Operation
AlphaBlower Adjustment
The snow blower must be adjusted so that it
is level.
For the blower to penetrate all the way down to
the asphalt it is very important that the blower is
correctly adjusted prior to operation. The blower
must be adjusted so that it is level.
NOTE: The blower is adjusted using the length
of the top link and the stepless height
adjustment for gauge wheels.
Incorrect adjustment of top link or gauge wheels
will result in high wear to replaceable edges.
If the top link is shortened the blower will tilt
forward. This will result in increased wear to
cutting edge at the front of the blower housing.
If the top link is lengthened the blower will be lifted
at the front. A larger part of the blower weight will
be transferred to the gauge wheels, provided
these have been adjusted correctly. This results in
less wear to cutting edge.
1. Locate a level surface to adjust the blower.
2. Lift the blower using the tractor hydraulics.
Adjust the underside of the gauge wheels to
approximately 2” higher than the underside of
the scraping steel.
3. Lower the blower onto the surface. Unload the
top link so that the top link bolt is completely
loose. The blower is now level on the surface
and resting on the cutting edge.
4. Adjust gauge wheels so that these are flush
with the surface. Then tighten the adjustment
screw slightly more so that the gauge wheels
are pushed down against the surface.
5. Now adjust the top link outwards a little. The
blower will now lift a little at the front. The
weight of the blower will now be distributed
across cutting edge and gauge wheels.
NOTE: The blower should now be resting on
the cutting edge.
