•
From the left side, insert the welded end of the lift
handle rod through the exposed holes in the end of the
channel assembly. Next, insert the lift link pin through
the hole in the bracket that is welded to the lift handle
rod. (The lift link is pre-assembled to the pivot support
bracket). Secure the bracket with a small hairpin cotter.
•
Apply a light coating of oil to the straight upper portion
of the lift handle rod. Slide the lift handle tube onto the

•
Pivot the blade to the center position and lower it to
the ground. Place shims under the blade to create
the amount of ground clearance you want. The more
uneven the surface the more clearance you will need.
•
Attach the skid shoes to the blade using a 5/16" x 3/4"
carriage bolt in the top hole and a 5/16" x 1" carriage
bolt in the bottom hole. With the skid shoes resting on
the ground, secure the bolts with 5/16" washers and
5/16" nylock nuts.

Remove the rubber cap and the first jam nut from the
threaded end of the control cable and slide them onto
the control cable wire. Adjust the second jam nut on
the threads so that it is approximately 3/4" from end.
Assemble threaded end of cable through the cable
mount bracket on the lift handle tube and secure it
with the first jam nut. Reinstall the rubber cap onto the
threaded cable end.
NoTE: Some adjustment of jam nuts may be required
after blade assembly is completed.

STEP 20:
•
Assemble the plastic grip onto the grip assembly.
•
Attach the grip assembly to the lift handle tube using
one 5/16" x 1-1/2" hex bolt and one 5/16" nylock nut.
Do not overtighten the nylock nut. The grip assembly
must pivot freely.
•
Assemble the ball end of the cable to a cable end
fitting as was done to the other end of the cable.
Secure the cable end fitting to the weld bolt on the lock
release grip with a 1/4" nylock nut. Do not overtighten
the nylock nut. The cable fitting must pivot freely.
