ATTACHING THE ELECTRIC ASSIST KIT
• Attach the mount bracket assembly to the sleeve
hitch frame using four 3/8" x 1" hex bolts and 3/8"
nylock hex nuts. See figure 2.
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY
(2) 9/16" Wrenches or Adjustable Wrenches
(2) 3/4" Wrenches or Adjustable Wrenches
PREPARING THE SLEEVE HITCH
• Remove the bolt and nut that attach the lift link to
the sleeve hitch frame. Remove the handle and the
pivot brackets from the sleeve hitch frame. See
figure 1.
Page 5
• Insert the 1 /2" x 2-3/4" hex bolt into the lower shaft
of the actuator and then screw a 1/2" hex lock nut
as far as possible onto the bolt. See figure 3.
• Place up to five 1/2" flat washers between the
anchor brackets on the lift assembly and insert the
end of the 1/2" x 2-3/4" hex bolt through the anchor
brackets and the washers. Screw a second 1/2"
hex lock nut onto the bolt so that it is flush with the
end of the bolt. Screw the first nut back against the
anchor brackets and tighten both nuts securely.
See figure 3.
IMPORTANT: Connect to a 12 volt power source only.
• If you wish to permanently attach the switch to the
tractor dash:
a. Drill a 1/2" hole in the lower right hand corner of
the tractor's dash as shown in figure 5. A hole
larger than 1/2" may cause the nuts on the
switch to not hold properly.
b. Remove the hex nut from the actuator switch
and then screw the round nut to about the mid
point on the threads.
c. Insert the switch into the hole you drilled in the
tractor's dash and secure it with the hex nut you
removed from the switch.
• To connect the switch to the tractor battery, attach
the terminal on the red wire (with fuse) to the
positive post and the terminal on the black wire to
the negative post of the battery.
• Route the flexible conduit to the rear of the tractor
avoiding hot engine parts, moving parts and pinch
points. Connect the plug on the conduit wires to the
plug on the actuator wires.
Place the other end of the actuator between the
anchor brackets on the mount bracket assembly.
Insert the 1/2" x 2" clevis pin through the anchor
brackets, securing it with the 3/32" hair cotter pin.
See figure 4.
