Skid Shoes
Refer to Figure 2-1:
The skid shoes mounted on the back of the moldboard
should be adjusted vertically according to the surface
they are running over. Doing so will reduce the chance of
blade or surface damage during snow removal on gravel
or loose stone driveways.
1. Operate your loader lift lever to raise the Snow Trip
Blade off the ground high enough to remove skid
shoes (#1).
2. Place support blocks under the cutting edge and
lower the Snow Trip Blade until it rests on the blocks.
4. Remove linchpin (#4) and linchpin protector (#5)
from skid shoe (#1).
5. Adjust height up or down to your preference by
adding or removing spacers (#3) from under the skid
shoe mount (#2).
6. Re-install linchpin protector (#5) and re-attach
linchpin (#4) to the skid shoe (#1).
Skid Shoe Adjustment
Figure 2-1
NOTE:
For working snow, the skid shoes should be
3/8" to 3/4" below the bottom of the cutting edge. For
working dirt, the skid shoes should be above the
bottom of the cutting edge or removed.

materials.
