Rubber Blade Adjustment
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 tractor loader and properly blocked. The Snow Pusher
is back heavy and can tip over backward if unhooked from
the tractor loader.
Preparation
1. Park tractor and Snow Pusher on level ground. Lower
Snow Pusher until skid shoes are resting on 4" to 6"
high support blocks to hold rubber blade off the
ground. (Support blocks not shown in illustration.)
2. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting to
adjust blade(s). Refer to “Tractor Shutdown
Procedures” on page 10.
3. Verify skid shoes are mounted in the 4th hole down.
If not, readjust skid shoes. Refer to “Skid Shoes
With Rubber Blade” on page 14.
