SNOWBLOWER ASSEMBLY
The snowblower is assembled at the factory, however snowblower kits must be assembled. Use the
present manual and lay out all parts for assembly. Separate bolts and nuts into various sizes. After
assembly, torque all the bolts according to the Torque Specification Table enclosed at the end of the
manual. To assemble, place snowblower on a flat and leveled surface, the auger facing the ground.
Snowblower Preparation
(Figure 8)
1. Install the hand guard (item 1) on the chute,
with the top portion inside the chute and the
bottom section outside the chute base ring.
Place two 1/4" x 3/4" bolts with the head on the
outside of the chute, through the chute then
through the hand guard and secure with a flat
washer, lockwasher and nut. Tighten securely.
2. Remove the rotation support (item 2) from the
chute base lip and discard the bolt.
3. Place the plastic anti-friction ring (item 3) over
the chute base (placing marker on upper side
and towards center of fan housing). Only one
position provides a perfect fit. Apply grease on
top of this ring where it will contact the chute
base.
4. Insert the 1 5/16" (33 mm) plastic bushing
(item 4) in the tube weldment (item 5).
5. Insert the other 1 5/16" plastic bushing (item 6)
in the rotation support (item 2) and place this
over the shaft on the rotation worm (item 7).
6. Install the rotation worm assembly through the
tube weldment (item 5) with the attaching plate
of the support (item 2) on the underside of the
chute base lip.
7. Install the chute over the anti-friction ring and
secure with four retaining plates (item 8), using
two 1/4" x 1/2" bolts (item 9), lockwashers and
nuts in each of three standard retaining plates,
and two 1/4" x 3/4" bolts (item 10), lockwashers
and nuts in the rear right retaining plate, which
also secures the support (item 2). Tighten
securely.
8. Insert two 5/16" x 1" carriage bolts through
each of the skid shoes (Fig. 9, item 1) from
inside the bend. Place a flat washer,
lockwasher and nex nut loosely on each bolt
and place the bolt heads through the round
holes in the outer ends of the bottom angle
of the snowblower body. Slide the square
shank portion of the bolt head into the slot.
Tighten securely.
IMPORTANT: On asphalt roadways,
adjust the skid shoes to allow 3/16" to 1/4"
(4.5 mm to 6.5 mm) clearance between the
cutting edge and the surface. On gravel
surface, allow 1/2" to 5/8" (13 mm to 15.9 mm)
clearance, depending on the size of the
gravel.
