4. Pull bent pin (#1) and rotate blade (#3) to the left or
right.

Spring Adjustment
Over time and use, the springs on the Snow Trip Blade
can become stretched and/or loosened. Periodically
check to see if the springs (#5) on the Snow Trip Blade
are loose. Tighten the 2 nuts (#1) on eye bolt (#4) so
that the spring is tight and not loose. Adding extra flat
washers (#2) to the existing flat washer (#3) may be
necessary to stretch the springs tight.

Therefore, the blade angle can not be adjusted
manually on the STB1596.
