Skid Shoes
Refer to Figure 3-1:
There are two skid shoes mounted on the back under the
end trip springs that should be adjusted vertically
according to the surface they are running over.
Soft Surfaces: Adjust the bottom of the skid shoes to be
about 1/2" below the blade cutting edge when on soft
surfaces such as gravel, grain, or loose dirt.
Hard Surfaces: Adjust the bottom of the skid shoes to be
even with the bottom of the cutting edge when on hard
surfaces such as asphalt or concrete.
1.
Remove hex flange locknuts (#4) and hex flange
screws (#3).
2.
Adjust skid shoe mount (#2) up or down to your
preference and reinstall hex flange screws (#3).
3.
Secure hex flange screws with existing hex flange
locknuts (#4). Tighten locknuts to the correct torque.

compression nut (#2) as needed to readjust the
spring length.
2.

*Set-up Length is measured from center line of lower pivot
pin to under side of upper spring cap.

CAUTION
Compressing the springs to a value less than 12 11/16" will
reduce Trip Blade angle and increase stored energy in the trip
mechanism which can cause personal injury.
