ASSEMBLY

TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY  
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.

Assemble the top tubes to the upright tubes using two  
1/4" x 1-1/2" hex bolts (from outside) and two 1/4" hex  
lock nuts (inside). Do not tighten yet. See figure 6.  
Fit the front U-tube onto the top tubes. Fasten the

outside) and two 1/4" hex lock nuts (on inside).  
Tighten all loose bolts. See figure 6.  
Fit the three support rods into the holes in the top  
tubes, with the rods arching upward. Do not over  
bend the rods when installing. See figure 6.  
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. See figure 8.

Insert the ends of the front brace rod into the holes in  
the U-tube and then swing the bottom of the rod  
down to rest on top of the dash panel. On newer "GT"  
tractors, use the holes at each end of the U-tube. On  
older "GT" tractors and on "LT" tractors, the alternate  
holes in the front section of the U-tube may provide  
the best fit. See figure 7.

OPERATION  
Read this owner's manual and safety rules before operating your tractor with the Snow Cab.  
Check the area of operation thoroughly before  
using the tractor with the snow cab. The added  
height of the snow cab and a reduced field of  
vision require extra caution during operation.  
CAUTION: Watch out for low tree  
limbs and other overhead objects which  
may interfere with the snow cab.  
Unfasten the elastic hooks on one side of the snow  
cab to get on or off the tractor.  
CAUTION: This cab provides foul  
weather protection only. It does not  
provide protection against exhaust  
fumes, collision, rollover or other acci-  
dents.  
Operate outside controls on a snowthrower or  
snow blade through the access flaps in the sides of  
the canopy.  
CAUTION: Never transport the tractor in  
an open truck or open trailer while the  
snow cab is attached.  
Remove the upper snow cab frame and canopy  
before you transport the tractor in an open truck or  
open trailer.

STORAGE  
Before each use make a thorough visual check of  
the snow cab for any bolts and nuts which may  
have loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.  
Clean the vinyl canopy thoroughly with mild liquid  
soap and water. Allow to dry before storing. Refer  
to the Cleaning section.  
Store the snow cab in a clean, dry area away from  
direct sun light.  
CLEANING  
The vinyl portion of the canopy can be washed  
using water only, or a mild liquid soap and water.  
The plastic windows should only be washed using  
running water, or a mild liquid soap and water.  
Wash the windows with your bare hands only. A  
cloth, sponge or brush will scratch the clear plastic.

plastic is dry. The clear plastic will scratch.
