grease fittings located on the three tubes that
support the lift handle pivot. Refer to LUBRI-
CATION of Lift Handle Pivot in Maintenance In-
structions.
14. Adjust the gauge wheels or skid shoes. Refer
to ADJUSTMENTS of Gauge Wheels or Skid
Shoes in Maintenance Instructions.
15. To install the optional tire chains:
a. Remove the tractor wheels.
b. Attach the tire chains to the wheels.
c. Place the wheel spacer plates on the lug
bolts. The wheel spacer plates provide
clearance for the chains between the tires
and the tractor body.
d. Place the wheels back on the tractor.
e. Reinstall and tighten the lug bolts.
16. 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.

17. For stability of the tractor when transporting with
the snowblower raised position, approximately
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.
CAUTION
DO NOT release the lift handle before
releasing the foot trigger or before the
snowblower has reached the DOWN posi-
tion.
