Section 4: Maintenance

Maintenance

Proper servicing and adjustment are key to the long life of 
any attachment. With careful inspection and routine 
maintenance, you can avoid costly downtime and repair.

Check all bolts after using the unit for several hours to be 
sure they are tight. Replace any worn, damaged, or 
illegible safety labels by obtaining new labels from your 
nearest Kubota dealer.

The parts on your Snow Pusher have been specially 
designed and should only be replaced with genuine 
Kubota parts. Do not alter the Snow Pusher in a way 
which will adversely affect its performance.

DANGER

!

To prevent serious injury or death:

Perform maintenance on the Snow Pusher with unit 

attached to the loader arms and properly supported with 
blocks. The Snow Pusher is back heavy and can tip over 
backward if unhooked from the loader arms.

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.

Do not go near or under raised lift arms unless an approved 

lift-arm support is available and is used to secure the lift 
arms in the raised position.

WARNING

!

To prevent serious injury or death:

Perform scheduled maintenance. Check for loose 
hardware, missing parts, broken parts, structural cracks, 
and excessive wear. Make repairs before putting implement 
back into service.

Check hitch fit-up frequently. An improper fit-up can cause 
the attachment to come loose from the loader hitch plate 
and fall.

Keep all steps, grab bars, pedals, and controls free of dirt, 
grease, debris, and oil.

Do not alter attachment or replace parts on the attachment 
with other brands. Other brands may not fit properly or 
meet OEM specifications. They can weaken the integrity 
and impair the safety, function, performance, and life of the 
attachment. Replace parts only with genuine OEM parts.

Skid Shoes

Refer to Figure 3-1 on page 19:

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.

Skid shoes are reversible to extend their life. The shoes 
are 1/2" thick when new and should be reversed when 
approximately 5/16" thick. Replace skid shoes before the 
shoes are worn through.

1.

Park tractor/skid steer and Snow Pusher on level 
ground. 

2.

Lower Snow Pusher until snow blade or alternate 
steel blades are resting on 4" to 6" high support 
blocks (#4) to hold the skid shoes off the ground. 

3.

Shut down tractor/skid steer properly before 
dismounting to adjust skid shoes. Refer to 

“Power 

Machine Shutdown Procedure” 

on page 16.

4.

On the left-hand side, remove hex whiz nuts (#3 & 
#3A), carriage bolts (#2 & #2A), and skid shoe (#1).

5.

Repeat step 4 for the right-hand side.

6.

Reverse Skid Shoes:

 Attach left-hand skid shoe on 

the right-hand side and right-hand skid shoe on the 
left-hand side with existing 1/2"-13 x 1" GR5 carriage 
bolts (#2 & #2A) and hex whiz nuts (#3 & #3A). 
Tighten hex whiz nuts to the correct torque.

7.

Replace Skid Shoes:

 Attach new skid shoes to the 

left and right-hand sides with existing 1/2"-13 x 1" 
GR5 carriage bolts (#2 & #2A) and hex whiz 
nuts (#3 & #3A). Tighten hex whiz nuts to the correct 
torque. 

Blades

The optional rubber snow blades, steel blades, and pull 
back rubber blades can be rotated upside down and 
reused to extend their life. Replace blade(s) when both 
edges can no longer be adjusted down. For detailed 
instructions, see 

“Reverse Rubber Blade” 

on page 20, 

“Reverse Steel Blades” 

on page 21, and 

“Reverse Pull 

Back Rubber Blade” 

on page 21.
