Snow blowing 3 foot drifts with the multiforce.

What happens here

Install the float kit, which enables the snowblower to contour with the ground. This involves drilling a 1-inch (25mm) hole, 1 inch (25mm) off from the main switch. Once the hole is drilled, install the float kit switch, connect the wire harness, and the diode to the existing electrical system under the control panel. This allows the snowblower to 'float' over uneven terrain.

Goal: Enable the snowblower to adapt to ground contours.

Tools and materials

  • 1-inch Drill Bit — Creating the correct size hole for the switch
  • Cordless Drill — Drilling the hole for the float kit switch
  • Diode — Part of the electrical connection for the float kit
  • Float Kit Toro — Allows the snowblower to float over uneven terrain
  • Switch — Activating the float function
  • Wire Harness — Connecting the switch to the mower's electrical system
