Lift Variations When Using

Attachments

When a front-mounted attachment such as a snowthrow- er or dozer blade is used with the tractor, the lift mecha- nism 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.

Hydraulic Lift Models

Fully lower the hydraulic lift. The lift assembly is spring loaded so it will need to be held in the down position to perform of the following procedures.

When using a snowthrower or dozer, the downward pressure lock plate (D, Figure 17) and an additional pin

(C)is installed. These parts are included with the attach- ment. Note that the washers (G) are not used with the lock plate.

When mowing, the downward pressure lock plate (D) is removed and replaced with two washers (G). The addi- tional pin (C) is also removed.
