Craftsman 486.24275 - Manual (Page 5)

• Assemble the upright tubes to the base assembly
using two 5/16-18 X 2" carriage bolts (on outside) and
two 5/16" flat washers and plastic knobs (on inside).
See figure 5.
Assemble the top tubes to the upright tubes using two
1/4" X 1-1/2" hex bolts (from outside) and two 1/4" hex
lock nuts (inside). Do not tighten yet. See figure 6.
Fit the front U-tube onto the top tubes. Fasten the
tubes together using two 1/4" x 1-1/2" hex bolts (on
outside) and two 1/4" hex lock nuts (on inside).
Tighten all loose bolts. See figure 6.
Fit the three support rods into the holes in the top
tubes, with the rods arching upward. Do not over
bend the rods when installing. See figure 6.
Insert the ends of the front brace rod into the holes in
the U-tube and then swing the bottom of the rod
down to rest on top of the dash panel. On newer "GT"
tractors, use the holes at each end of the U-tube. On
older "GT" tractors and on "LT" tractors, the alternate
holes in the front section of the U-tube may provide
the best fit. See figure 7.
Raise the tractor's hood. Place the snow cab canopy
onto the tubing frame, draping the front flap down in
front of the tractor's dash panel. Lower the hood,
trapping the front flap under the hood. Secure the
sides of the canopy by fastening the elastic hooks to
the bottom edge of the footrest and fender. Any
levers or handles on snowthrowers or snow blades
should be located outside of the cab. See figure 8.
