TILLER FRAME WEIGHTS KIT – OEM-290-265 / 290-265-081

INTRODUCTION

The frame weights are an easily installed and recommended attachment. By placing extra weight on the frame above each wheel, your tiller will have better traction.

Please follow these instructions to install the frame weights.

If you have questions or problems installing or using this kit, contact your local authorized dealer or the Factory

Technical Service Department.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place a block beneath the transmission so that the left wheel is suspended off the ground.

2. Remove the hairpin cotter and clevis pin that secure the wheel to the axle.

Remove the wheel.

3. Remove the screw that attaches the forward end of the transmission pan to the frame rail (Figure 1). Keep this screw in case you remove the frame weights at a later time.
