Recommended Accessories
Tire chains and a weight box are recommended when installing
this attachment to your unit. These accessories will improve trac-
tion, thereby making the snowthrower more efficient. For addi-
tional traction, one wheel weight per wheel is recommended.
Weight added to the tractor should not exceed 35 lbs. per wheel
and 100 lbs. additional weight with the weight box.
For operation on slopes greater than 15% (8.5°), weight box, tire
chains and wheel weights are recommended. Never operate on
slopes greater than 30% (16.7°). See Operation on Slopes, page 3.
NOTE: Large Lift Lever Kit (part no. 1691832) is required for
Regent/2500/500 Series & Broadmoor/LT/2600/1600 Series trac-
tors, if not already factory installed. The Landlord/GT/2700/1700
Series tractors come factory equipped with either the large lift
lever or an electric lift.
