STORAGE

STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS

•Clean the snow thrower thoroughly. Wash off any salt deposit which may have dried on the thrower and housing.

•Any bare metal that has become exposed should be painted or coated with a light oil to prevent rust.

•Lubricate all pivot and wear areas.

•Store in a dry area protected from weather.

REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS

•Lower the snow thrower to the ground.

•Unplug the actuator.

•Unplug the tethered safety switch from the wire harness of the control box switch.

•Remove the clevis pins from the strut mount assemblies attached to the bottom of the ATV's front A arms and remove the stabilizer assembly from the ATV. (Refer to figure 9 on page 7.)

•Remove the 3/4" x 7-1/2" hex bolt from the rear hitch of the ATV to complete removal of the snow thrower.

PARTS TO REMOVE AT END OF SEASON

•Remove the A-arm brackets from the suspension of the ATV, especially before using your ATV for off- roading, trail riding or other activities hard on the suspension. See the owners manual of your ATV for more information.
