Blower
setup.

guidelines for your operation. Know and follow good work practices when assembling,

SKID SHOE ADJUSTMENT
Determine what type of surface is beneath the snow where your Hydraulic Snow Blower is being
operated.
•
If the surface is hard and smooth, like concrete or asphalt, the skid shoe placement as shipped
from the factory (i.e. in their highest position) is correct.
•
If the surface is soft or uneven, then a lower position should be used.
Changing the position of the skid shoes should be performed as follows:
1.
Park your prime mover on a level surface with this product properly attached.
2.
Place your prime mover's transmission in "Park" and engage the parking brake.
3.
Lower this product's cutting edge onto wood or steel blocking that is adequate to safely hold the
base of the skid shoes 2.5" to 3" off of the level surface OR tilt the snow blower forward (keeping
the loader arms locked to the attachment mounting plate), holding the skid shoes 2.5" to 3" off
the ground.
4.
Shut off your prime mover's engine, remove the starter key, wait for all moving parts to come to a
stop, and relieve all pressure in the hydraulic lines.
