SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
DEBRIS BLOWER
Debris Blower Installation
The debris blower is shipped completely assembled ex-
cept for the driveline, which must be connected to the
input shaft.
1. Remove the belt guard from the debris blower
housing by removing the two (2) cover pins and
hairpins securing it to the housing.
2. Thoroughly clean the debris blower input shaft and
install a 1/4 x 1/4 x 1-1/4 in. key in the input shaft
keyway.
3. Thoroughly clean the inside of the tractor PTO
shaft and align the PTO shaft keyway with the key
in the input shaft keyway.
4. Secure the PTO shaft to the input shaft with a 1/4 x
2-1/2 in. bolt and nylon locknut. Tighten the locknut
and the set screw over the key.
Attach Tractor PTO to Debris Blower Input Shaft
5. Reinstall the belt guard by reversing the removal
procedure.
6. Insert the male quick hitch section of the implement
hitch into the female hitch of the debris blower and
lock in place by moving the hitch locking lever fully
forward to the LOCKED position. Secure the latch
with the linchpin.
Attach Debris Blower to Implement Hitch
7. To install the optional tire chains:
a. Remove the tractor wheels.
b. Attach the tire chains to the wheels.
c. Place the wheel spacer plates on the lug
bolts. The wheel spacer plates provide clear-
ance for the chains between the tires and the
tractor body.
d. Place the wheels back on the tractor.
e. Reinstall and tighten the lug bolts.
8. For GHS (Grass Handling System) equipped
Walker tractors, install a blower intake cover in the
blower intake tube. The cover “unloads” the blower
and seals the intake to effectively eliminate power
loss and noise when the blower is not being used.
Refer to GHS Blower Intake Cover illustration for
ROTARY BROOM in this section.
9. For stability of the tractor when transporting with
the debris blower in raised position, approximately
80 lb (36 kg) of counterweight should be installed
on the tail of the tractor. Optional tail weights for
the various tractor models are available from your
Walker dealer or a sandbag or similar weight may
be used.
