Coat the top of the ring around the discharge opening with general purpose grease. See fi gure 19.

Place the discharge chute (facing forward) onto the discharge opening, aligning the crank rod spiral with the notches in the chute fl ange.

Attach the three chute keepers (right side up as shown in fi gure 19) and the anti-rotation bracket to the bottom of the chute fl ange. Use six 1/4" x 1" hex bolts, 1/4" fl at washers and 1/4" fl anged lock nuts. Tighten carefully so that the plastic parts are not deformed. See fi gure 19.

Place the plastic grip onto the back end of the anti- rotation bracket. See fi gure 19.

Position the chute crank assembly so that the crank rod spiral does not rub the bottoms of the notches in the chute fl ange and then tighten the nuts left loose in fi gure 19.

Check if the crank rod rotates the chute freely. If not, loosen by 1/4 turn each the six fl anged nuts holding the chute keepers to the chute fl ange.

MOUNTING SNOW THROWER TO TRACTOR

NOTE: The help of another person may be required to mount the snow thrower to the front of the tractor.

Place the tractor and snow thrower on a fl at, level surface.

Remove the plastic tie from the auger belt and extend the belt out behind the snow thrower, making sure the belt remains assembled around the top of the large auger drive pulley and passing underneath the two side idler pulleys.

Align the tractor behind the snow thrower.

Remove the attachment pin from the snow thrower.

Squeeze the release trigger on the lift handle and raise the handle out of the locked position. (If the handle will not release out of the locked position, refer to the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.)

Grasp the round bar just behind the auger drive pulley and lift up to align the rear mounting notches on the snow thrower with the mounting pins on the tractor. Slide the pins into the notches.

HINT: If you are unable to fi t the mounting pins into the notches, try placing 1" or 2" blocks of wood under the front skid shoes on the snow thrower.

Assemble a 3/4" washer and a 1/8" hairpin clip to each mounting pin.

Secure the snow thrower to the tractor using the attachment pin and 1/8" hairpin clip. Insert the attachment pin from the left side. See fi gure 20.
