48" SNOWBLOWER FOR POWER

KING

MODELS 1614,1618, 2414&

2418

PURPOSE

This Snow

Blower,

manufactured by Engineering Products

Company and Haban Manufacturing Company for use on the Econ-

omy

tractor,

is intended to maintain moderate areas of sidewalk,

driveway and parking lot in the safe and efficient removal of light,

moderate and heavy snow

cover.

Strict adherence to the assembly

and operating instructions will ensure that the unit will have a

long and safe

life.

ASSEMBLY

The Snow Blower header is shipped substantially assembled

in one box and the hitch in another. Finish assembling the unit

according to the diagrams on pages 3, 4, and 5 and the following

instructions:

Bolt end of HITCH WELDMENT (Item 3) to the rear of the

HEADER ASSEMBLY (Item 8) using SCREW,

8" - 24NF x 7

LONG HHC (Item 26) WASHER,

16" SAE FLAT (Item 31) and

NUT,

24NF HEX LOCK (Item 18). Be sure that the WASHERS

are over the slots in the HEADER.

Bolt LIFT ARM LINK (Item 12) to HITCH WELDMENT (Item 3).

There are two holes on this end of the LINK

The upper hole

(marked

"D")

for the Power King 1614 & 1618

models.

The

lower hole (marked

"C")

is for the Power King 2414 & 2418 models.

Run

SCREW,

16"

20NF x 2-1

2" LONG HHC (Item 29) through

the LINK, then through a WASHER,

16" SAE FLAT (Item 31)

through the tube welded to the bottom of the HITCH WELDMENT

through another WASHER

(Item 31) and into NUT, 7

16" - 20NF

HEX LOCK (Item

19).

This joint must be free to turn.

Slide female SLIP ASSEMBLY (Item 150) into male SLIP AS-

SEMBLY (Item 152). Slide Sections of the PTO GUARDS (Items 187

and 188) together and mount to HEADER flange and GUARD

BRACKET using hardware (Items 165, 185,

187,

189, 190, 191,

192).

Assemble LIFT LINK (Item 11) as shown on page 3. It is very

important

that the KEYS (Item 34), the LIFT LINK BRACKET,

(Item 2), the SPRING (Item 16) and the WASHER (Item 32) be

the relative positions shown

This arrangement allows the HEADER

to trip up when a solid object is struck and therefore, avoids

damage to the HEADER, HITCH, and

LIFT.

The length of the LINK

adjusted for the various model tractors by placing the KEYS

and PINS in the appropriate

locations.

See Diagram on page

Attach the LIFT LINK to lift arm on Lift Weldment (Item 5) using

BOLT

16" x 2" LONG BLANK (Item 23), SPRING (Item 15),

WASHER, 7

16" SAE FLAT (Item 31) and KEY #9 LARGE QUICK

CHANGE (Item

34).

Attach the CHUTE CRANK BRACKET (Item 1 0) to the right

hand side of the tractor flywheel housing

Two holes are provided

there for this purpose. Use SCREW,

24NF x 7

8" LONG

HHC (Item 26) and WASHER,

8" REGULAR LOCK (Item

30).

Place DISCHARGE CHUTE (Item 143) and DEFLECTOR AS-

SEMBLY (Item 33) through the DEFLECTOR DRIVE CABLE LOOP

(Item 120 and over the discharge stack on the HEADER. Tighten

the four BOLTS (Item 176) at the DISCHARGE CHUTE base. These

BOLTS should fit under the ring on the HEADER discharge stack

to prevent the DISCHARGE CHUTE from coming off during opera

tion,

yet allow it to rotate freely. Place both interlocking loops of

the CABLE over the stud on the DISCHARGE CHUTE and retain

with WASHER

(Item 1 06) and BOLT, 1

20NC x 1

2" LONG

HEX MACH (Item

175).

