STEP 2: (SEE FIGURE 32)

Push the lift handle down into the locked position.

Insert the end of the cable wire into the hole in the

lift rod. Place the threaded fitting into the slot in the

lift bracket, with one hex nut above and one hex nut

and the lock washer below the slot. Tighten the nuts,

adjusting them to eliminate slack in the cable wire.

Refer also to the Service and Adjustments section on

page 28 in this manual.

HINT: For easier assembly of the lift release cable, tilt the

snow thrower forward onto the spiral auger.

STEP 3: (SEE FIGURE 33)

Tilt the snow thrower back down to the ground.

Remove the nylon tie which fastens the auger

drive belt to the discharge housing, leaving the belt

assembled around the pulleys.

Remove the nylon tie which fastens the chute crank

rod to the crank rod support tube.

Assemble the crank rod support tube to the bracket on

ATTACHING SNOW THROWER TO TRACTOR

STEP 1:

(SEE FIGURE 22)

Place the snow thrower on a fiat, level surface.

Extend the auger belt out behind the snow thrower,

leaving the belt assembled to the snow thrower pulleys.

Roll the tractor up behind the snow thrower, centering

it between the snow thrower's mounting plates.

Raise the rear of the snow thrower by lifting up on

the lift handle until the notches inthe mounting plates

align with the shoulder bolts in the tractor's side

plates. Guide the bolts into the notches.

Delay installing the clevis pins until you have

assembled the belt as instructed in steps 23 and 24.

= Lift the front of the snow blower to align the holes in

the mounting plates and the side plates. From the left

side of the tractor insert the attachment pin through

the holes. Secure it with by reinstalling the 1/8" hairpin

cotter.

ATTACH REFLECTORS TO REAR FENDER

STEP 1: (SEE FIGURE 26)

= If your tractor is not equipped with rear reflectors,

assemble the supplied rear reflectors to the rear

fender. Place the reflectors as close to the bottom of

the fender and as far apart as the shape of the fender

will allow.

SETTING THE AUGER BELT TENSION

STEP 1: (SEE FIGURE 25)

Pull the tensioning chain until the end of the spring is

pulled through the hole in the side of the Clutch/Idler

assembly. Install a 1/8" hairpin cotter through the end

of the spring, securing it on the outside of the Clutch/

Idler assembly.

IMPORTANT: For correct belt tension, the 1/8" hairpin

cotter should attach to the end of the spring, not to the

chain.

NOTE; To prevent the chain from dragging on the

ground, loop the end of the chain though the pivot lock

pin.

CHECKLIST

Before you operate your snow thrower, please review

the following checklist to help ensure that you will

obtain the best performance from your snow thrower.

= Make sure all assembly instructions have been

completed with all bolts and nuts properly tightened.

= Make sure the correct drive belt was installed.

= Make sure the drive belt and auger belt are routed

properly around pulleys and inside all belt keepers.

= Check discharge chute for proper rotation.

= Check operation of tilt control for upper chute.

= Verify that the lift handle will lock into and release from

the raised transport position. (Refer to the Service and

Adjustments section.)

= Check skid shoe adjustment. (Refer to the Service

and Adjustments section.)

The following additional items are available from

Sears to help enhance the performance of your snow

thrower. See Accessories and Attachments in your

Owner's Manual.

= Tire chains which can be installed to improve traction.

= Rear wheel weights which can be installed in addition

to the rear weight tray to improve traction.

= Snow Cab which can be installed to help protect

against wind and blowing snow.
