•Assemble the top tubes to the upright tubes using two 1/4" x 1-1/2" hex bolts (from outside) and two 1/4" hex lock nuts (inside). Do not tighten yet. See figure 6.

•Fit the front U-tube onto the top tubes. Fasten the tubes together using two 1/4" x 1-1/2" hex bolts (on outside) and two 1/4" hex lock nuts (on inside). Tighten all loose bolts. See figure 6.

•Fit the three support rods into the holes in the top tubes, with the rods arching upward. Do not over bend the rods when installing. See figure 6.

1/4" x 1-1/2" SUPPORT ROD

FIGURE 6

Insert the ends of the front brace rod into the holes in the U-tube and then swing the bottom of the rod down to rest on top of the dash panel. On newer "GT" tractors, use the holes at each end of the U-tube. On older "GT" tractors and on "LT" tractors, the alternate holes in the front section of the U-tube may provide the best fit. See figure 7.

FRONT BRACE ROD

FIGURE 7

Raise the tractor's hood. Place the snow cab canopy onto the tubing frame, draping the front flap down in front of the tractor's dash panel. Lower the hood, trapping the front flap under the hood. Secure the sides of the canopy by fastening the elastic hooks to the bottom edge of the footrest and fender. Any levers or handles on snowthrowers or snow blades should be located outside of the cab. See figure 8.
