ADJUSTING THE CUTTING EDGE:
The steel cutting edge comes properly adjusted
from the factory. Once cutting edges are broken
in, i.e. a sharp leading edge or as cutting edges
wear, it may be necessary to re-adjust them to
maintain proper cutting edge down pressure.
To adjust the cutting edges, raise and secure
the pusher so that the wear shoes are in their
unloaded position. On the tensioner, loosen the
jam nut and turn the adjusting screw clockwise
to force the cutting edge down. Position the
leading edge flush with the bottom of the wear
shoe (Figure 5). When complete, tighten the jam
nut to secure the position.
Figure 5
WARNING:
Ensure that cutting edges are adjusted equally
across the entire width of the Sno Pusher.
Do not over adjust the cutting edges, this
drastically changes the angle of attack and could
adversely affect the performance of your Sno
Pusher.
WEAR SHOES:
Every Sno Pusher is equipped with two
hardened, abrasion resistant, bolt-on wear
shoes that are replaceable to provide seasons of
use by offering superior protection against wear
and tear. When replacement is required, follow
these guidelines:
WARNING
:
Wear shoes are extremely heavy, please use
caution during the removal and installation
process.
1. Lift Sno Pusher off ground and secure
before attempting any modifications.
2. Remove existing wear shoes by
removing the shoe retaining bolts, lock
nuts and collars. Then pull the wear
shoe off of the mounting pins.
3. Lubricate all sliding surfaces of the wear
shoes, mounting pins, and retaining
collars with grease or never-seize.
4. Re-install wear shoes by sliding them
over the mounting pins and securing
with the shoe retaining bolts, lock nuts
and collars. (Figure 6)
