Transport Height Adjustment

A WARNING

Always &top the engine and before inspecting snowthrower or making adjustments.

1.Start the tractor engine. Using the tractor lift lever, raise the snowthrower to highest position. There should be a slight clearance between back of hitch and tractor stops. This will prevent the hydraulic pump from working against stops when snowthrower is fully raised.To check, raise up on snowthrower hitch by hand. You should be able to raise up on the hitch one to two inches before upward movement is stopped by tractor.

2.See figure 13. To adjust, loosen the two nuts (A) using a i-1/8” open-end wrench. Using a 15/16” socket, turn the two bolts (B) in or out an equal amount until adjustment is correct. Turning bolts in will raise the snowthrower - turning bolts out will lower snowthrower. Tighten the two nuts (A) when adjust- ment is correct.

3.Make sure that hitch cannot be lifted to a height where the PTO driveshaft can contact the bottom of the tractor hood.
