Install the belt on the pulleys as shown in figure 5. Be
sure to install belt in inner groove of PTO pulley.
There must be no twists in the belt.

there is clearance between the belt stops (D, E & H,
figure 5) and the belt.
8. Insert end of lift rod through hole in tractor lift arm
(A, figure 6). Install the spring clip (B) through hole
in lift rod (C).
9. If installing for the first time, perform initial
adjustment as follows:
a. Fully lower the lift lever. Place the front set collar
one inch from the rod guide as shown in figure 7,
and tighten the setscrew.
b. Place rear set collar against the spring, compress
the spring slightly, and tighten the setscrew. (The
more the spring is compressed, the more down