The Snow Blower is now fully assembled and ready for mount-

ing,

final adjustments and operation

MOUNTING

Mount Snow Blower as follows

Be sure tractor is on a level surface, is not running and is in

neutral. Place HEADER and HITCH ASSEMBLY

front of

tractor

with LIFT LINK extending forward toward the rear

Roll the tractor

forward until HITCH PIVOT ROD is just slightly ahead of tractor

rear hitch blocks. Leave tractor in neutral and lift rear of

HITCH

and roll tractor forward until PIVOT ROD is in slot in rear hitch

block. Tractor is most easily moved by turning tire, either front

rear.

Raise LIFT WELDMENT until bar is in slot of tractor

front hitch

block.

Rotate HITCH LATCH into pos1t1on and retain

with BOLT

8" x 2" LONG

BLANK

(Item 22) and

KEY,

#11

SMALL QUICK CHANGE (Item

35).

Attach rear end of LIFT LINK to tractor lift arm using

BOLT

16" x 3" LONG BLANK (Item

24),

SPRING (Item 15), WASHER

(Item 31) and KEY (Item

34).

LIFT LINK should have already been

assembled to proper length referencing the diagram on page

Disconnect the Electromagnetic Clutch wires and retaining

chain.

Place BELT (Item 14) over clutch and into front

groove.

Reconnect chain and wires. It is desireable to wrap the wires once

around the chain when reconnecting to avoid its rubbing on the

engine screen and

BELT

during

operation.

Run BELT down around DRIVE SHAFT

SHEAVE

and around

IDLER SHEAVE. Adjust BELT tension by turning WING NUT so

that about 1" of thread shows on

BELT

TENSIONING ROD

The

BELT will stretch after operation begins and will have to be re-

adjusted.

Stop engine before making any adjustments.

Hook end of CRANK ROD (Item 135) through the EYEBOLT

(Item 1 07) of chute turning

assembly.

Slide other CRANK ROD

(Item 1 07) through CHUTE CRANK (Item 1 0) and into the end of

the other CRANK ROD

ADJUSTMENTS

Adjust SKID SHOES (Item 1 03) to the desired height by block

ing up the HEADER

loosening the BOLT (Item 131) and NUT (Item

183), adjusting Shoe height, and retightening BOLT and

NUT.

Adjust both SHOES to the same level. If operation

to take place

on a gravel or stone

driveway, etc.,

it is recommended that the

SHOES be as low as

possible.

Both the SCRAPER BLADE (Item

101) and the SKID SHOES are subject to wear and are designed

for easy replacement

Replace before wear is excessive to pre-

vent damage to the auger housing

correctly

adjusted AUGER CHAIN (Item 121) will have a

slight amount of slack. Adjust this CHAIN by loosening NUTS

(Item

161) at the HEADER end of the universal shaft, loosen the

JAM NUT (Item 168) and turn BOLT (Item 150) to adjust CHAIN

tension. Clockwise to increase tension,

counter-clockwise to

decrease tension. Re-tighten JAM NUT and NUTS

(Item

161

Check CHAIN periodically to maintain proper

adjustment.

Do not

run CHAIN either

too

tight or too

loose.

The DISCHARGE CHUTE CRANK

located on

the

right hand

side of the

tractor.

Turn CRANK to control the direction of the

snow

discharge.

The CHUTE rotates thru a total of about 270° and

should turn equally far in either

direction.

Overtravel

prohibited

by a

chute

stop bolt. If the CHUTE travel is not the same

both

directions, check the wrap of the CABLE (Item 120) and the TUBE

(Item

118).

It should be wrapped 2-1

2 times around the TUBE in

each

direction.

If the DISCHARGE CHUTE will not hold

a set

position,

tighten the NUT (Item 184) until the CHUTE does hold its

position

Do not

overtighten.

The DEFLECTOR (Item 133) mounted on top of the DISCHARGE

CHUTE determines the distance snow is

thrown.

Moving the top

the DEFLECTOR down decreases the distance while raising the

DEFLECTOR

increases it.
