Jeff,
You have to loop the lift line back up to the tractor to get enough
mechanical advantage to be able to lift the HEAVY blower! In other words
the
end of the lift line goes to the tractor through a pin that you may or may
not have (I use a long bolt through the last hole in the lift arm but just
before the nylon roller. The loop part goes through the lift pin on the
blower and must be free to rotate. The flat nylon webbing will start to
show
wear no mater what. Also make sure the line feeds out of the spool into its
roller next to the drum. The best part of the ElecTrak is you can see how
this works and change it to fit your lifting requirements. This is best
done
on your hands and knees, while saying "Oh great Yellow One, please grant me
the knowledge of how this works ". This all works better if its snowing or
raining on you.
What a ride!
