Simplicity 300 Series manual Lift Variations When Using Attachments, Attaching a Trailer

Lift Variations When Using

Attachments

When a front-mounted attachment such as a snowthrower or dozer blade is used with the tractor, the lift mechanism must be locked to provide downward force. When the mower is reinstalled the downward pressure lock must be released so that the mower can float.

Manual Lift Models

NOTE: These instructions apply to Broadmoor / 300 / 1600 / 2600 Series tractors equipped with a lift lever kit.

The lift link is installed differently depending on what attachment is being used. Refer to Figure 8 for link installation information.
