Do not tighten. If the slider tube does not fully extend into both U-bolts (D), then loosen the appropriate hex bolt (A) and reposition the slider tube (1).
Assemble the Blade Mount Assembly Assemble the pusher wall Assemblies STEP 3: (SEE FIGURE 3) • • • Attach four pivot brackets (4) to the blade mount assembly (5) using four hex bolts (A) and Nyloc hex nuts (C). To help align the pivot brackets (4), temporarily insert the pivot shaft (14) through the holes in the pivot brackets. Remove the pivot shaft (14) once the pivot brackets (4) are securely attached to the blade mount assembly (5).
STEP 7: (SEE FIGURE 7) • • • • • Assemble and Attach the Wheels With the second assembled frame lying flat and the greater angle to the left, place a pusher wall (8) on top with the stitching facing the frame. Align the pusher wall holes with the holes in the frame and attach using six hex bolts (S), washers (G), and hex nuts (H) in the holes shown. Make sure the two hex bolts on the vertical part of the frame are on the side with the greater angle as shown. Tighten the six hex nuts.
STEP 12: (SEE FIGURE 12) Attach the Pusher Walls to the Bulkhead • • STEP 11: (SEE FIGURE 11) • • • • Stand the left pusher wall assembly (8) upside down as shown. Stand the bulkhead (12) upside down with the hole closer to the ground and the flat side against the left side (less angle) of the pusher wall assembly. Attach the left pusher wall assembly to the bulkhead (12) using three hex bolts (N), washers (G), and hex nuts (H) and tighten. Add a second hex nut (H) to each hex bolt and tighten.
Attach the Leaf Rake to the Bulkhead Attach the Pivot Assembly to the Bulkhead STEP 13: (SEE FIGURE 13) • Lay the bulkhead with the pusher wall assemblies flat. • Place the rake brace (13) on the leaf rake (9), aligned to the top of the leaf rake. • Attach the leaf rake (9) and rake brace (13) to the bottom of the bulkhead (12) using two hex bolts (M), and hex nuts (H) and tighten. • Add a second hex nut (H) to each hex bolt and tighten.
STEP 16: (SEE FIGURE 16) Attach Push Tubes to the Bulkhead • STEP 15: (SEE FIGURE 15) • With a push tube (15) level to the hitch mount assembly (2), insert the uncapped end of the push tube into the bulkhead (12) hole at that height. • Repeat with the second push tube. • Secure each push tube to the bulkhead using a washer (O) and hair cotter pin (P). • • Attach the two push tubes (15) together using a clevis pin (Q) and a spacer (R) between the push tubes at the end closest to the bulkhead.
OPERATION Engage the Leaf Blade Assembly 1. Sit on the tractor so that your feet can reach the push tube handles. CAUTION: Failure to obey the following cautions could result in personal injury or product damage: • Securely position your feet on the push tube handles when engaging or disengaging the leaf blade assembly. • Do NOT take your feet off the push tube handles until the leaf blade assembly is either fully locked into the disengage position or fully released to the engage position.
Storage Adjust the Leaf Blade Height NOTE: If using the leaf blade on uneven terrain, raise the leaf blade assembly one hole higher to prevent damage to the unit. To store, remove the push wall assembly from the hitch mount assembly. • Engage the leaf rake so that the wheels are on the ground. (See "Engage the Leaf Blade Assembly" on page 11 for instructions.) • Remove the hair cotter pin (P) and clevis pin (Q)from the push tubes at the end furthest from the bulkhead.
