to align it with the ATV hitch. Make sure the minimum
3"-4" clearance between the ATV and the snow thrower
is maintained.

If the rear frame tube does not slide in or out enough
to align with the ATV hitch, move the bolts that fasten
the rear frame tube to the push channel to a different
set of holes. (Refer to figure 15). If alignment is still not
possible, move the bolts that fasten the push channel
to the mounting tubes to a different set of holes. (Refer
to figure 14).

and a 3/4" nylock nut. Place spacers above or below
the hitch as needed to maintain at least 1" clearance
with the bottom of the ATV and adequate clearance
with the ground. Tighten.
NOTe: Replace the bent rear frame tube with the straight
rear frame tube if the bent rear frame tube does not provide
adequate ground clearance and there is extra clearance
with the bottom of the ATV.
