Ventrac KC180 Owner/operator's Manual & Parts List - Setup & Operation
MIRROR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Install the right and left mount brackets (Page E-5, Ref. 2 & 3) to the front sides of
the tractor chassis at the front bumper mount.
The KT4100 & KT4200 use only the top and bottom mounting holes.
The HT4000 uses all three mounting holes. The top two holes on each bracket
require a flat washer between the bracket and the tractor to level the mounting
surface.
NOTE: an HT4000 with a Kawasaki engine will require modification of the hole spacing.
2. Assemble the two attachment arms (E-5, Ref. 4) as shown on page E-5. The two
bolts in the cross-over bracket should only be finger-tight until the correct setting has
been verified at the end of the assembly procedure.
3. Install the attachment arms an equal distance into the mount brackets on the tractor.
Secure them with the side adjustment screws.
NOTE: install with the cross-over bracket in the high position to give adequate
clearance for the grinder in the raised position.
4. Mount the mirror housing (E-5, Ref. 16) to the outer ends of the attachment arms.
For a trial setting, we recommend selecting a hole near the center of the adjustment
options. Use the identical hole on the opposite side. Install the bolts, washers, and
nuts as shown on page E-5.
5. Install the pivot bolts as shown on page E-5.
6. Install the mirror into the right and left slots inside the mirror housing. Install the four
rubber stops (E-5, Ref. 14) around the perimeter of the mirror to secure it.
8. Test the results by sitting on the tractor seat to determine if the settings allow the
operator to SEE the action of the grinder. Make any necessary adjustments and
tighten all nuts and bolts.
Remove the mirror when not using the stump grinder. Loosen the side adjustment
screws and slide the attachment arms out of the mount brackets. Clean the mirror of
any dust and debris and store in a safe place.
