Skid Shoes With Steel Blade(s)
Refer to Figure 3-2 on page 15:
The Snow Pusher should be operated with skid shoes
and steel blade(s) set at the same height or with skid
shoes set to carry the steel blade(s) off the ground.
Setting skid shoes and steel 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 steel blade(s) will carry blade(s) above
ground which is good for pushing snow over gravel and
uneven surfaces such as concrete driveways with uneven
joints.
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.
Refer to Figure 3-3:
1. Park tractor with attached Snow Pusher on level
ground.
2. Lower Snow Pusher until blade is resting
4" to 6" off the ground on support blocks (#4).
NOTE: Mounting holes for adjusting the skid shoes
are spaced vertically 1/2" apart.
3. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting to
adjust skid shoes. Refer to “Tractor Shutdown
Procedures” on page 10.
4. On the left-hand side, remove hex whiz nuts (#3) and
carriage bolts (#2).
Refer to Figure 3-4 on page 17:
5. Adjust left-hand skid shoe as follows:
Skid Shoes Set Even With Steel Blade:
•
Mount left-hand skid shoe (#1) in the 3rd square
hole.
Skid Shoes Set Below Bottom of Steel Blade:
•
Mount left-hand skid shoe (#1) in the 1st or 2nd
square hole.
1st = 1" blade clearance above ground
2nd = 1/2" blade clearance above ground
Skid Shoes Set in the 4th or 5th Square Hole:
•
Mount left-hand skid shoe (#1) in the 4th square
hole after the first 1/2" has worn off the bottom of
the steel blade.
•
Mount left-hand skid shoe (#1) in the 5th square
hole after a second 1/2" has worn off the bottom of
the steel blade.
•
Reverse the steel blade after a third 1/2" has worn
off the bottom of the steel blade. Refer to
“Reverse
Steel Blade(s)” on page 17.
Refer to Figure 3-3:
6. Reinsert 1/2"-13 x 1 1/4" GR5 carriage bolts (#2) and
secure with whiz nuts (#3).
7. Tighten whiz nuts (#3) to the correct torque.
8. Repeat steps 4-7 for the right-hand side. Make sure
