handle rod through the hole in the end of the chan nel

as sem bly (Figure 18). Next, insert the lift link pin

through the hole in the bracket that is welded to the lift

handle rod. (The lift link is pre-assembled to the pivot

support bracket). Se cure the bracket with a hairpin

cotter (O) in sert ed up through the lift link pin.

• Assemble plastic grip onto lock release grip assembly.

• Attach lock release grip assembly to lift handle tube

using one 5/16" x 1-1/2" hex bolt (C) and one 5/16"

nylock nut (K).

Do not overtighten

the nut. The grip

as sem bly must pivot freely.

• Assemble the ball end of the cable to a cable end

ﬁ tting as you did to the other end of the cable. Secure

the cable end ﬁ tting to the weld bolt on the lock release

grip with a 1/4" nylock nut (J).

Do not over tight en

lock nut. The cable ﬁ t ting must pivot freely.

STEP 22: (SEE FIGURE 22)

• Place the end of the blade pivot rod down through the

blade pivot shaft. Attach the other end of the blade

pivot rod to the lift handle tube. Secure both ends with

a hairpin cotter (O). The holes for the hairpin cotters

should be parallel to the ground.

• Use the two plastic ties to hold the cable se cure ly

to the outside of the handle tube and away from the

tractor to avoid direct heat from the tractor mufﬂ er.

• Squeeze the grip assembly to check blade pivot. To

adjust, see Service & Adjustments section on p. 13.
