be lifted to a height
where the PTO driveshaft can contact the bottom of
the tractor hood.
