Page 16

INSTALLING THE ATTACHMENT PIN

•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 install the attachment pin through the holes, securing it with the 1/8" hairpin cotter. Refer back to figure 29 on page 15.

SETTING THE AUGER BELT TENSION

•Pull the tensioning chain until the end of the spring is pulled through the hole in the side of the Clutch/ Idler assembly. Install the 1/8" hairpin cotter through the end of the spring, securing it on the outside of the Clutch/Idler assembly. See figure 32.

IMPORTANT: For correct belt tension, the 1/8" hairpin cotter must attach to the end of the spring, not to the chain.

Hold this drawing above you while viewing the Clutch/Idler Assembly from underneath the tractor. Right and left in the drawing will be the reverse of the viewer's right and left.
