Skid Shoes
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.
3. Shut tractor engine off see
4. Remove linchpin (#4) 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. Reattach the 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.

Locking and Unlocking Blade
The Snow Trip Blade may also be used for pushing loose
dirt and other light materials. The blade must be in the
locked position to do so.
1.
Rest the Snow Trip Blade on level ground.
2. Shut tractor engine off and remove switch key.
3. To lock the Snow Trip Blade for working loose dirt and
other light material, use 1/2-13 X 1 1/2 GR5 round
head square neck bolts (#1) through holes (B) as
shown and fasten with hex flanged whiz nuts (#2).
4. Tighten to correct torque.
Locking/Unlocking Blade
Figure 2-2
NOTE:
When working snow, the blade must be
unlocked. Bolts (#1) and nuts (#2) should be
assembled in holes (A) to prevent misplacing them.
NOTE:
Do not operate the Snow Trip Blade in the
unlocked position when working loose dirt or similar
materials.
IMPORTANT:
Attempting to work undisturbed soil,
heavy materials or similar items can damage the
Snow Trip Blade and will void all warranties.
