NOTE: The pin in the innermost position is used
to prevent the female hitch on the broom from
being pulled up by the brush ground contact
adjustment spring, thus facilitating mounting and
dismounting of the broom.

hairpins prior to operation.
9. To install the optional tire chains:
a. Remove the tractor wheels.
b. Attach the tire chains to the wheels.
c. Place the wheel spacer plates on the lug
bolts. The wheel spacer plates provide
clearance for the chains between the tires
and the tractor body.
d. Place the wheels back on the tractor.
e. Reinstall and tighten the lug bolts.
10. For GHS (Grass Handling System) equipped
Walker tractors, install a blower intake cover in
the blower intake tube. The cover “unloads” the
blower and seals the intake to effectively elimi-
nate power loss and noise when the blower is
not being used.

11. For stability of the tractor when transporting with
the rotary broom in raised position, approxi-
mately 80 lb (36 kg) of counterweight should be
installed on the tail of the tractor. Optional tail
weights for the various tractor models are avail-
able from your Walker dealer or a sandbag or
similar weight may be used.

work or heavy loads.
