INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Disconnect the negative (-) ground battery cable from the battery.
2. Remove the four tapping screws holding the console cover to the console and remove the cover.
3. Remove the nuts from bolts (Ref 8). To hold the bolts you will have to go through the opening in the
console. Remove hardware and bumper brace (Ref 25 and 2).
4. Place the tabs on lift handle (Ref 3) over the bolts (Ref 8) and the angle on the lift handle to the right side
of the machine. Next put bumper brace over the bolts with a washer and a center lock nut. Leave hard-
ware loose at this time. Put Hardware (Ref 25) back through the bumper and bumper brace. Tighten all
four bolts at this time.
5. Replace the console cover.
6. Bolt handle (Ref 23) to lift handle (Ref 3) using bolts, washers and lock nuts (Ref 22).
7. Put hand grip (Ref 24) onto the handle.
8. Assemble pusher bars (Ref 19 and 21) to plow (Ref 13) using hardware (Ref 14 and 15). There are two
holes to bolt hardware (Ref 15) in. Using hole closest to the blade will result in a shallow cut, whereas
using the hole furthest from the blade will result in a deeper cut. The slot on the pusher bar is for a more
fine tuned adjustment.
9. Put pedal pad and pedal pad plate (Ref 9 and 10) into left lift rod (Ref 11) using hardware (Ref 15).
10. Put rod ends (Ref 6) onto lift rods (Ref 11 and 12) with jam nuts (Ref 7) first. Adjust to equal lengths. Bolt
lift rods (the one with the pedal to the left side of the machine) to lift arms with the ball joints to the outside.

” machine bushing between each rod end and lift
arm.
11. Check to make sure level to hard surface after final assembly.
12. Slide plow under machine and connect to machine as shown. Use clevis pin and cotter pin (Ref 20).
13. Connect lift rods (Ref 11 and 12) to pusher bars (Ref 19 and 21) using hardware (Ref 18) as shown. The
three holes in the lift rods are for adjusting the position of the hand lever. The top hole moves the lever
forward and holds the blade with the most clearance. Each hole down moves the lever to the rear of the
machine and decreases blade clearance by approximately one inch.
14. Reconnect the negative (-) ground battery cable to the battery.
