Skid Shoe Adjustment
Refer to Figure 3-2 on page 20:
The Snow Pusher should be operated with skid shoes
and blades set at the same height or with skid shoes set
to carry the blade(s) off the ground.
Setting skid shoes and blade(s) at the same height is
good for clearing snow and other loose materials close to
the ground or paved surfaces. Adjusting skid shoes lower
than the blades will carry the blade(s) above the ground
which is good for pushing snow over gravel, concrete
surfaces with uneven joints, and other uneven surfaces.
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports
•
Make adjustments to the Snow Pusher with unit attached to
the loader arms and properly blocked. The Snow Pusher is
back heavy and can tip over backward if unhooked from the
loader arms.
