General assembly instructions

•Unless otherwise specified, torque all bolts to

“torque specification table” (see table of content for

page number)

•Refer to parts breakdown section for part

identification.

Accessory assembly

Installation of rotation rings:

A. Wrap the rotation ring (item 1) (groove inside) around

the edge of the discharge chute (item 2) as shown.

B. Place the chute (item 3) (opening facing forward) over

the rotation ring.

IMPORTANT: The ring must be inside the base of the

chute. It is the chute that will hold the rotation ring in

place.

C. On the right side of snowblower, install the grooved

rotation ring (item 4) under the chute as shown.

Secure the chute and rotation ring in place with six

hex bolts 1/4’’ x 1 1/4’’ (item 5) and nuts as shown.

Do not tighten too firmly.

D. On the left side of the snowblower, install the other

half of rotation ring (item 6) under the chute as

shown.

Secure the chute and rotation ring in place with three

hex bolts 1/4’’ x 1 1/4’’ (item 7) and nuts (as shown).

Do not tighten the nuts too firmly.

NOTE: Nuts that are too tight might prevent the chute

from rotating side to side. Only a slight pressure is

necessary.

Installation of the motor support

A. Screw the hydraulic hoses (item 1 and 2) to the

motor (item 3), tighten to 22-24 ft-lb. Then put

on the nylon sleeving (item 4) over the two

hoses.

B. Remove the guard (item 5) from the motor

support.

Assembly & initial set-up

C. Remove the 1/4 "nylon insert lock nuts (item a)

and 5/16" flat washers (item a) that were

preinstalled on the snowblower. Leave the 1/4

"x 3/4" carriage bolts in place.

D. Install the assembled hydraulic motor (item 6)

on the snowblower using the four 1/4 "x 3/4"

carriage bolts already in place, four flat washers

(item a), previously removed, and four nylon

insert lock nuts 1/4 '' (item a), previously

removed. Tighten in place.

Adjustment of the hydraulic motor

A. Adjust the hydraulic motor (item 1) by loosening

the three nuts on the carriage bolts (item 2) that

hold the hydraulic motor in place. Do not remove

the nuts.

B. Slide the motor towards the chute (item 3) as

shown (the grooves on the motor’s sprocket

must match those of the rotation ring). Adjust

and retighten the nuts (item 2). Tighten firmly.

C. Install the sprocket guard (item 4) as illustrated

and secure in place with the hardware removed

previously: two 1/4 '' x 3/4 '' bolts (item 5), two

lock washers (item 6) and two flat washers (item

7).

Installation of the hoses support

A. If necessary, remove one or the two bolts and

nuts already in place (item a) depending on the

location of the support.

B. Install the hose support (item 1) using the 1/2 "x

1 3/4" bolts (item 2) and the 1/2 "nylon insert

lock nuts (item 3).

NOTE: Install in an appropriate location making sure

the hose support does not come into contact with the

vehicle when the accessory is in all possible positions

(accessory completely lifted, accessory completely

lowered). And any sharp edge on the tractor or

accessories.

C. Install the support extension if necessary (item

1), as illustrated. Use the 5/16 ’x 1’’ bolts (item 2)

and the 5/16’’ nylon insert lock nuts (item 3).

NOTE: Install in an appropriate location making sure

the support extension does not come into contact with

the vehicle when the accessory is lifted.

Install without tightening, the attaching plates

Assembly & initial set-up

(item 5) as shown, using the 5/16’’ x 1 3/4’’ bolts

(item 4), sleeve (item 6), flat washer (item 7) and

the nylon insert lock nut 5/16’’ (item 8).

D. Secure the hydraulic hoses with the attaching

plates (item 1) on the support extension as

shown, drill a 5/16 "hole in the sleeving where

the bolt will go.

Make sure there is a minimum of excess hydraulic

hose between point A and point B. Tighten the

5/6’’ bolt (item 2) to hold the hoses in place.

Make sure not to tighten too much to avoid

damaging the hydraulic hoses.

NOTE: When required, adjust the support

extension to give the hoses the most freedom of

movement possible.

IMPORTANT: It is the installer/user’s

responsibility to make sure the hoses do not

come into interference with any part of the

vehicle or the accessory and cannot be in

contact with any sharp edge

Preparation of hydraulic hoses

You need to buy the appropriate quick connect matching

with your tractor hydraulic outlet. Supply locally or you

can order one of those kits :

chute rotation to the vehicle’s hydraulic system (item 2).

Read all important following information on this page

before proceeding to the installation of the hoses.

DANGER

To avoid serious injury or death:

•Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can have

sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing serious

personal injury. If injured by escaping fluid, obtain

medical treatment immediately.

•Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles

when working with hydraulic system.

•Before disconnecting hydraulic line or performing

work, relieve all hydraulic pressure

•Visually check for hydraulic leaks and broken, missing,

or malfunctioning parts and make necessary repairs

before applying pressure to the system. Do the same

validation after applying pressure to the system (use a

piece of cardboard not your hands to detect leaks).

IMPORTANT:

*It is the user / or the person who does the installation’s

responsibility to install the hoses in such a manner that

they do not come into contact with any mobile elements

of the vehicle (the wheels or the subframe), sharp edge,

hot surface in all operating conditions if not, this could

lead to damages.

IMPORTANT: If manipulating the hydraulic commands

do not create any movement, one hose from the

hydraulic lift system is interchanged with one hose for

the chute rotation.

NOTE: Use a coloured tie wrap (not supplied) to identify

the different hoses to simplify future installation.

IMPORTANT: Twists in the hydraulic hoses will wear them

out prematurely. If the quick couplers are not well aligned,

slightly loosen the fitting (item 3) in order to rotate the

female quick coupler (item 4). Lubricate the threads with

hydraulic fluid and tighten the joint at 25 ft-lb.

IMPORTANT: Twists in the hydraulic hoses will wear them

out prematurely. If the quick couplers are not well aligned,

slightly loosen the fitting (item 3) in order to rotate the

female quick coupler (item 4). Lubricate the threads with

hydraulic fluid and tighten the joint at 25 ft-lb.

ATTENTION: Over tightening is one of the greatest causes

for oil leaks.

Test the hydraulic controls in order to make sure that they

coordinate with the movement of the accessory. If they do

not match, reconnect the hoses in the right order.
