Skid Shoes With Rubber Blade
Refer to Figure 3-2 on page 15:
The Snow Pusher should be operated with skid shoes
and rubber snow blade set at the same height or with skid
shoes set to carry the blade off the ground.
Setting skid shoes and rubber snow blade 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 rubber blade will
carry the blade 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
•
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.
1.
Park tractor with attached Snow Pusher on level
ground.
NOTE:
Mounting holes for adjusting the skid shoes
are spaced vertically 1/2" apart.
2. Lower Snow Pusher until rubber blade is resting 4" to
6" off the ground on support blocks (#4).
3. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting to
adjust skid shoes. Refer to
4. On the left-hand side, remove hex whiz nuts (#3) and
carriage bolts (#2).
Refer to Figure 3-2 on page 15:
5. Adjust left-hand skid shoe as follows:
Skid Shoes Set Even With Bottom of Blade:
•
Mount left-hand skid shoe (#1) in the 4th square
hole.
Skid Shoes Set Below Bottom of Blade:
•
Mount left-hand skid shoe (#1) in the 1st, 2nd, or
3rd square hole.
1st = 1 1/2" blade clearance above ground
2nd = 1" blade clearance above ground
3rd = 1/2" blade clearance above ground
Skid Shoe Set in the 5th Square Hole:
•
Mount left-hand skid shoe (#1) in the 5th square
hole when rubber blade can no longer be adjusted
down to compensate for blade wear.
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
both skid shoes are set to the same height.
