14. For GHS (Grass Handling System) equipped
Walker tractors, install a blower intake cover in
the blower intake tube. The cover “unloads” the
blower and seals the intake to effectively elimi-
nate power loss and noise when the blower is
not being used. Refer to GHS Blower Intake
Cover illustration for ROTARY BROOM in this
section.
15. For stability of the tractor when transporting with
the snowblower in raised position, approximate-
ly 80 lb (36 kg) of counterweight should be in-
stalled on the tail of the tractor. Optional tail
weights for the various tractor models are avail-
able from your Walker dealer or a sandbag or
similar weight may be used.
