SNOWPLOW ASSEMBLY
5. Attach the two skid shoe holders
(fig.6) to the bottom of the lower cross rib on
the back of the plow blade. They should be
attached so that they are cupped upwards, the
ends of the holders with the two holes angled
slightly when the blade stands vertically and
the end having the single large hole aligned
horizontally so that the shoes are vertical. To
attach each, use 2 M12 x 32 mm gr.8 hex
head bolts inserted from below, and 2 M12
Nylock nuts threaded on from the top to attach it to the cross rib.
6. If not already done, thread an
M18 nut onto the shaft of each skid shoe (fig.7).
Assuming the blade assembly is held in a
vertical position, insert the skid shoes into
the skid shoe holders from below. Hold
them in place with a Nylock nut on top of
each (fig.8). Temporarily set the shoes so
they hold the blade scraper about 1 cm (1/2
inch) above the surface. This is the normal
setting for paved surfaces, but you can vary
the height according to conditions.
7.
Assemble the D frame (fig.9) on top of the A frame (fig. 10). With the rounded
portion of the
D frame held so it slides under the angle bracket (a, fig.10) on top
of the A frame and the centre hole engages the angle locking pin (12, fig.10),
connect the two frames using the pivot bolt. This is a 75 mm (2.95”) M6 gr.8 hex
head bolt with a 16 mm washer (8, fig.10), inserted from below the hole in the
apex of the “A” of the A frame, through the pivot bolt sleeve. It goes up through
a hole in the centre of the straight side of the “D” in the D frame. Hold this in
place with an M16 Nylock nut.
