A - Lift Pedal

B - Lift Lock Handle

C - Lift Handle

The snowblower should be approximately 10.2 cm (4 in.) off the ground when fully raised. If the lift height is adjusted too high, the front hitch pivot will bottom out, and the lift pedal lock handle will not engage (models with mechanical lift system). The lift height will be slightly less if machine is equipped with HDAP tires.

1. Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)

2. Set mower height of cut knob to lowest position.

3. Lower attachment:

   Models with Mechanical Lift System

   Pull lift pedal (A) back by hand to lower attachment. With attachment lowered, pull back firmly on lift pedal (A), then pull up on lift lock handle (B) to lock the pedal.

   CAUTION: Avoid injury! Lift pedal is spring-assisted and may have unexpected movement. Lock lift pedal when installing or removing attachment.

   Models with Hydraulic Lift System

   Push down on lift handle (C) to lower attachment.
