ASSEMBLING SNOW CAB

Your tractor fender style may differ from the one shown in the drawings. These instructions apply to all fender styles.

• Raise the tractor seat, unscrew the seat spring bolts

and remove the springs from the rear fender. See figure 1.

• Spread apart the slotted ends of the base assembly's

front brackets just enough to fit them on the outside of the seat hinge bracket. Slide the slots over the bolt heads. See figure 3. IMPORTANT: The ends of the front brackets must fit snugly against the outside of the seat hinge bracket to keep the base assembly secured.

• Align the assembly's bottom brackets over the holes

where you removed the seat springs. Check to see if the base assembly's tubing rubs against the fender. If the tubing rubs, apply the adhesive pads to the fender, under the tubing. See figure 3.

FIGURE 7

• Raise the tractor's hood. Place the snow cab canopy

onto the tubing frame, draping the front flap down in front of the tractor's dash panel. Lower the hood, trapping the front flap under the hood. Secure the sides of the canopy by fastening the elastic hooks to the bottom edge of the footrest and fender. Any levers or handles on snowthrowers or snow blades should be located outside of the cab.
