Assembly & Set-Up - MTD 19A70063OEM Manual Del Operador

Disengage the PTO, engage the brake lock, and stop the tractor engine
before performing any preparation procedures. Place the tractor on a firm
and level surface before beginning installation procedures.
The exhaust system and surrounding areas are HOT. To avoid personal
injury, allow the tractor to cool before beginning any plow installation or
removal procedures.
NOTE: The hardware used to install some components on the all season plow has been
loosely installed for shipping purposes. To assemble the plow it may be necessary to remove
this hardware to complete installation.
NOTE: Recommend removing the deck for all models and setting arms in parking brake
position.
Attach Mounting Plates To Tractor
NOTE: Top plate location differs by model. To identify correct positioning, see Figure 1.

TIP:
May be necessary to have two
people to perform this step. One to
