SECTION 2: OPERATING THE BLADE
CAUTION:
carefully before operating the snow blade.
Avoid pipes, roots, curbs or other heavy
obstructions.
The lift handle, located on the left side of the snow blade,
is used to raise and lower the blade. Pulling the lift handle
all the way back raises the snow blade. Move the lift handle
forward to lower the snow blade to the ground.
The angle of the blade can be adjusted to the right or left by
pulling back on the angle lock bar, shown in figure 10, and
repositioning the head of the blade to the right, left or center.

CAUTION:
exceptionally sharp slopes or drop offs which
may be hidden by the snow. Never run the snow
blade into heavy material at high speed.
Always begin with the engine speed at the lowest possible
setting, and gradually increase speed as required.
When working in a large area, do not attempt to move the
snow all in the same direction, causing an excessive buildup,
which would become larger with each pass.
CAUTION:
before leaving tractor.
Inspect the area to be worked

SECTION 3: ADJUSTMENTS
To Adjust Blade Spring
The blade adjust spring allows the blade to tilt forward to
bypass solid obstructions. The normal adjustment is for the
spring bolt to extend 1" through the top of the blade.
To increase the spring tension loosen the knob, screw the nut
farther down onto the bolt and then retighten the knob.
To decrease the spring tension loosen the knob, screw the
nut farther out toward the end of the bolt and then retighten
the knob. Refer to figure 2 on page 5.
To Adjust Skid Shoes
The skid shoes at the ends of blade may be raised for close
work on smooth surfaces or lowered to raise the blade to
work on rough or uneven areas. Make sure both shoes are
set evenly and that the nuts are retightened securely. See
figure 11.
