Adjustment
Lift Rod Adjustment
MANUAL LIFT MODELS
The lift lever can be placed in one of three notches and
is held in position by the lever latch. (see Figure 8).
When the lever latch is placed in notch 1 the lift lever
should be applying downward pressure on the
snowthrower. In position 2, the “float” position, the
snowthrower/plow should experience negligible upward
or downward pressure. Position 3 should raise the
snowthrower approximately 3 to 3-1/2 “ above the
ground.
CAUTION
Do not over-compress the lift rod spring. In addition
to providing downward pressure, the spring is an
elastic medium that absorbs shocks caused by
bumps and cracks in ground surfaces. Over-com-
pressing the spring defeats this and could cause
damage to the unit.

Troubleshooting
Locate the problem you’ve encountered in the chart below. Check the possible causes one at a time in the order list-
ed. Correct any problems that are found and operate the snowthrower to see if you have eliminated the problem.
WARNING
To avoid serious injury, perform maintenance on the tractor or snowthrower only when the engine is
stopped, parking brake is set, and all moving parts have stopped. Always remove the ignition key before
beginning maintenance or adjustments to prevent accidental starting of the engine.
PROBLEM CAUSE/SOLUTION
1. Snowthrower auger does not rotate. A. Electric clutch not engaged. Engage electric clutch.
B. Foreign material is blocking auger. STOP engine. Remove key.
Unplug auger with piece of wood. Read WARNING on page 4.
C. Snowthrower drive belt slipping. Adjust drive belt tension.
D. Drive chain broken. Replace parts as required.
2. Auger does not stop when electric clutch is A. Electric clutch brake not operating properly. See your local

7. Tractor not stable on sloping surfaces. A. Ground speed too fast. Reduce speed.
B. Tractor not properly weighted. See Recommended
Accessories, page 1.
C. Tire pressure incorrect. Front tires should be inflated to 20 psi
(138 kPa) for snowthrower use.

SNOWTHROWER ASSEMBLY
Assemble Support Arm and Control Rod
1. See Figure 9. Attach the support arm (E) to the
frame with the 1" capscrews and locknuts (F) sup-
plied.
2. See Figure 9. Place the the thin, plastic liner (B)
inside the rod guide (C). Place the rod guide (C) over
the discharge chute control rod (H) and loosely
attach the guide to the support arm (E) in either of
the top two mounting holes. Use the capscrew and
locknut (J) and spacer (K) provided.

capscrew are used to set the control rod rotation
resistance.
Assemble Discharge Chute & Control Cable
1. See Figure 9. Install the discharge chute (A) so the
clip (G) on the housing is positioned in the notch (I).
Lubricate the discharge chute so it turns freely.
2. See Figure 10. With the discharge chute facing
slightly left, wind the cable around the control rod
spool. Wind it three turns on the rear part of the
spool so that the cable leaves the spool on the lower
edge as shown. Wind two turns on the front part of
the spool so the cable leaves the spool on the upper
edge as shown.
3. See Figure 10. Place the looped end of the cable
over the stud on the discharge chute. Place the small
flat washer (E) provided on the stud. Pull the other
end of the cable around the stud using locking pliers.
While holding the cable tight, install the cup washer
(B) (cup facing inward), lockwasher (C) and nut (D).

HITCH INSTALLATION
NOTE: If your tractor is not equipped with the Large Lift
Lever, part no.1692623, install it at this time. Follow the
instructions supplied with the kit (a copy of the instruc-
tion sheet can be found in the back of this manual). The
rear hitch bracket, washers, and hairpin clips (B, C, D, D
Figure 17) need to be installed with the left lever kit. The
pivot bar of the lift lever kit goes through the rear hitch
bracket and washers.
