Troy-Bilt Horse User Manual

The Bumper also protects your entire blower
housing. You don't want to dent in the blower
housing because the dented metal
could rub or
hit the flywheel, see Photos 6/29 and 6/30. The
Bumper protects your tiller from that kind of
damage. It also prevents a bent recoil starter
cover
which could interfere with the recoil start-
ing
mechanism-see Photo 6/31.
The
Bumper will serve as a very handy tie-
down in a trailer or a pickup truck. It will also
give you a reliable
handhold to pull or lift the til-
ler. If your attachment bolts are tight, don't
worry, you can lift the entire tiller up in the air
with the Bumper-we've tested that too. We
have picked up tillers suspended only by the
Bumper long enough to ensurethat the Bumper
would hold the weight for lifting the tiller into a
pickup.
Of course, we recommend simply driv-
ing the tiller up ramps into a pickup truck orvan.
It's a lot easier and more sensible.
If you decide to purchase a Dozer/Snow
Blade after you have a
Bumper-we have a
special
kit #1407 which includes easy-to-follow
instructions for attaching the blade. All you'll
need do is add a blade mounting bracket to your
Bumper (see Photo 6/32) and attach the "A"
frame to the blade and the mounting bracket.

Solid obstacles like stone walls
won't damage recoil starter.

ler is tilted for maintenance.
(Photo 6/32) It's easy to add the Dozer/Snow
Blade to the Bumper-just add the brackets,
the blade,
and you're ready to go! ",
