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.

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.
