Assembly and Installation SB2040 Snowblower
Adjust Counterbalance Springs
1.
Tighten the adjustment nut on each
75
mm
(3.0
inches)
counterbalance spring bolt
so
the exposed thread
length is 75 mm (3.0 inches).
2.
Lift the subframe and remove the block of wood or
support.
After the counterbalance springs have been
adjusted, they are under tension. Do not remove
the lockout pin until the entire snowblower is fully
installed on the lawn tractor.
The effort required to raise and lower the blower
head can be adjusted by varying the length of
exposed thread on the spring bolts. See the
Maintenance
section for details.
