ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d.
8.
PTO Shield: All snowblowers are supplied with a PTO shield. Bolt the
shield (#74) to the hinges on the top of the gearbox on both the #740 and
#840 snowblowers using ¼” x ½” hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts.
Insert a 3/16" cotter pin in the hole in the shield and in the hole at the bottom
corner of the gearbox. Fold back the cotter pins to hold them in place. Hook
the ends of the spring (#71) into these cotter pins to hold the shield down. To
mount the shield (#74) on the #840G snowblower, remove the two rear bolts at
the top of the gearbox (#63). Bolt the PTO shield to the gearbox plate using
these same bolts. Insert a 3/16" cotter pin in the hole in the shield and fold to
lock in place. Hook one end of the spring (#71) into this cotter pin and the
other end into a hole in the lower gearbox plate to hold the shield in place.
CAUTION: Do not run the snowblower without this shield in place.
