Preparation
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports
before working under it. Never go under equipment
supported by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can
break, hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls
can be actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.
•
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.
1. Park tractor/skid steer and Snow Pusher on level
ground. Lower Snow Pusher until skid shoes are
resting on 4" to 6" high support blocks to hold the
snow blade off the ground.
2. Shut down tractor/skid steer properly before
dismounting to adjust blade(s). Refer to
“Power
Machine Shutdown Procedure” on page 16.
3. Verify skid shoes are mounted in the 2nd hole down
for the SSP15 Series and 3rd hole down for the
SSP25 Series. If not, readjust skid shoes. Refer to
“Skid Shoe Adjustment” on page 19 for detailed
instructions.
